Updated Top 25 classes in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings

On3 has released its final iteration of rankings for the 2024 recruiting cycle. The latest edition of On3’s 2024 rankings features 32 five-star players, up from 21 in the penultimate update in November. Of those 32 prospects, 29 are signed to college programs, with three still yet to make their decisions official.

With December National Signing Day and January All-American games in the books, this is where the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings stand following rankings updates throughout the industry.

Below are the top 25 classes in the 2024 cycle, breaking down which programs have the top prospects in the country:

1. Georgia — 95.079

5 five-stars | 18 four-stars | 5 three-stars | 28 total commits
Top Commit: Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy Five-Star Plus+ cornerback Ellis Robinson IV, No. 2 in the On3 Industry Ranking

Georgia once again landed the top recruiting class in the nation behind three Five-Star Plus+ prospects and nine top-100 recruits. The ‘Dawgs are led by Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy Five-Star Plus+ cornerback Ellis Robinson IV, Conroe (Texas) Oak Ridge Five-Star Plus+ linebacker Justin Williams and Buford (Ga.) Five-Star Plus+ safety KJ Bolden — who flipped from Florida State on National Signing Day in December.

Additional top-100 prospects include Conroe (Texas) Oak Ridge four-star defensive lineman Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, Salem (Va.) four-star linebacker Chris Cole, Swainsboro (Ga.) four-star cornerback Demello Jones, Santa Ana (Calif.)

Top Commit: Saraland (Ala.) Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Ryan Williams, No. 5 in the On3 Industry Ranking

Alabama’s 2024 class sits ranked No. 2 in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings, but took a bit of a hit after the retirement of legendary head coach Nick Saban.
