Updated ACC classes in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings

With spring nearing its end and a hectic summer rapidly approaching, football season is coming. Top prospects in the 2026 cycle continue to come off the board as rankings continue to update.

Following the release of the latest 2026 On300 last week, the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings have once again updated. The ACC is attempting to make its presence felt near the top of the pack.

To date, five ACC programs are featured in the top 30 nationally. Clemson and Miami are both represented in the top 10.

Below are the top 2026 recruiting class in the ACC thus far, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

Dabo Swinney and Co. made huge headway in the month of March on their junior day visit weekends, pulling in eight total commitments over those four weeks. Burroughs is the crown jewel of that group, choosing Clemson over Florida and a host of others. The Tigers also solidified the offensive line with four-stars Chancellor Barclay, Adam Guthrie and Grant Wise, and added blue-chip wideout Connor Salmin as well. Four-star WR Gordon Sellars is the newest addition, as he pledged on April 18.

Campbell, four-star cornerback Jaelen Waters and four-star QB Dereon Coleman are all top-30 players in the Sunshine State this cycle. Waters is one of three blue-chip corners in the class to date, alongside four-star Jontavius Wyman — a former Georgia pledge — and four-star CB Camdin Portis, the son of famed RB Clinton Portis.
