Commitments are coming off the board at a breakneck pace as we reach the official midway point in July.

July is off to a fast start fo the Tigers, picking up Indianapolis Warren Central four-star EDGE Damien Shanklin, On3 four-star defensive back Jhase Thomas and four-star Zion Williams — in addition to flipping Melbourne (Fla.) Eau Gallie four-star defensive lineman Brandon Brown away from Texas.

The Sooners added another key piece to the puzzle on March 29 with the addition of four-star running back Tory Blaylock.

On the defensive side, the Sooners nabbed three early commitments from linebacker Marcus James, EDGE Alexander Shieldnight and defensive lineman Ka’Mori Moore. They added to that in a big way in April, landing commitments from four-star defensive lineman Trent Wilson, three-star cornerback Maliek Hawkins, and four-star safety Marcus Wimberly.

When looking at Tennessee’s 2025 class, all eyes point toward Nashville Brentwood four-star quarterback George MacIntyre. Four-star in-state IOL Nic Moore pledged on June 20 and was followed by On3 4-star DL Charles House on June 22 and elite IOL Douglas Utu on June 24. The Vols also got on the board in July with coveted four-star wideout Travis Smith, who chose Tennessee over Alabama and Georgia.

He joins Memphis Sheffield four-star wide receiver Radarious Jackson as one of the most important additions to the class and an On3 top-100 overall prospect.

On March 28, Nashville Ensworth four-star defensive lineman Ethan Utley joined the fold, choosing the Vols over Michigan, Texas and others. Elkhart (Ind.) Central four-star EDGE commit Mariyon Dye is one of the highest-rated prospects in the class and an On3 top-40 recruit.

Top Commit: Texarkana (Texas) Pleasant Grove EDGE Lance Jackson, No. 37 NATL. (No. 2 EDGE)

While the 2025 class has been a bit of a disappointment so far by Texas’ standards, the Longhorns still have a talented group of more than a dozen prospects committed.

The headliner of the group is Jackson, who sits just outside five-star status in the On3 Industry Ranking. The ‘Horns have a pair of top-100 defenders to go along with him in EDGE Smith Orogbo and linebacker Elijah Barnes, both from the Lone Star State.

Saraland (Ala.) four-star quarterback K.J. Lacey is the centerpiece of the Longhorns’ offensive class, and he’s joined by two four-star running backs — James Simon and Rickey Stewart Jr. — as well as four-star tight ends Emaree Winston and Nick Townsend, who committed on Monday.

15. Missouri — 90.120

IMG Academy four-star wide receiver Donovan Olugbode.

Eureka (Mo.) four-star offensive tackle Jack Lange is a standout in-state addition, as he’s the top-ranked player in Missouri this cycle and the No. 12 tackle overall. Germantown (Tenn.) Melrose four-star running back Jamarion Morrow highlights the five commitments that came for Mizzou in June, while Cocoa (Fla.) four-star WR Jayvan Boggs and Coffeyville (Kan.) Field Kindley On3 four-star IOL Keiton Jones have also joined the class in July.
