Biggest risers in the updated 2025 On300 ranking.

1. Ohio State — 93.761

3 five-stars | 18 four-stars | 5 three-stars | 26 total commits
Top Commit: Bellefontaine (Ohio) Five-Star Plus+ QB Tavien St. Clair, No. 2 NATL. (No. 2 QB).

Ohio State picked up its crown jewel of the 2025 recruiting class early on in the cycle when it landed in-state five-star quarterback Tavien St. Clair in June 2023. St. Clair will have a talented group of receivers to target with blue-chips Quincy Porter, Phillip Bell, De’zie Jones and Bodpegn Miller.

On the defensive side of the ball, the Buckeyes have two of the nation’s best cornerbacks in this class: Houston North Shore’s Devin Sanchez and Birmingham (Ala.) Parker’s Na’eem Offord. Elite linebacker Riley Pettijohn, star safety Faheem Delane and 6-foot-5.5 edge rusher Zahir Mathis join Sanchez and Offord in the top 100.

2. Georgia — 93.382

4 five-stars | 18 four-stars | 3 three-stars | 25 total commits
Top Commit: Savannah Christian Prep (Ga.) Five-Star Plus+ DL Elijah Griffin, No. 5 NATL. (No. 1 DL).

Georgia is known for its defense on the field, and the Bulldogs’ 2025 recruiting class certainly mirrors that. Defensive lineman Elijah Griffin, edge rusher Isaiah Gibson and linebacker Zayden Walker headline this class for the Red and Black for a defensive front that no offensive line will want to block in a couple of years.

Geneva Community (Ill.) wide receiver Talyn Taylor is one of the top wideouts in the country and joined the class back in June. Similarly, Elyiss Williams is one of the nation’s best tight ends and adds another receiving target for Findlay (Ohio) quarterback Ryan Montgomery.

3. LSU — 93.175

3 five-stars | 16 four-stars | 7 three-stars | 26 total commits
Top Commit: Belleville (Mich.) Five-Star Plus+ QB Bryce Underwood, No. 1 NATL. (No. 1 QB).

Despite Michigan’s attempts to flip No. 1 overall prospect Bryce Underwood, LSU has succesfully held on to the Mitten State native since he committed in January. He’s joined in five-star status by cornerback DJ Pickett and running back Harlem Berry.

Marion’s (Ark.) Carius Curne and Laurel’s (Miss.) Tyler Miller add some muscle on the offensive line, while cornerback Kade Phillips, linebacker Charles Ross and edge rushers Jesse Harrold and Damien Shanklin make for a solid defensive class.

4. Texas — 93.167

4 five-stars | 12 four-stars | 7 three-stars | 23 total commits
Top Commit: Galveston (Texas) Ball Five-Star Plus+ safety Jonah Williams, No. 11 NATL. (No. 1 S).

August was a special month for Steve Sarkisian’s staff on the recruiting trail. The Longhorns added a trio of elite recruits in Galveston (Texas) Ball safety Jonah Williams, Sachse (Texas) wide receiver Kaliq Lockett and Jacksonville Mandarin wide receiver Jaime Ffrench.

Elite edge rusher Lance Jackson pledged to UT back in January as one of the earliest commitments of the cycle. Also included in this elite defensive class for the Longhorns are Dallas Skyline linebacker Elijah Barnes, Houston Alief Hastings EDGE Smith Orogbo and Port Charlotte defensive lineman Myron Charles.

5. Alabama — 93.150

4 five-stars | 12 four-stars | 4 three-stars | 20 total commits
Top Commit: Duncanville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ QB Keelon Russell, No. 6 NATL. (No. 3 QB).

Alabama once held the top spot in this rankings earlier this fall, but losing five-star receiver Caleb Cunningham, star EDGE Dawson Merritt and blue-chip running back Anthony Rogers over the last week knocked the Tide down a bit.

Still, the class is loaded with talent. Alabama flipped five-star quarterback Keelon Russell away from SMU in June, and he is set to be protected by elite offensive linemen Ty Haywood, Michael Carroll and Jackson Lloyd. Akylin Dear is a weapon out of the backfield, and Dijon Lee and Justin Hill provide some power to the defense.

6. Auburn — 93.038

1 five-star | 16 four-stars | 10 three-stars | 28 total commits
Top Commit: Lucedale (Miss.) George County five-star QB Deuce Knight, No. 24 NATL. (No. 5 QB).

Auburn pulled off one of the steals of the cycle in early October by flipping elite quarterback Deuce Knight away from Notre Dame. Since late July, the Tigers have also landed edge rusher Jared Smith, safety Anquon Fegans, athlete Derick Smith, defensive lineman Nate Marshall and others.

Enterprise (Ala.) safety Eric Winters, Opelika (Ala.) defensive lineman Malik Autry, running back Alvin Henderson and Highland Home (Ala.) Jakaleb Faulk provide some additional in-state talent for Auburn.

7. Oregon — 92.180

3 five-stars | 11 four-stars | 1 three-stars | 16 total commits
Top Commit: Duncanville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ WR Dakorien Moore, No. 3 NATL. (No. 1 WR).

Although comparatively small, Oregon’s 2025 class is loaded with talent at the top. Dakorien Moore is the top receiver in the nation and was once an LSU commit. He’s joined by elite receiver Dallas Wilson and safety Trey McNutt at the top of the list for the Ducks.

Alongside McNutt in the defensive secondary are star cornerbacks Brandon Finney and Dorian Brew. Las Vegas Bishop Gorman’s Douglas Utu and Tampa Carrollwood Day’s Ziyare Addison are stout offensive line additions.

8. Tennessee — 91.645

1 five-star | 12 four-stars | 11 three-stars | 24 total commits
Top Commit: Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day School Five-Star Plus+ OT Providence Day School, No. 4 NATL. (No. 1 OT).

Five-Star Plus+ offensive tackle David Sanders Jr. is the star of this recruiting class for Tennessee. The Vols landed Sanders over Ohio State, Nebraska and Georgia. On the flip side in the trenches is Elkhart Central (Ind.) EDGE Mariyon Dye, one of the top edge rushers in 2025.

Nashville Brentwood Academy quarterback George MacIntyre will have top prominent targets in his offense with Derby (Kan.) tight end DaSaahn Brame and Atlanta Westlake wide receiver Travis Smith.

9. Miami — 91.384

0 five-stars | 17 four-stars | 6 three-stars | 23 total commits
Top Commit: Jacksonville (Fla.) Mandarin four-star safety Hylton Stubbs, No. 55 NATL. (No. 4 S).

July was a productive month for the Hurricanes on the recruiting trail, landing two of their top three recruits in the class. Jacksonville Mandarin Hylton Stubbs chose to switch tracks and stay in the Sunshine State instead of rolling with USC. One day later, Miami added Las Vegas Bishop Gorman interior offensive lineman SJ Alofaituli.

Blue-chip wide receiver Joshua Moore should be a solid target for rising quarterback Luke Nickel.

10. Michigan — 91.317

1 five-star | 11 four-stars | 7 three-stars | 19 total commits
Top Commit: Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley Northwest five-star OT Andrew Babalola, No. 17 NATL. (No. 3 OT).

Five-star offensive tackle Andrew Babalola is easily the shining prospect of this class for Michigan. Having also seriously considered Stanford, Michigan’s stellar academics played a major role in Babalola’s decision.

The Wolverines flipped Winter Garden (Fla.) West Orange safety Ivan Taylor away from Notre Dame in July and Chester (Va.) Thomas Dale cornerback Shamari Earls away from Georgia earlier this month. Center Valley (Pa.) Southern Lehigh tight end Andrew Olesh is one of the top prospects at his position. Michigan no longer has a quarterback committed in the 2025 class after the decommitment of Carter Smith.

11. Texas A&M — 91.251

0 five-stars | 15 four-stars | 6 three-stars | 21 total commits
Top Commit: Bellville (Texas) four-star DL DJ Sanders, No. 67 NATL. (No. 8 DL).

The centerpiece of Texas A&M’s 2025 class was Corona (Calif.) Centennial five-star quaterback Husan Longstreet. After Julian Lewis decommitted from USC on Sunday, Longstreet then flipped to the in-state Trojans.

With four of their top five commits coming on the defensive side of the ball, the Aggies are setting themselves up for a stout defense down the line. The class is headlined by Bellville (Texas) defensive lineman DJ Sanders, Lancaster (Calif.) Quartz Hill cornerback Adonyss Currie, La Verne (Calif.) Bonita linebacker Noah Mikhail and Goodyear (Ariz.) Desert Edge cornerback Jamar Beal-Goines.

12. Oklahoma — 91.039

1 five-star | 12 four-stars | 8 three-stars | 21 total commits
Top Commit: Lewisville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ OT Michael Fasusi, No. 10 NATL. (No. 2 OT).

The offensive line leads the way for Oklahoma in this class — something at which no program would turn up its nose. Lewisville (Texas) five-star offensive tackle Michael Fasusi committed to the Sooners in August, while coveted OT Ryan Fodje joined the class fairly early back in February.

The pair of tackles will protect Denton (Texas) Guyer quarterback Kevin Sperry, who has been committed since March 2023. Sperry will have plenty of weapons in four-star receivers Cortez Mills, Elijah Thomas, Marcus Harris and Emmanuel Choice.

13. USC — 90.856

2 five-stars | 9 four-stars | 10 three-stars | 22 total commits
Top Commit: Corona (Calif.) Centennial five-star QB Husan Longstreet, No. 20 NATL. (No. 4 QB).

USC slid up the rankings on Sunday by replacing four-star quarterback Julian Lewis with five-star QB Husan Longstreet. West Jordan (Utah) Corner Canyon wide receiver Jerome Myles will be an elite target on the outside for Longstreet.

This class’ defense is led by San Clemente (Calif.) linebacker Matai Tagoa’i, Loxahatchee (Fla.) Seminole linebacker Ty Jackson and Upland (Calif.) cornerback Trestin Castro.

14. Notre Dame — 90.806

0 five-stars | 13 four-stars | 10 three-stars | 24 total commits
Top Commit: Wallingford (Conn.) Choate Rosemary Hall four-star OT Will Black, No. 33 NATL. (No. 6 OT).

Wallingford (Conn.) Choate Rosemary Hall offensive tackle Will Black has long been one of On3’s highest-rated prospects in the 2025 recruiting class. He’s joined on offense by blue-chip tight end James Flanigan and offensive linemen Owen Strebig and Cameron Herron. Vancouver (B.C.) Brunswick quarterback Blake Hebert committed to the Irish 12 days after Deuce Knight flipped to Auburn.

The top of the class is loaded with defensive talent, including Chicago Simeon EDGE Christopher Burgess, Tampa Berkeley Prep cornerback Dallas Golden, Winston Salem (N.C.) Mount Tabor safety JaDon Blair and Indianapolis Ben Davis cornerback Mark Zackery.

15. Penn State — 90.270

0 five-stars | 12 four-stars | 14 three-stars | 26 total commits
Top Commit: Paramus (N.J.) Paramus Catholic four-star OT Malachi Goodman, No. 79 NATL. (No. 9 OT).

Per usual, the trenches are important for James Franklin’s staff in State College. Paramus Catholic (N.J.) offensive tackle Malachi Goodman and Shawnee (Kan.) Mill Valley EDGE Jayden Woods lead the way for Penn State’s 2025 class.

Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei cornerback Daryus Dixson, Latrobe (Pa.) Greater Latrobe linebacker Alex Tatsch and Montvale (N.J.) St. Joseph cornerback Jahmir Joseph add to a stellar defensive class. Three-star quarterback Bekkem Kritza is the singal-caller for this cycle.
