Updated Top 50 classes in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings

July brought a massive wave of commitments as top recruits flew off the board, bolstering recruiting classes across the nation. August is set to bring more fireworks as the next round of blue-chippers near their decisions.

The On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings continue to shift as the upcoming season is right around the corner. The December signing period is quietly lurking, too.

Below are the top 50 classes in the 2025 cycle, per the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. We break down which programs have the top prospects in the country.

1. Ohio State — 94.054

3 five-stars | 15 four-stars | 6 three-stars | 24 total commits
Top Commit: Houston North Shore Five-Star Plus+ CB Devin Sanchez, No. 4 NATL. (No. 1 CB).

Defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and his staff have gotten busy on the trail this cycle. Of OSU’s 23 commitments, 14 are on that side of the ball and five are in the secondary. Ohio State holds commitments from two of the nation’s top cornerback recruits — Five-Star Plus+ CBs Na’eem Offord and Devin Sanchez. Their class also includes elite linebacker Riley Pettijohn, four-star safety Faheem Delane, four-star EDGE Zahir Mathis, four-star EDGE London Merritt, four-star linebacker Tarvos Alford, four-star cornerback DeShawn Stewart and others.

On the offensive side, OSU has already locked up its quarterback in the class with elite passer Tavien St. Clair. He’s joined by the likes of Toledo (Ohio) Whitmer four-star offensive tackle Carter Lowe, four-star tight end Nate Roberts, four-star wide receiver Quincy Porter and four-star WR De’zie Jones.

Early in June, the Buckeyes struck again offensive side of the ball with four-star athlete Bo Jackson, who is expected to play running back at the next level, and elite wide receiver Quincy Porter.

2. Alabama — 93.665

4 five-stars | 12 four-stars | 4 three-stars | 21 total commits
Top Commit: Denton (Texas) Ryan five-star offensive tackle Ty Haywood, No. 11 NATL. (No. 2 OT)

Alabama’s two highest-rated commits have joined the class in the month of July, and they did it on back-to-back days. Denton (Texas) Ryan five-star offensive tackle Ty Haywood committed to the Tide on July 14, one day after DeBoer landed a pledge from Ackerman (Miss.) Choctaw County five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham.

Haywood and Cunningham are just half of the five-star recruits committed to Alabama. In June, the Tide landed Mission Viejo (Calif.) five-star cornerback Dijon Lee and flipped Duncanville (Texas) five-star quarterback Keelon Russell away from SMU.

Additional top-100 pledged for the Crimson Tide include Eastman (Ga.) Dodge County four-star athlete Darrell Johnson, Cincinnati Winton Woods edge rusher Justin Hill, Doylestown (Pa.) Central Bucks East interior offensive lineman Michael Carroll, Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei cornerback Chuck McDonald and Carmel (Calif.) offensive tackle Jackson Lloyd.

3. LSU — 93.210

3 five-stars | 13 four-stars | 3 three-star | 19 total commits
Top Commit: Belleville (Mich.) Five-Star Plus+ QB Bryce Underwood, No. 1 NATL. (No. 1 QB).

Zephyrhills (Fla.) Five-Star Plus+ cornerback DJ Pickett now flanks Belleville (Mich.) Five-Star Plus+ QB Bryce Underwood at the top of LSU’s elite pledge list. Metairie (La.) St. Martin’s Episcopal five-star running back Harlem Berry is also in the mix at the top for Brian Kelly and Co.

The Tigers got off to a hot start early, but have continued to add to their class this summer. In June, four-stars Jesse Harrold and Carius Curne put their names on the commitment list. And July has already seen the additions of four-star defensive linemen Brandon Brown, Damien Shanklin and Zion Williams as well as On300 cornerback Jhase Thomas.

Eight of the 17 future Tigers hail from the state of Louisiana, a recruiting priority for head coach Brian Kelly since he took over. In 2024, LSU signed 13 of the state’s top 17 prospects, including nine of the top 10. Linebackers Keylan Moses and Charles Ross headline the defense alongside the aforementioned defensive line haul.

4. Georgia — 92.590

3 five-stars | 15 four-stars | 3 three-stars | 21 total commits
Top Commit: Warner Robins (Ga.) five-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson, No. 19 NATL. (No. 1 EDGE).

Ellaville (Ga.) Schley County five-star linebacker Zayden Walker joined the class as Georgia’s third five-star in early June. Not long after, Warner Robins (Ga.) five-star EDGE Isaiah Gibson decommitted from USC and joined the fold in Athens. They sit alongside Folkston (Ga.) Camden five-star TE Elyiss Williams at the top of the class.

Recent additions to the class for Georgia include: Bogart (Ga.) Prince Avenue Christian four-star defensive lineman Christian Garrett, four-star offensive lineman Mason Short — a one-time Alabama commit who reopened his recruitment when Nick Saban retired — four-star quarterback Ryan Montgomery and four-star wide receiver/athlete Thomas Blackshear.

Geneva (Ill.) Community four-star receiver Talyn Taylor, the No. 48 overall prospect, joined the class in mid-June. Chester (Va.) Thomas Dale four-star cornerback Shamari Earls flipped from South Carolina to the ‘Dawgs on July 7.

The final weekend of June saw four big-time commitments for the Ducks, highlighted by a surprise pledge from Conroe (Texas) elite four-star cornerback Dorian Brew. He joined Tampa Bay Tech five-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson at the top of the pack for Dan Lanning and Co. just a week before Duncanville (Texas) Five-Star Plus+ wide receiver Dakorien Moore took over the top spot in the class.

Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star running back Jordon Davison picked the Ducks over the likes of Ohio State, Michigan and Alabama. San Diego (Calif.)

Southside four-star athlete Derick Smith and Saraland (Ala.) four-star defensive lineman Antonio Coleman each flipped from Alabama, while Alabaster (Ala.) Thompson four-star safety Anquon Fegans and Baltimore St. Frances four-star CB Blake Woodby also joined.

Auburn made a big splash on June 21 by flipping in-state four-star running back Alvin Henderson away from Penn State. Four-star safety Eric Winters helps headline the class after committing on June 15.

Nashville (Tenn.) Brentwood Academy four-star quarterback George MacIntyre remains the top pledge in the class and continued to play lead recruiter for the Vols. Now the No. 8 QB in the nation, the gunslinger is also the No. 1 player in Tennessee.

Las Vegas Bishop Gorman four-star interior offensive lineman Douglas Utu and Elkhart (Ind.) Central four-star EDGE Mariyon Dye highlight the six June additions for UT.

Milton (Ga.) four-star WR CJ Wiley is a top-100 recruit who joined in a twist this summer.

Cocoa (Fla.) four-star EDGE Javion Hilson is the centerpiece pledge on the defensive side of the ball, currently checking in as the No. 40 prospect and No. 3 EDGE in the nation. He’s flanked on the defensive front by Port Charlotte (Fla.) four-star defensive lineman Myron Charles and Greensboro (Ga.) Greene County four-star DL Kevin Wynn, a pair of top-150 pledges.
