Eight more Top-100 prospects set to announce commitments this weekend

There will be no lack of fireworks on the recruiting trail throughout the beginning of July. Following jam-packed official visit schedules, many of the nation’s top uncommitted prospects in the 2026 cycle are ready to make their college decisions.

More than 25 blue-chip prospects have locked in commitment dates across the first six days of July. Some major dominoes are set to fall as programs continue to beef up their pledge lists heading into the back half of the summer.

Monday started things off strong. Tennessee landed a pair of four-stars in top-100 linebacker TJ White and defensive lineman Dereon Albert; Ole Miss beat Auburn for four-star tight end JC Anderson; Utah picked up a surprise pledge from elite offensive tackle Kelvin Obot; SMU won out for four-star LB Kenneth Goodwin III.

On Tuesday, Alabama nabbed another five-star pledge, this time via wide receiver Cederian Morgan. LSU added a big pledge from four-star EDGE Trenton Henderson, while Florida, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas Tech and Arkansas also added blue-chip commitments.

Three more five-star prospects will come off the board this weekend: Offensive tackle Felix Ojo, safety Jireh Edwards and WR Calvin Russell. Five other top-100 prospects — per the Rivals Industry Ranking — are scheduled to announce decisions, too.

Here’s a look at which blue-chippers are set to commit across the first week of one of the busiest months of the 2026 recruiting cycle:
