Five-star linebacker from Loganville, Ga., Atkinson, has visited Georgia 15 times, most recently on an official visit he described as unforgettable. Sources suggest it would be a surprise if he didn’t commit to the Bulldogs,especially after spending considerable time with coach Kirby Smart and defensive coordinator glenn Schumann.
USC is prioritizing Houston, a four-star quarterback in the 2027 class, and mutual interest is strong. The quarterback recently visited Los Angeles to work out with other recruits and commits. Oklahoma, along with Texas, Texas A&M, and LSU, are also in the mix.
Tennessee is aggressively pursuing Igwebuike,a four-star linebacker from Chicago,Ill., and was among the early standouts in his recruitment. Igwebuike, who has over 30 offers, is also receiving significant attention from Ohio State, Wisconsin, Florida, and Missouri.
Oregon has emerged as a top contender for a five-star edge rusher, who cited the coaching staff’s consistency as a major factor. The question remains whether the Ducks can surpass Alabama and Texas A&M.
Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer has told Mallory, a four-star Miami running back commit, that he would fit perfectly into the Crimson Tide’s offensive system. The staff also emphasized the program’s history of producing elite running backs. While Mallory remains committed to Miami, Alabama has given him much to consider.
Ole Miss has been a strong contender for a four-star receiver from Morton, Miss., with Florida State and north Carolina also involved. Though, LSU is now the front-runner after he visited Baton Rouge. The LSU coaches emphasized the opportunities for success and the value of an LSU degree.
UCLA is making a strong push for a four-star Texas A&M edge commit. Washington and Texas are also working to flip him, but UCLA’s coaching staff has been aggressive in their pursuit.
Despite his brother Elijah playing for Washington in the NFL, the Huskies are not among the front-runners for Molden, a 2027 four-star cornerback from West Linn, Ore. Molden’s visit to Ohio State exceeded expectations, and he is already planning a return trip. Alabama and texas are also in contention, along with oregon.
Ohio State was Moses’ dream school growing up, despite his brothers playing for Alabama and LSU.After being offered by the Buckeyes, they are now at the top of his list, along with Texas A&M. The 2027 safety from Baton Rouge, La., is also expected to receive attention from LSU.
Prock, a 2028 quarterback from Princeton, N.J., recently received an offer from Ohio State, placing the Buckeyes “very high” in his recruitment. He is building a relationship with coach Ryan Day and position coach Billy Fessler. Illinois is also a strong contender, and Penn State has shown increased interest. Alabama was his dream school growing up.
Florida remains one of the top contenders for Prothro, a four-star tight end from bowdon, Ga., but Georgia is still considered the leader, with Auburn in second place. With Mark Bowman choosing USC, Prothro becomes an even bigger target for the in-state power.
A four-star tight end committed to Tennessee as last August has been taking visits due to concerns about the Vols’ tight end usage.Florida made a significant impression, and a final decision is expected in the next few weeks.
Miami is making a serious move for a four-star tight end from Duncanville, texas, emphasizing growth at his position.SMU, Pitt, and Oklahoma are also in contention, with Oklahoma believed to have an edge.
oregon is an early favorite for arguably the top 2028 quarterback nationally, who worked out with their staff. Georgia and Ohio State could also be major contenders, with Washington and Texas rounding out his early top list.
Williams, a 2027 four-star receiver from New Orleans, La., recently received an offer from LSU, which he called “one of my dreams.” With over 20 offers, LSU is now a major contender and could be the team to beat.
