Overview
- The early signing period begins Wednesday, Dec. 3, with 247Sports listing announcement times for remaining uncommitted prospects.
- USC currently tops both ESPN and 247Sports team rankings, powered by 19 in-state California commits including nine four-star recruits.
- Most top recruits have already committed in the current NIL and transfer-portal landscape, so limited movement is expected at the top.
- Analysts say Georgia’s class could shift if No. 3 overall quarterback Jared Curtis changes his commitment, with Bleacher Report projecting a flip to Vanderbilt.
- Jordan Carter is ESPN’s highest-ranked uncommitted player and plans to announce during the window, while recent Alabama decommit Sam Utu is widely projected to choose SMU.
