Great list! Interesting that there are no QBs in the top 15. Definitely will have some QBs on the 2026 list. 
 

Austin Alexander will announce his college choice this Friday at 3:30pn.

I don’t know the criteria for a 3 star, 4 star, or even 5 star. But Javeon Campbell has offers from every school in the SEC along with Ohio St and ND.

Jack James is the only QB.  I believe he is a reclass from the 2024 class.

 

Definitely a strong list of talent.  I think the top 5 are indisputable, but 6-15 could be interchangeable.

I'm surprised Dylan Stewart from Conner is not a 3 star yet.

Brady Atwell from Owensboro Catholic not on this list??

Possibly because he already committed for baseball?

How to get on a recruits list:

1a ... Size 

1b ... Speed

 

 

4 ... High School stats

Definitely traits over production. I think in general:

5-Star - Elite size/speed and production or a true outlier athlete (Think of Darnell Washington being rated over Mayer lol)

4-Star - Usually elite production but slightly smaller and slower than the 5 stars. Or slightly more raw as a player, but great size/speed. 

3- Star - Either a "project type" with elite size/speed or someone with elite production that is just smaller and/or slower. For your guy Hayden, I think he ends up here with how well he throws it and his production. A MAC or high FCS level player imo. 

For example, if Austin Alexander with his tape was 6'5/255 and a step faster instead of 6'3/245, I think he's a 5 star. If Quisenberry was 6'/190 instead of 5'9/160, he's a borderline 5 star instead of a 3 star.

I've had this conversation with many people over the years. College coaches can miss on kids if they are the right size. You absolutely can't miss on someone who is too small. That's why the list looks like it does.

No doubt if Quisenberry were 6 foot 190 lbs he would 5 star.

6 D1 offers should qualify.
