As the college football recruiting calendar hurtles toward its biggest few months of the year this summer, we\u2019ve already seen a number of elite prospects make early commitments.<\/p>\n
Of the 32 recruits currently ranked as five-stars in the Rivals Industry Ranking<\/a>, 19 are already pledged to a school with more than seven months until National Signing Day. That number will shift up and down some over the next few months. But it marks another cycle where prospects are getting in earlier than ever before. In the 2026 class, nearly all 32 five-stars were committed by the end of the summer and remained with those schools through signing day.<\/p>\n [<\/strong><\/a>$19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage<\/strong><\/a>]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n A handful of schools have gotten off to hot early starts \u2014 landing a five-star and in some cases two. But it\u2019s the Texas A&M Aggies<\/a><\/strong> all alone with a whopping four commits among the nation\u2019s top 32 players. Mike Elko and Co. have secured the nation\u2019s No. 1 safety Kamarui Dorsey<\/a>, No. 3 IOL Kennedy Brown<\/a><\/strong>, No. 2 EDGE Zyron Forstall<\/a> and No. 5 CB Raylaun Henry<\/a>. <\/p>\n The Aggies are currently running away with the No. 1 class, and they\u2019re in contention for even more top targets with the summer official visit season coming. <\/p>\n Rivals breaks down which teams also have five-star commitments and are chasing the Aggies right now:<\/p>\n Texas A&M<\/p>\n SAF\u00a0Kamarui Dorsey<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> IOL Kennedy Brown<\/a><\/strong> EDGE\u00a0Zyron Forstall<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> CB Raylaun Henry<\/a><\/strong> Teams with two five-star commits<\/p>\n Ohio State<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n EDGE\u00a0David Jacobs<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> WR\u00a0Jamier Brown<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> Georgia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n RB\u00a0Kemon Spell<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> CB\u00a0Donte Wright<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> Texas Tech <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n DL\u00a0Jalen Brewster<\/a><\/strong> EDGE Anthony Sweeney<\/a> Oklahoma<\/a><\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n OT\u00a0Cooper Hackett<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> OT Kaeden Penny<\/a><\/strong> LSU<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n TE Ahmad Hudson<\/a><\/strong> EDGE Jaiden Bryant<\/a><\/strong> Teams with one five-star commit in the 2027 class<\/p>\n Florida<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 IOL\u00a0Maxwell Hiller<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> Texas<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 WR\u00a0Easton Royal<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> Alabama<\/a> \u2013 QB Elijah Haven<\/a><\/strong> USC<\/a> \u2014 ATH\u00a0Honor Fa\u2019alave-Johnson<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> Miami<\/a> \u2014 WR Nick Lennear<\/a><\/strong>
