RELATED: After a nice visit in June, QB Tait Reynolds commits to Clemson
After committing to Ole Miss for nearly five months, Amos backed out of his commitment to the Rebels in late June and reopened his recruitment.
Word on the street is that Tulane has emerged as the leading contender for his recruitment and that the Green Wave are recruiting Amos the hardest, as the four-star linebacker from Opelousas, Louisiana, could look to stay closer to home, but a commitment anywhere isn’t expected until after the season.
*****
It’s been a big June for the four-star linebacker from Fyffe, Alabama, as Auburn, Georgia, Clemson, Ole Miss and more have gotten involved, but it’s still largely a two-team race, with Clemson and the Rebels making the biggest impression on him.
Some believe the Tigers have the greater advantage and could be difficult to beat at this stage.
*****
The four-star prospect out of Warner Robins (Georgia) Northside is one of the most intriguing prospects in the 2025 class as he stands 6-foot-8 but only weighs around 250 pounds, so there’s still a high ceiling there, especially if he develops further physically.
Four schools stand out the most to Brown at this point, as Louisville, Georgia State, UCF and West Virginia have emerged as the favorites in his recruitment.
*****
The four-star defensive tackle lives less than 20 miles from Florida’s campus and the Gators have been considered the favorites for some time, but recent rumors indicate Ohio State could be the leading contender for his recruitment.
Developing in Columbus and the chance to be coached by Larry Johnson Jr. Along the defensive line, there might be too much to pass up as the Gators and others stay in the mix.
*****
Four-star safety from Paducah (Ky.) Tilghman committed to Kentucky in late May and while he’s locked in with the Wildcats, another SEC program is trying to bring him in and there’s serious consideration given to possibly making the trip.
Auburn has made Carter a priority and tried to turn him over and while it’s still a little difficult, the Tigers are definitely trying to stay involved.

It could very well be a battle between South Carolina and North Carolina for the four-star receiver from Rock Hill, South Carolina, as the Gamecocks and Tar Heels have long been the favorites. But a new program has definitely emerged as a major suitor for Clark through June, as Florida State was the first program he mentioned and the Seminoles definitely have his attention. A commitment should come in the coming weeks.
*****
With Dakorien Moore choosing Oregon over Texas, Ffrench becomes an even bigger target for Texas this recruiting cycle along with Kaliq Lockett and now the Longhorns could go back to Hitchcock, Texas, four-star WR Kelshaun Johnson or others to land that spot.
Ffrench and Lockett definitely remain the top two targets and Texas is still rumored to be committed to Oregon WR Dallas Wilson.
*****
The 2026 four-star safety from Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy released his top 13 in recent days and programs across the country still have a chance with Fort, but the word is that Florida State should be watched more closely in his recruiting.
Fort has had serious interest in the Seminoles for a long time and now that they’re in his top 13, they could be ones to watch.
*****
The announcement that LSU and Stanford have become Jimcoily’s final two players is a bit premature, as the four-star safety from Nashville (Tenn.) Lipscomb Academy is still seriously considering Alabama and Tennessee.
Jimcoily is eyeing an early August commitment and the Tigers might have a slight advantage in his recruiting, but it’s not a two-team race, all four remain in the mix.
*****
The four-star athlete from Bushnell (Fla.) South Sumter has Georgia, Texas A&M and Penn State as his three finalists and a decision will be made July 14.
The Bulldogs might still have an advantage since Johnson is just days away from his decision because they might like him more as a safety than an athlete, but the Aggies and Nittany Lions are still in the race.
*****
With over 40 offers, Krempin has a ton of options and has seen a lot of programs so far in his recruitment, but the ones that have definitely stood out so far are LSU, SMU, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma Alabama and Arkansas.
There isn’t necessarily a favorite yet for the 2026 four-star offensive tackle from Prospect, Texas, as he still wants to visit Michigan, Clemson, Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Florida State and Wisconsin, but his recruitment is definitely taking a regional turn.
*****
After committing to Auburn in early May, it looked like Lockhart’s recruitment might have been wrapped up, but Mississippi State never gave up on recruiting the four-star linebacker from Winona, Miss., and it would now be a surprise if the Bulldogs weren’t the favorite.
Committed QB Kamario Taylor recently said Lockhart was a prime target to commit to because Lockhart lives just an hour from Starkville.
*****
Dakorien Moore’s decision to choose Oregon over Texas could lead to Texas recommitting to Marsh and becoming a bigger target in his recruitment, but the word is that Michigan is definitely the team to beat for star Katy (Texas) Jordan.
It will be interesting to see if Texas A&M’s offense looks great this season or if the Longhorns really start to step up, but the Wolverines have to like where they are right now.
*****
There’s growing belief that Oregon is now the team to beat for four-star safety from Cleveland (Ohio) Shaker Heights and the Ducks could be tough to beat here, especially after his June visit to Eugene.
He remains an Ohio State legacy and the Buckeyes are still recruiting him hard, but there’s a sense that Oregon is on top.
*****
After a busy June, four programs have emerged as favorites in recruiting four-star receiver St. Louis (Mo.) Cardinal Ritter.
Tennessee and Ole Miss could battle for Miller with Kentucky and UCLA rounding out the favorites.
*****
The four-star receiver from Draper (Utah) Corner Canyon recently decommitted from his commitment to Ole Miss and now three teams are most likely to recommit Myles.
There have been heavy rumors that Utah is definitely the frontrunner in his recruitment and that would be huge for the Utes, but Michigan and Texas A&M have also intrigued Myles a lot.
*****
LSU and Oregon could battle it out for the five-star out of Zephyrhills, Fla., as the Tigers could have a slight edge heading into his decision on July 17. Miami had long been the favorite — and Pickett even admitted the Hurricanes were the frontrunner — but that changed in June.
Where it could get interesting is if Miami has a phenomenal season and that could prompt Pickett to take another look at the in-state program.
*****
Georgia Tech has been one of the anchor programs with four-star Huntsville (Ala.) defensive end Jemison, but there have been other big changes as Indiana, Memphis and Tulane are the other schools to watch in his recruitment.
Auburn is a program Swain has talked about since the beginning of his recruitment, but the Tigers might be short on Swain at this point.
*****
Auburn appeared to have an advantage earlier in Vaughn’s recruitment, but now the four teams to watch are Mississippi State, LSU, Arkansas and Ole Miss.
There have been rumors that the Rebels could have the edge now for the four-star DL from Madison (Miss.) Hartfield Academy, but it could end up being an in-state battle between Ole Miss and the Bulldogs.
*****
Oregon is certainly a big school in Waverly’s commitment, but it will be interesting to see if that remains the case after the recent commitment of four-star DaSaahn Brame.
Washington’s new coaching staff has yet to contact four-star tight end from Mukilteo (Wash.) Kamiak, but Arkansas has been increasingly involved lately, so the Razorbacks could be one to watch.
