<p>Heading into the first phases of the 2026 rankings update, I'm beginning to solidify the top of the class. Unsurprisingly, these are national recruits already with a big head of steam heading into their sophomore season. These three guys already have offers, and all have incredible traits that ensure an upward trajectory moving forward. So now, I present to you three class of 2026 recruits that will soon be near the top of the rankings! </p>

<p><strong>ATH | [player_tooltip player_id='212358' first='Corey' last='Sadler'] | Cass Tech </strong></p>

<p>Spoiler: Sadler will be the #1 player in the first version of these rankings. CJ has been a national prospect since his early middle school days, and he already holds many D1 offers, including 4 from the Big 10. It's impossible to sum up Sadler's game in a few sentences, but I'll do my best anyway. </p>

<p>Sadler is already elite in many skill position categories. Speed, elusiveness, vision, footwork, talent, drive, etc. Frankly, I've never seen a freshman more polished. Playing for Michigan's longest-lasting powerhouse, Sadler performed incredibly against many of Michigan's top teams. Sadler will be a highly-touted national recruit for his entire high school career, and if he maximizes his potential, he has the opportunity to be an electric college athlete with NFL potential. I haven't seen Sadler play in person yet, but he's surely on the very top of my list. </p>

<p><strong>DB | [player_tooltip player_id='284003' first='AJ' last='Marks'] | St. Mary's </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With multiple D1 offers and a great season in the Catholic Central, Marks is solidified as a top prospect. 20 PBUs is an incredible stat, while having two interceptions and 54 tackles. In addition, Marks had 3 reps as a returnman, and 1 touchdown. I have a feeling this season is just scratching the surface of what he can become. Now, he just has to hone in on the little things. Weight room, fundamentals, and getting it oa gorrve of year-round work. He's an elite 2026 prospect, and with an elite work ethic, will become one of the most highly-touted DBs in the class of 2026. </p>

<p><strong>WR | [player_tooltip player_id='557691' first='Jaquan' last='Stennis'] Jr. | Old Redford</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>247 has Stennis going to Detroit MLK, but his Twitter and The D Zone have Old Redford. Either way, Stennis is a 6'6" 180lb wide receiver who is also incredible on the hardwood. Stennis has three division 1 offers from Michigan, Wisconsin, and UMass, making him a freshman with incredible accolades. The Dual-sport prospect is tall, long, and incredible athletic. It looks like he could be a D1 player in Basketball and Football, and may have to make a decision by his senior year. I'm shocked by how polished an athlete Stennis already is! </p>
