1.
Cumberland holds onto his top spot and will be tough to overtake being one of the top 2026 DL recruits in the country. At 6’5” 250 lbs. he possesses elite athleticism and movement skills for his size. He’s explosive off the ball and uses his combination of strength and quickness to fight off blocks and redirect to the ball carrier. Ideal growth potential and upside as he develops. Also, impressive athlete on the basketball court.
11 Offers: Arizona; Arizona State; Miami; Ohio State; Ole Miss; Oregon; Tennessee; Texas; Texas A&M; Washington; Wisconsin

Reynolds also holds strong at his #2 spot. Highly recruited in both baseball and football. Possesses ideal size and length at 6’4” 195 lbs. Elite level arm talent, accuracy, and strength with great athleticism and speed as a ball carrier. Impressed by his ability to place the ball at all three levels throwing his receivers open with timing and anticipation. Committed to play baseball at ASU as a freshman but has the rare ability to play both sports at the P5 level similar to Duce Robinson (top 2023 baseball/football recruit now at USC). Holds nine offers to date but still under recruited and expect his recruiting stock to reach the elite level as he continues to rise.
9 Offers: Arizona; Arizona State; BYU; Iowa State; Northern Arizona; Oklahoma State; Oregon; Utah; Washington State
3.
Sharper jumps up four sports to #3. The 6’4” 190 lb. WR is an exceptional athlete with great body control, speed, and coordination. He’s fast off the LOS with good quickness and lateral agility to release and gain quick separation. Plus route runner that can attack the defense at all three depths. Strong hands at the catch point, he competes and creates positional leverage to go up and attack the ball in the air. Another dual sport athlete that also excels in basketball. Expect his recruiting to skyrocket as he showcases his ability.
5 Offers: Arizona; Arizona State; Boston College; Colorado State; Oregon; Wisconsin
4.
Bastian moves up four spots to #4. At 6’1” 190 lbs. he’s got a great combination of athleticism, speed, and strength. Possesses a well-rounded skill set that transitions well to multiple positions on both sides of the ball. Played TE last year where he showed good hands and ability after the catch. Right now, projects more on the defensive side where he can use his short area quickness and motor to disrupt plays as they are developing at or behind the LOS. Dad, Kyle Vanden Bosch played in the NFL and brother, Case, is also highly recruited. Great growth potential and upside.
7 Offers: Arizona; Arizona State; Boston College; Illinois; Iowa; Nebraska; Oregon
5.
Jones moves up a spot to #5. He’s a gifted athlete and QB with great versatility as both a passer and runner. Impressed by his arm strength, the ball jumps out his hand whether stretching the field vertically with touch or zipping one into a tight window to the boundary or at the short/intermediate levels. Natural throwing motion that can spin it off platform or on the run to either direction without sacrificing arm strength or accuracy. When he tucks it on broken plays or on designed runs he’s an aggressive ball carrier with good lateral quickness and open field speed. Offered by ASU and UNLV thus far but watch his recruiting take off with a big sophomore season on varsity.
2 Offers: Arizona State; UNLV
