It's safe to say camp season has benefited several prospects in recent weeks. Players throughout the state have picked up offers left and right, especially some of the top ranked prospects in our Class of ‘26 rankings.    Not only will this report highlight some of the latest commitment announcements, but it will also be a preview of where this group will be ranked in the next update. When the next update is published expect to see these six inside the Top 25.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tight Ends</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1327745' first='Drake' last='DeBaun'] - Shawnee Mission South, TE (Wake Forest)   Like a few others from this group, DeBaun is a prospect that will see a sizable increase in rank compared to the previous update. The 6-foot-6 tight end was a South Dakota State commit before the summer, but after taking an official visit to Wake Forest a week ago, DeBaun flipped his commitment to the Demon Deacons. He's also recently received a 3-Star rating from 247Sports.    [player_tooltip player_id='1403609' first='Arley' last='Morrell'] - Pratt, TE (Colorado State)   Morrell will follow closely behind DeBaun in the next update, as they'll both be two of the top ranked tight ends in the class. The Pratt product was the first to announce his commitment out of this group. After receiving quite a bit of interest throughout the spring, Morrell ultimately decided to commit to Colorado State earlier this month. He may be a small-town prospect, but he has big-time potential.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Linebacker</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1311523' first='Lawson' last='McGraw'] - Blue Valley West, LB/ATH (Kansas State)   McGraw's a prospect I've been high on since last summer. He's emerged as one the premier linebackers in this class, and has had several programs recruiting him. The Blue Valley West product has displayed his athleticism at multiple camps this month, and finally received the offer he'd been waiting for. Just a few days ago he announced his commitment to the Kansas State Wildcats.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Offensive Line</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='1228898' first='Nick' last='Anciaux'] - Kapaun Mt. Carmel, OL (Tulsa)   Our staff has been tracking the recruitment of Anciaux the past few months. He quickly became a hot commodity at offensive tackle after last season, and this past spring he had a number of programs constantly reaching out to him. Anciaux narrowed down his choices and picked the program that stood out the most to him, as he announced his commitment to the University of Tulsa. He'll be one of the highest stock risers in the next update.    [player_tooltip player_id='1114740' first='Stephen' last='Carroll'] - St. Thomas Aquinas, OL (Central Arkansas)   Carroll was one of a few uncommitted offensive linemen left inside the Top 25. That's no longer the case after his announcement earlier this week. Central Arkansas was one of the first programs to reach out to Carroll earlier this year and they made a good impression on the talented lineman. He made his verbal commitment to the Bears on June 17th.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Athlete</h2>   [player_tooltip player_id='904442' first='Robert' last='Hunter'] - Wichita East, ATH (South Dakota State)   The South Dakota State Jackrabbits have been known to recruit talent from the Sunflower State in recent years. SDSU just picked up a commitment from one of the top ranked athletes in our Class of ‘26 rankings. Hunter of Wichita East verbally committed to the Jackrabbits just last night. He's a phenomenal two-way player, but likely projects to be a defensive back at the collegiate level.

It's safe to say camp season has benefited several prospects in recent weeks. Players throughout the state have picked up offers left and right, especially some of the top ranked prospects in our Class of ‘26 rankings.
