Best of the Uncommitted 2026s: Early July

We have seen an impressive crop of athletes in the Class of 2026 announcement their commitments over the past couple weeks. Kids going FBS, FCS, D2, and even a D3 commit or two. The top of the rankings is filling in quickly with commitments, but we are far from done when it comes to top end talent still looking and deciding on their next level homes. So let's dive into some of those top tier studs today. Let's see how they have done this summer at camps as well as take a look back at their 2024 film to see what they are building on top of for this coming season.    When it comes to versatility you will be hard-pressed to find an athlete more impressive than [player_tooltip player_id='566705' first='Mitchell' last='Boeder'] out of Kewaunee. On the field he is an All Region OL, All Conference DL, and a team captain. Off the field he is a heavyweight wrestler, shotput and discus thrower, and a state qualifying trap shooter. The 6'4" 275 lbs incoming senior seems to have that innate ability to pick things up quickly and develop the traits for success at a high rate. On the field Boeder brings explosive power that has made him an overpowering run blocker and also someone who can quickly get penetration as a DL and create disruption in the backfield. No doubt Mitchell is one of the top athletes in the state when it comes to the OL/DL positions.     Judeah is one of the best WRs in the state, and he has had a summer that has only further verified that. The incoming senior has a strong 6'1" 195 lbs frame now with 4.5 40 speed at his disposal. Judeah has been performing very well this summer, shining during 1v1s with his release, route running, and ball skills. The '26 WR has quickly developed his agility and explosive acceleration paired with balance and body control to start/stop on a dime that leaves DBs running right past him and opening up a ton of separation. No doubt about it, Judeah is one of the best available WRs and he is in store for a monster senior season.     Aziz has had a fantastic offseason. The 2026 WR/DB has seen several offers rolling in from the D2/D3 levels and I believe he could legitimately be a recruit for either side of the ball. Aziz checks in at 5'11" 175 lbs, but also brings a 6'4" wingspan and plays with 4.59 40 speed. Outstanding speed and length for the positions. The incoming senior is so athletic and twitchy on top of the speed. As a DB he can backpedal and transition out of it to attack the ball so effortlessly and quickly. On the offensive side of the ball it is so impressive watching him carry speed throughout his routes leaving DBs falling behind him as he tracks down the deep ball. Aziz can lock down a WR at DB or leave DBs spinning in circles looking for him as a WR. Do not miss out on this explosive weapon.     Rice Lake's Will Svendsen is going to be one of the top kids at his position when we get to the 2026 update. He has a fantastic frame to fill out at the next level, standing 6'5" 205 lbs currently. On the field Will has proven to be a serious mismatch weapon. He has speed to stretch the field vertically up the seam, quickly getting behind safeties that didn't respect his speed with more cushion. Will offers inside/outside alignment versatility and has examples of him using that frame to win battles. The '26 is a monster in the redzone where he can box out DBs and protect the ball with that frame. It is also great to see the selflessness as a blocker. Will flies off the line with the same violence and intensity as a run blocker as he does when releasing for a route. Will is definitely a standout among a talented TE position group.     I'm shocked that we haven't seen more action around 2026 TE/DE [player_tooltip player_id='1707885' first='Reid' last='Blackburn']. The 6'5" 225 lbs athlete has an elite frame and tape that shows him making impact plays on both sides of the ball. Reid also has put up great numbers at camps while switching between TE and DE. That includes a 10'3" broad jump 31.5" vertical, and a 4.76 40 yard dash. In 2024 Reid wasn't highly productive, but on a talented roster he still was able to create 109 receiving yards, 1 TD, 3 sacks, 1 TFL, 1 FF, and 1 FR. On the defensive side of the ball Reid shows quick, active hands, the ability to dip and change pad level, and also run tight circle to the QB. On offense the incoming senior flashes a quick release that gets him open early in the play for his QB and the dude will run hard after the catch. I have a feeling 2025 is going to be his breakout year. I can't wait to watch it and see the attention he earns.     I am becoming a fan of Brennan very quickly. The 6'3" 265 lbs 2026 OL is a difference maker in the trenches. He is blessed with heavy hands and quick feet that have allowed him to put kids in the dirt with his initial strike or mirror them easily in pass rush and also stay square on them while running them off the line with his power blocking. Watching his highlights the first word that comes to mind is violence. Brennan is always putting someone on the ground or running them 10 yards off the line of scrimmage or burying them behind the QB deep into his pass set. I love his potential as a guard at the next level and feel he is extremely slept on. Check this kid out. I can't wait to get him ranked.     Next up we have Sun Prairie East OL [player_tooltip player_id='1626702' first='Edward' last='Witkiewicz']. The 6'4" 290 lbs incoming senior looks the part of a next level OL and he has tape that shows him playing like one too. Edward is a mauler throughout his highlight reel. His frame brings plenty of power to the trenches that helps him create that positive surge, opening up running lanes for his RBs. The big man also has developed the hands of a heavyweight boxer, dropping DL with a strong first punch on multiple reps of his highlights. On top of the power we see sufficient foot quickness to be able to provide reliable pass protection as well. Edward could be another player in this Class who has a breakout year and really see his recruitment take off as the early game film starts to come out.     This is a fun player to watch! Brett is a massive human being at 6'6" 210 lbs, and looks like a very intriguing TE prospect. However, some of his film has been at QB going back to last season. Even at that position the naturally athletic 2026 is able to make big time plays with a natural arm that can get the ball to all spots on the field. Lucky for us there are plenty of TE reps and Brett looks like a natural. He has a quick release off the line, is very smooth through his routes despite the long strides, and does so well using that huge frame to protect the ball and bring it in securely. For such a big athlete it is also impressive to see how quick he is in tight quarters. Brett looks like a legitimate steal among the 2026 TE Class, a position that seems to get deeper by the day.
