Here's some special news just in time for the holidays. Before we move on to the new year, we're closing out 2025 with the final rankings update for the Class of ‘26. The commitments have been rolling in for the senior class, and there are still several talented prospects looking for a home.    This update will feature some of the recent announcements, as well as highlighting uncommitted talent. To start things off we'll be focusing on some of the final newcomers. Check out where they made their debuts.    [player_tooltip player_id='2087760' first='Jhett' last='Price'] - Garden City, 6'3”, 230, LB   No. 70 overall is where we'll begin with this report. This spot has been claimed by standout backer [player_tooltip player_id='2087760' first='Jhett' last='Price'] of Garden City. He transferred to the Sunflower State after three years of Oklahoma high school football, and he made an immediate impact for the Buffaloes' defense. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound linebacker recorded 122 total tackles, 16 tackles for loss, and one sack. He possesses the size and skills to be a stud at the collegiate level.    [player_tooltip player_id='2087229' first='Cooper' last='Crawford'] - Piper, 6'7”, 215, TE   Here's yet another example of how rich the tight end position is in the senior class. Crawford of Piper hasn't been talked about nearly enough, but he's another D-I bound TE. The 6-foot-7, 215-pound prospect signed his national letter of intent to attend the University of South Dakota. He joined the rankings at No. 89 overall.   [player_tooltip player_id='2087688' first='Alec' last='Jett'] - St. James Academy, 6'2”, 205, WR   Jett of St. James Academy put everyone on notice with how he played during his senior campaign. During his breakout season he hauled in 56 catches for 1,020 yards and nine touchdowns. His performance earned him All-State honors as well as a selection to the All-Simone Team as one of the top players in the Kansas City metro. Jett entered at No. 93 overall.   [player_tooltip player_id='2087774' first='Tyler' last='Barnes'] - St. Thomas Aquinas, 6'2”, 290, OL   With the rushing attack St. Thomas Aquinas had this past season, it's only right that the big fellas up front get some love. Barnes is the latest Aquinas lineman to join the rankings. The 114th ranked prospect has emerged as a hot target for D-II programs, as he's received offers from Nebraska-Kearney and Washburn.   [player_tooltip player_id='2087236' first='Bennett' last='Vann'] - Gardner-Edgerton, 6'2”, 270 OL   Another offensive lineman that helped pave the way for an elite ground game was Vann of Gardner-Edgerton. He wrapped up his high school career with an impressive season. Vann received 1st Team All-League honors and was named to the All-State team. He checked in at No. 158 overall and is the 21st ranked offensive lineman in the class.    [player_tooltip player_id='2087741' first='Dayne' last='Johnson'] - Silver Lake, 6'3”, 185, WR   Checking in from the 2A ranks is a very underrated wideout. Johnson of Silver Lake was quietly one of the top receivers in the state. Johnson emerged as Silver Lake's top offensive weapon this past fall, as he recorded over 1,000 yards receiving on 75 catches. His debut comes at No. 168 overall.   [player_tooltip player_id='2087240' first='Riyhad' last='Jones'] - Olathe Northwest, 6'3”, 270, DL   The final prospect of this group has the potential of being an absolute gem at the next level. Jones' presence along the defensive line was huge for Olathe Northwest's defense during their State Runner-Up season. He tallied 36 total tackles, two sacks, and two forced fumbles. He checked in at No. 177 overall.
