Big Ten Dominates Recruiting: USC Leads Pack

The Big Ten conference is currently leading college football recruiting, with USC, Oregon, and Ohio State all securing top-five classes. Oregon, in particular, has demonstrated a national reach, successfully recruiting top talent from SEC territories. USC is on track to achieve its first No. 1 recruiting class since 2006 under head coach Lincoln Riley.

While most top prospects signed in December, several intriguing uncommitted players remain, including four-star defensive lineman Dylan Berymon, who is considering Kentucky and Nebraska. Four-star running back Brandon Smith, after being released from Arizona, committed to Oregon. Quarterback Teddy Jarrard has reclassified to 2026 and is expected to sign with Notre Dame.
