As the college football recruiting calendar hurtles toward its biggest few months of the year this summer, we’ve already seen a number of elite prospects make early commitments.
Of the 32 recruits currently ranked as five-stars in the Rivals Industry Ranking, 19 are already pledged to a school with more than seven months until National Signing Day. That number will shift up and down some over the next few months. But it marks another cycle where prospects are getting in earlier than ever before. In the 2026 class, nearly all 32 five-stars were committed by the end of the summer and remained with those schools through signing day.

A handful of schools have gotten off to hot early starts — landing a five-star and in some cases two. But it’s the Texas A&M Aggies all alone with a whopping four commits among the nation’s top 32 players. Mike Elko and Co. have secured the nation’s No. 1 safety Kamarui Dorsey, No. 3 IOL Kennedy Brown, No. 2 EDGE Zyron Forstall and No. 5 CB Raylaun Henry.
The Aggies are currently running away with the No. 1 class, and they’re in contention for even more top targets with the summer official visit season coming.
