The excitement surrounding the 2025 football recruiting class is almost at its peak. With National Signing Day just around the corner, On3 has rolled out its final On300 rankings. Let’s dive into how these teams stack up and why it matters.
Texas — 94.433
Texas is on fire! They’ve snagged the top spot in the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings with a stellar lineup. Jonah Williams, a five-star safety from Galveston, leads this powerhouse group. Texas’ defense is looking rock-solid with talents like Justus Terry, Lance Jackson, and Kade Phillips. On offense, they’ve got wide receivers like Kaliq Lockett and running back James Simon, who’s one of Louisiana’s finest. It’s no wonder they’re sitting pretty at number one.
Georgia — 93.812
Georgia isn’t far behind, boasting a line-up that any team would envy. Their defensive line, led by Elijah Griffin and Isaiah Gibson, is something to behold. And with quarterbacks like Ryan Montgomery and Hezekiah Millender, Georgia’s offense is also in good hands. Wide receiver Talyn Taylor is ready to catch some serious passes this season.
Alabama — 93.578
Alabama made waves by flipping Keelon Russell from SMU. This five-star quarterback will be well-protected by a top-notch offensive line. They’re not short on weapons either, with Akylin Dear in the backfield and a slew of talented receivers. The defense, featuring stars like Dijon Lee and Justin Hill, is equally formidable.
Oregon — 93.358
Oregon pulled off a major coup by convincing Na’eem Offord to switch from Ohio State. This move bolstered their already strong secondary. Offensively, they landed Dakorien Moore, a five-star receiver who decommitted from LSU. Though there was a shake-up at quarterback, Oregon’s future looks bright with new additions along the line.
Ohio State — 93.207
Ohio State managed to keep Tavien St. Clair, a top quarterback, close to home. Alongside him, they’ve signed standout players like receiver Quincy Porter and tackle Carter Lowe. Their defensive recruits, including cornerback Devin Sanchez, make this a class to watch.
Texas A&M — 92.552
Texas A&M scored big with Jerome Myles, who flipped from USC. He’s one of two five-stars joining the Aggies, making them a standout in this cycle. They also picked up quarterback Brady Hart, who reclassified to 2025, adding depth to their offense.
Auburn — 92.512
Auburn flipped quarterback Deuce Knight from Notre Dame, strengthening their lineup. Their class is defensively heavy, but with running back Alvin Henderson and tackle Broderick Shull, their offense has potential too.
LSU — 92.452
LSU may have lost Bryce Underwood, but they held onto cornerback DJ Pickett, keeping their class competitive. They also flipped offensive lineman Solomon Thomas from Florida State, adding to their strength.
Michigan — 92.402
The biggest shocker? Bryce Underwood choosing Michigan over LSU. He’s joined by tackle Andrew Babalola, ensuring a solid front for the Wolverines. Defensive pickups like linebacker Nathaniel Owusu-Boateng add to their impressive class.
Tennessee — 92.151
Tennessee’s highlight is David Sanders Jr., the top offensive tackle in the class. They’ve got quarterback George MacIntyre ready to take snaps, with a supporting cast of talented wideouts and defensive linemen.
Florida — 92.016
Florida had a late surge, bringing in 13 recruits in just a few weeks. Quarterback Tramell Jones leads the charge, supported by receivers like Vernell Brown III. Their secondary recruits are particularly noteworthy.
