2025 Recruit Football Team Rankings

[Hardline]

Texas will consistently get top recruiting classes now that they moved to the SEC. The top Texas high school talent will mostly stay in Texas now.

Texas always got a lot of talent. Just could not find the coach to get it done.

Funny thing is that this matters less. The game is now portal recruitment. If you are a big boy team, you go sign veterans who can help today. Schools are going to care less and less about freshman.

No, the top talent will still come from recruiting. Portals will be used to fill holes and upgrade positions.

I hope so. The system is still evolving. Programs are hiring GMs now to manage all the recruiting and player contracts. We just saw Colorado turn over 80% of their team in one off season which was excessive but proves that you don't have to rely on freshman recruiting anymore.

It all equals parity.
Teams aren't keeping high quality depth that can start elsewhere anymore.
The SEC is losing depth like crazy to the portal and as a result their teams aren't as good.

Good HS recruiting will land you more chances to hit on guys but with a 105 roster limit less freshmen are factoring in.
I was shocked that some helmet schools took 30 HS freshmen this year. Basically 1/3 of your roster being year 1 guys is not a recipe for success.

I'd MUCH rather be local kid Ashton Jeanty starring at Boise St than being a 3rd string RB for Clemson or Bama.
