How we track the next class
National prospect cards show the top five from the Rivals individual ranking for the class of 2027, with the ranking date and source linked. Rankings from different services may differ.
Coverage follows college destinations and regional hometown connections. Every update links to the report behind it. Publication dates describe the source report; they are not always the date of the recruiting decision.
This is a dated edition. An offer, visit, prediction, verbal commitment and confirmed signing are different steps. Only confirmed signing reports receive a Signed label.
