Ackerman (Miss.) Choctaw County five-star wide receiver Caleb Cunningham has college coaches stopping by to see him almost daily right now. He is still adding offers too, but the nation’s No. 11 overall prospect and No. 2 wide receiver in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking is ready to reveal to his first list of favorites.

Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, South Carolina and Tennessee made the list. Cunningham is coming off his first visit to Norman and he has visited each school on his list at least once.

“These are schools that are recruiting me hard and schools I have good relationships with,” Cunningham told On3. “Each has something I like and that is why they made the list.”

Cunningham is in no rush to make his next cut. He is eyeing the summer as to when he will take the next step in the recruiting process.

“I am going to stay patient with everything. It is a little overwhelming at times, so I am taking my time and I could take official visits in the summer and the during the season. I am not really sure yet.

“Right now I am thinking I will make my decision closer to Signing Day in December.”
