Performances in Week 4 games have once again shaken up the rankings for the nation’s best college football players in 2022.

Following the latest games, the On3 Impact 300 has been re-analyzed and re-ranked to provide the best picture of the top players across the country. The On3 Impact 300 rankings also factor into the calculations for the On3 NIL Valuation.

The rankings after Week 4 games include a new No. 1. Ohio State quarterback CJ Stroud made the jump from No. 7 to No. 1 overall after his second straight week with a five-touchdown performance. He went 17 for 27 with 281 yards, five touchdowns and an interception on Saturday in the decisive win over Wisconsin.
