1 five-star | 8 four-stars | 1 three-star | 10 total recruits
Top Commit: New Haven (Conn.) IMG Academy cornerback Ellis Robinson IV, No. 4 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: Georgia landed its biggest win of the 2024 cycle by getting a commitment from Robinson IV. The Bulldogs now have pledges from five top-50 prospects: Robinson IV, four-star tight end Landen Thomas, four-star safety Peyton Woodyard, four-star linebacker Demarcus Riddick and four-star safety Jaylen Heyward. Robinson IV was Georgia’s second commitment in five days, along with in-state four-star running back Dwight Phillips.

2. Alabama (94.779)
2 five-stars | 2 four-stars | 0 three-stars | 4 total recruits
Top Commit: Pinson (Ala.) Clay-Chalkville athlete Jaylen Mbakwe, No. 10 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: Like its SEC rival, Alabama is off to a fast start in the 2024 cycle with commitments from three top-50 prospects. The Crimson Tide’s group is led by Mbakwe and five-star quarterback Julian Sayin. Four-star-receiver Perry Thompson and four-star linebacker Sterling Dixon are Alabama’s other commits. All four players are ranked in the top 225 of the On3 Industry Ranking. 

3. Ohio State (94.330)
1 five-star | 2 four-stars | 0 three stars | 3 total recruits
Top Commit: Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade-Madonna Prep wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, No. 2 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: At one point, Ohio State had the top class in the 2024 On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. However, that changed once Five-Star Plus+ quarterback Dylan Raiola backed of his pledge to the Buckeyes. But Ohio State’s group is still talented. Smith, a Five-Star Plus+ prospect, is the top wide receiver in the country and four-star interior offensive lineman Ian Moore is a top-two player at his position. Meanwhile, four-star linebacker Garrett Stover is the Buckeyes’ first in-state commit this cycle. 

4. Florida (94.587)
1 five star | 3 four-stars | 0 three-stars | 4 total recruits
Top Commit: Willis (Texas) quarterback DJ Lagway, No. 19 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: Florida notched a win on the recruiting trail when in-state four-star linebacker Adarius Hayes chose the Gators on Jan. 28. He is one of three top-80 recruits committed to Florida, alongside Lagway and four-star linebacker Myles Graham. Meanwhile, four-star running back Chauncey Bowens pledged to head coach Billy Napier and his staff on Sept. 18. 

5. Notre Dame (92.939)
0 five-stars | 6 four-stars | 2 three-stars | 8 total recruits
Top Commit: Glen Ellyn (Ill.) Glenbard South wide receiver Cam Williams, No. 28 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: Notre Dame’s 2024 class started off fast, landing commitments from Williams, four-star quarterback CJ Carr, four-star tight end Jack Larsen and four-star defensive lineman Owen Wafle in May and June. Carr gives the Fighting Irish another quarterback to build around and he will be helped by talent including Williams, Larsen and four-star running back Aneyas Williams. Most recently, three-star cornerback Leonard Moore committed to Notre Dame on Feb. 4. 

6. Florida State (92.867)
0 five-stars | 4 four-stars | 4 three-stars | 9 total recruits
Top Commit: Albany (Ga.) Dougherty running back Kameron Davis, No. 32 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: Davis has been the highest-ranked prospect in Florida State’s class since his commitment to the Seminoles on Feb. 25, 2021. He is one of Florida State’s two top-100 recruits, alongside four-star safety Jordan Pride. Head coach Mike Norvell and his staff have two other pledges ranked in the top 250 of the On3 Industry Ranking in four-star quarterback Luke Kromenhoek and four-star wide receiver Tawaski Abrams, who chose the program on Jan. 26. 

7. South Carolina (92.703)
0 five-stars | 5 four-stars | 0 three-stars | 5 total recruits
Top Commit: Dorchester (S.C.) Woodland offensive tackle Kam Pringle, No. 45 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: Four-star quarterback Dante Reno, who committed to South Carolina on July 2, was the only member of the Gamecocks’ 2024 class for a long time. That has changed over the past few months, as South Carolina landed commitments from Pringle, four-star linebacker Wendell Gregory and four-star tight end Michael Smith over a five-day span, as well as four-star athlete Mazeo Bennett. Pringle and Bennett are two of the top three players in South Carolina.

8. Louisville (92.247)
0 five-stars | 2 four-stars | 0 three-stars | 2 total recruits
Top Commit: Miami (Fla.) Columbus linebacker TJ Capers, No. 26 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: Louisville got a new head coach this offseason in Jeff Brohm, who previously played quarterback for the Cardinals. Despite being on the job for roughly a month, Brohm and his staff were able to reel in a commitment from Capers, the No. 2 linebacker in the country. Four-star running back Isaac Brown, a top-25 player at his position, is the other member of Louisville’s 2024 class. 

9. Tennessee (91.987)
0 five-stars | 4 four-stars | 1 three-star | 5 total recruits
Top Commit: Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy tight end Jonathan Echols, No. 47 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: Tennessee’s class rose into the top 10 following a commitment from four-star wide receiver JJ Harrell on Feb. 27. He is one of three Volunteers pledges ranked in the top 150 of the On3 Industry Ranking, alongside Echols and four-star cornerback Kaleb Beasley. Head coach Josh Heupel and his staff also have commitments from three-star defensive lineman Carson Gentle and four-star safety Marcus Goree, who On3 ranks higher than the rest of the industry.

10. Michigan State (91.583)
0 five-stars | 3 four-stars | 0 three-stars | 3 total recruits
Top Commit: River Rouge (Mich.) wide receiver Nick Marsh, No. 57 in On3 Industry Ranking
Summary: After missing a bowl game during the 2022 season, head coach Mel Tucker and his staff are off to an impressive start in the 2024 cycle. All three of Michigan State’s commitments — Marsh, four-star cornerback Jamari Howard and four-star cornerback Jaylen Thompson — are ranked in the top 325 of the On3 Industry Ranking. Howard is ranked even higher by On3 as the No. 50 overall prospect in the country.
