1. ATH Lamar Brown — LSU
School: University Lab (La.)
Scouting Summary: The rare prospect with five-star ability on either line of scrimmage. A true jumbo athlete. Measured in at around 6-foot-4, 285 pounds before his senior season. Has a plus length with arms around 34 inches. A mega athlete in the camp setting, posting some of the best testing numbers on the national camp circuit for a lineman. Lines up at right tackle and defensive end for his high school. Elite athleticism and movement skills show up on both sides of the ball. Fires off the snap from his right tackle position.

Has the power to hold his ground and sift through the trash to make plays in the backfield.
… Can close quickly on the quarterback. Touts a strong background as a thrower in track and field, winning an indoor state title in the shot put (56-2.75 feet) and an outdoor gold medal in the discus (151-6 feet) as a junior. Enters his senior season more proven as an offensive lineman than defense on Friday nights. Would be the top interior offensive line prospect in the 2026 cycle if he wanted. Should be considered a high-upside, developmental defensive line prospect who will need to make strides in his overall technique as he gains more experience on that side of the ball.
2. OT Jackson Cantwell — Miami
School: Nixa (Mo.)
Scouting Summary: Big-framed offensive tackle with eye-popping athleticism and functional strength as a high school underclassman. Measured at over 6-foot-7, 305 pounds prior to his sophomore season.

Younger for the cycle with a May birthday.
3. QB Jared Curtis — Georgia
School: Nashville Christian (Tenn.)
Scouting Summary: Elite arm talent with creative playmaking ability. Has a big frame, measuring in at around 6-foot-3.5, 225 pounds with a 9.5-inch hand prior to his junior season. Looks like the top arm talent in the 2026 cycle. Ball explodes off his hand. Generates considerable velocity on throws to all areas of the field. Has a loose, natural throwing motion. Capable of delivering impressive passes from several arm angles. A pure rotational athlete who does not need his feet set to throw accurate passes. Plays with a gunslinging mentality and is not afraid to drive the football into tight windows over the middle of the field. A fluid athlete who is tough to corral in the backfield.
… Dangerous playmaker and improviser. Had some unbelievable second-reaction plays as a junior, evading pass rushers and uncorking throws 50+ yards downfield. Made impressive strides with his accuracy and decision-making as a junior. Completed over 70% of his passes for 2,830 yards (11.1 yards per attempt) for 40 touchdowns and 3 interceptions while leading his team to a state title. Also rushed for 637 yards and 18 scores. Does not play top competition and is older for the cycle. Will need to continue improving his consistency, but the pure arm talent and playmaking ability give him one of the highest upsides in the 2026 cycle.
4. QB Keisean Henderson — Houston
School: Legacy SSS (Texas)
Scout’s Take: “Henderson is the highest senior riser among quarterbacks after making a massive improvement in his on-field play from his junior to senior seasons. A gifted athlete, Henderson has embraced development as a quarterback and went from the least productive Rivals300 signal caller as a junior to the most productive as a senior. The Houston commit lit up scoreboards at Houston Legacy SSS this fall, completing 74.5% of his passes for 3,880 yards and 45 touchdowns against six interceptions, along with 522 rushing yards and 10 more scores.
… His per game averages of 440 total yards and 5.5 touchdowns are the best marks of any Rivals300 quarterback. Henderson’s rise as a senior reminds us some of what we saw from Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell in the 2025 cycle. Most importantly, the film matches the production. Henderson is a toolsy quarterback with a plus arm, aggressive mindset, and improved pocket presence.” — Charles Power, Rivals Director of Scouting and Rankings

Scouting Summary: Accurate passer with the physical traits to make him one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2026 cycle. Measured around 6-foot-3.5, 200 pounds with a 9.25-inch hand before his senior season. Has the frame to add more good weight. Flashes a live arm, particularly in the camp setting, easily generating zip on his passes. Piloted his team to a state title as a junior, completing 77.1% of his passes for 2,814 yards (13.1 YPA) and 35 touchdowns against 2 interceptions. A good athlete with solid speed, running for 625 yards and nine touchdowns as a junior. Does a good job limiting mistakes and avoids putting the ball in harm’s way. Has the skill set to stress defenses with his arm and legs. An effective distributor in operating the quick passing game. Also played basketball.
… Plays in a conservative high school offense that offers few downfield passing opportunities. Will benefit from honing his footwork and lower body mechanics once he works with college coaches. One of the youngest top quarterbacks in the cycle, turning 17 years old in June before his senior season. Will need to continue gaining more useful passing reps, but has early-round upside if developed properly.

School: Louisa County (Va.)
Scouting Summary: Gifted runner with an advanced blend of athleticism, fluidity, and instincts as a high school underclassman.

Stays very low while running the arc, dipping his shoulder to shirk offensive tackles. Converts speed to power with ease. Also shows early signs of good hand usage, quickly disengaging on contact.

… Productive in his first two varsity seasons at Savannah (Ga.) Savannah Christian, totaling 33 tackles for loss while playing alongside Five-Star Plus+ defensive lineman Elijah Griffin.

13. EDGE Richard Wesley — Texas
School: Sierra Canyon (Calif.)
Scouting Summary: Versatile edge defender that wins with power and speed as a pass rusher that possesses advanced hand usage for his age. Verified 6-foot-4.5, 245 pounds with above average length. Impressive athlete in the combine setting as well as on the track running 11.67 in the 100m during his sophomore track and field season.

… Stout run defender that can set the edge and displace blockers at the point of attack. Collected 16 tackles-for-loss and 9 sacks during his sophomore season.

Has the ability to play with his hand in the dirt or stand up off the edge and should excel as a three-down edge defender at the next level.

School: Lake Ridge (Texas)
Scouting Summary: Developmental offensive tackle with the frame, length, and physicality to develop into a top prospect at the position. Measured in at around 6-foot-6, 275 pounds with plus length before his senior season. Has a lean, long frame and should be able to add considerable mass once in a college strength program.

… Flashes dominance as a run blocker. Play strength, length, and solid athleticism point to upside in pass protection. Showed considerable growth in his game from his sophomore to junior seasons. Will need to improve his lower body flexibility as he can play high and displays some hip stiffness, which shows up against fellow blue-chip prospects in the camp setting. Green in his pass blocking technique. The youngest top offensive tackle prospect in the cycle, turning 18 years old in July before his freshman season of college football.
15. OT Immanuel Iheanacho — Oregon
School: Georgetown Prep (Md.)
Scouting Summary: Mountain of an offensive tackle prospect. Has truly rare dimensions for a young offensive tackle. Checked in at nearly 6-foot-7, 350 pounds with startlingly 36-inch long arms and big hands prior to his junior season. Shows good flexibility and functional movement skills at his immense size. Owns one of the more powerful punches we’ve seen among offensive tackle prospects in the past few cycles. Absolutely stones defensive linemen at the point of attack. Length, hand strength, and girth create a nearly unmovable anchor.
… Played on the defensive line early in his high school career, showing off some nice athleticism. Also has a basketball background. Turned in a strong showing at the Under Armour All-America Game before his senior season. Gained nearly 40 pounds as a junior, weighing in at over 380 pounds on official visits.

School: Reidsville (N.C.)
Scouting Summary: Freakish two-sport athlete who is one of the most physically imposing prospects in the nation, regardless of class. A true ‘first off the bus’ type. Listed at 6-foot-7, 230 pounds.

18. RB Ezavier Crowell — Alabama
School: Jackson (Ala.)
Scouting Summary: Three-down dynamo of a running back with impressive production combined with top-tier athletic ability and wiggle to win between the tackles and in space. Verified 5-foot-11, 210 pounds with excellent weight distribution. Has excellent top-end speed for the position running personal bests of 10.73 in the 100m and 22.38 in the 200m. Phenomenal wiggle and acceleration when he sticks his foot in the ground. Has the ability to hit the home run every time he touches the ball. Violent runner between the tackles and rubs with excellent pad level.
… Averaged nearly 12 yards per carry on 168 carries for 1,964 yards and 31 touchdowns. Reclassified to his proper age group from the 2027 cycle to the 2026 cycle. Want to see more from him as a pass catcher and in pass protection but looks comfortable catching the ball in the flat and plays with a tough mindset. A threat to score every time he touches the football at the next level due to top-tier athletic ability and vision and can win in short-yardage scenarios with his leg drive and tenacity.
19. LB Tyler Atkinson — Texas
School: Grayson (Ga.)
Scouting Summary: Dominant high school linebacker who plays with outstanding instincts and physicality. Measured at around 6-foot-2, 210 pounds with arms a shade over 31 inches. A star linebacker playing at a powerhouse program in Georgia’s highest classification. Flies around the field like a man possessed. Wins with his elite motor and willingness to throw his body around. Sees plays quickly and triggers downhill in a split second.
… At his best when he has the runway to see and pursue the football. Plays with an enforcer’s edge. Finished his junior season with 166 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 13 sacks, and one interception in 15 games. Measurables, both dimensions and combine testing, are not those of a typical elite linebacker prospect. Will need to get bigger and stronger to hold up at the point of attack against college linemen. A high-floor prospect due to his instincts and track record against top competition.
20. LB Xavier Griffin — Alabama
School: Gainesville (Ga.)
Analyst’s Take: “I think his No. 1 strength is getting after the quarterback. I’ve seen him numerous times in different events, settings, games, practices, and camps. That acceleration, ability to turn up the field and get to the quarterback is what he does best. I’ve seen him line up in the middle, the edge, hand down, and standing up. He’s a very good athlete, a twitchy kid who can move and be explosive. I think he needs to continue to get stronger and develop that strength and power part of his game. He is going to get to the quarterback and get him to the ground. To me that’s where at his best. He’s rangy and think he has a good frame to add weight and strength. A lot of upside there for a guy like Xavier coming off the edge. He can also move around, put him in different positions, and be more effective in a defensive scheme.” – Rivals’ Chad Simmons
21. S Jireh Edwards — Alabama
School: St. Frances Academy (Md.)
Scout’s Take: “We feel like Jireh Edwards is really one of the more high-floor, ready-made prospects at safety in this cycle. He is hyper-physical, and really showed out against top competition playing one of the toughest schedules in the country at St. Frances. And he’s just kind of a grown man. He’s older for the cycle and is already pretty physically mature. So there are questions as to the ultimate long-term upside. But in terms of a safety who could come in and earn significant snaps as a freshman, he’s one of the guys in this cycle who could do that.” — Charles Power, Rivals Director of Scouting and Rankings
22. S Jett Washington — Oregon
School: Bishop Gorman (Nev.)
About: The nephew of the late great Kobe Bryant, Washington was trending toward Oregon for some time before he came off the board on June 19. The likes of Alabama and USC were also heavily in the mix for the 6-foot-4.5, 200-pounder, but no program pushed for the five-star quite like Dan Lanning and the Ducks. He’s one of five five-stars committed to the Big Ten program to date.
23. TE Mark Bowman — USC
School: Mater Dei (Calif.)
Scouting Summary: Technical pass-catcher who is one of the best route-running tight end prospects we’ve seen in recent years. Measured in at 6-foot-4, 235 pounds with 31.75-inch arms and 9.75-inch hands before his senior season. Has elite quickness, which he uses to separate off the line of scrimmage and within his routes. Able to snap off defenders at will. Has very reliable hands and consistently finishes at the catch point. Quickness and speed allow for the ability to pick up big yardage after the catch. The type of tight end who can be a movable weapon within an offense’s passing game.
… Backs up the skill set he shows on Friday nights, with dominant showings on the 7-on-7 circuit and in camps. Punches well above his weight as a blocker and is a strong, physical presence in the run game. Finished the 2024 season with 32 catches for 435 yards and eight touchdowns in 15 games. Reclassified back into the 2026 cycle before his final year of high school football. Has less varsity experience and production than some of his highly-rated peers and a less robust multi-sport profile. Has the potential to develop into a high-volume target and early-round draft pick.
24. DL Richard Anderson — LSU
School: Edna Karr (La.)
Scouting Summary: Explosive interior defensive lineman with immense power and ability to two-gap in the middle of the defensive front. Verified size at 6-foot-3.5, 355 pounds with over 33-inch arms and carries the weight very well. Great burst off the line of scrimmage for his size. Plays with excellent pad level and vision into the backfield. Understands leverage and sheds blocks with ease.
… Totaled 15 tackles-for-loss as a junior along with 10 sacks. Will need to to maintain quality combination of size and movement skills as he continues to physically develop. Older for the cycle. Projects as a space-eating, two-gap nose tackle at the next level but has the athletic ability to one-gap if needed.
25. OT Kodi Greene — Washington
School: Mater Dei (Calif.)
Scouting Summary: Nimble offensive tackle who brings a translatable skill set with size and projectable movement skills. Measured around 6-foot-6, and north of 300 pounds before his senior season. Touts average to solid length for his height. Transferred to SoCal powerhouse Mater Dei for his junior season, primarily lining up at right tackle for the Monarchs. A high-level mover. Fluid and balanced. Works to the second level effortlessly.
… Dangerous as a puller. Shows good pop in his hands and plays with encouraging power. Has a solid understanding of body positioning, walling off defensive linemen. More advanced as a run blocker, but has the skill set to develop into a reliable pass protector over time. Battle-tested and fared well against top competition as a junior. Can continue to improve his hand placement and overall technique.
26. CB Khary Adams — Notre Dame
School: Loyola Blakefield (Md.)
Scouting Summary: Toolsy corner prospect with the size, athleticism, and ball skills to develop into a top cover man. Measured in at over 6-foot-1 and around 180 pounds before his senior season. Has quality length with 31.5-inch arms and big hands that measure over 10 inches. A strong athlete in the combine setting and a talented sprinter. Ran a personal best of 10.70 seconds in the 100 meters as a junior. Won the state title in the 200 meters with a 21.83-second mark as a sophomore. Lines up as a corner and wide receiver at his high school. A long strider with a natural gait. Shows the ability to run with receivers on vertical routes and has make-up speed when he finds himself out of phase.
… Experience as a receiver helps with his ball skills as a defensive back. Shows the ability to adjust to the football and make plays in-air. Finished his junior season with three interceptions and 34 catches for 562 yards and six touchdowns. Lacks technical polish in coverage and shows some rigidity in his change of direction and short area quickness. Will need to continue honing the technical side of his game, but has a high upside as an outside corner.
27. WR Jalen Lott — Oregon
School: Panther Creek (Texas)
Scout’s Take: “One of the most explosive athletes in the entire class, Jalen Lott has proven as a senior that he’s one of the most dynamic pass catchers in the cycle. The Oregon commit stands in at 6 feet, 170-plus pounds, Lott has absurd athletic ability. A former National Junior Olympian, Lott has personal bests of 6-foot-10 in the high jump, nearly 24-foot-4 in the long jump and 10.99 in the 100m. You see the track and field athleticism shine on the football field in his route running and with the ball in his hands.
… Lott’s explosiveness and change of direction is electric. He separates from defenders at every level of the field and has the ability to go up and attack the football as good as anyone in the country. He needs to continue his polish as a route runner, but with his strong hands and top-tier athletic ability Lott’s ceiling is borderline unlimited.” – Cody Bellaire, Rivals National Scout
28. TE Ian Premer — Notre Dame
School: Great Bend (Kan.)
Scouting Summary: One of the most dynamic athletes in the country on Friday nights excelling at multiple positions on both sides of the ball. Verified 6-foot-4.5, 230 pounds with quality length. High-flying dunker on the basketball court that averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds per game as a junior. Tremendous with the ball in his hands after the catch, physical runner and elusive in space. Fluid route-runner that can separate at every level of the field.
… Caught 30 passes for 541 yards and 8 touchdowns as a junior. Also carried the ball 37 times for 260 yards and 2 touchdowns while collecting 50 tackles and 3 interceptions on defense. Projects to tight end at the next level and will thrive as a split-out option who can win vertically in the passing game that is a willing blocker in the run game.
29. CB Brandon Arrington — Texas A&M
School: Mount Miguel (Calif.)
Scouting Summary: Elite athleticism at the corner position with impressive mirror ability for a taller, longer corner prospect. One of the strongest track profiles in the country. Ran a blistering 10.21 in the 100m and a 20.35 in the 200m during his junior track season. Can run with any receiver lined up across from him. Has the length and ball skills to attack the football and play through the receiver’s hands in order to separate them from the ball.
… Would like to see him gain some mass throughout his frame and become more confident in run support. Boundary corner projection due to his size and speed. Has the length and athleticism to line up against virtually any receiver type at the next level.
30. TE Kaiden Prothro — Georgia
School: Bowdon (Ga.)
About: Prothro is a quarterback’s dream, standing in at 6’6 with exceptional leaping ability and soft hands. He was a top performer earlier this month at Under Armour’s camp in Atlanta, and is also a standout baseball and basketball player. He burst onto the football scene last fall with 1,203 yards and 21 touchdowns on 56 receptions for Bowdon.
This fall, he has been a matchup nightmare again for Peach State defenses. Through 11 games, he has 45 catches for 864 yards (19.2 YPC) and 21 touchdowns.
31. S Joey O’Brien — Notre Dame
School: La Salle (Pa.)
Scouting Summary: Tall safety with elite instincts and ball skills. Measured at 6-foot-4, 180 pounds with 32.5-inch arms and 9.75-inch hands at Rivals Five-Star before his senior season. A two-way star at the high school level, showing his playmaking ability as a safety and wide receiver. One of the more dominant players we’ve seen on the 7-on-7 circuit over the years. Has elite coverage instincts. Seems to see routes before they develop. Jumps passes and comes down with remarkable interceptions. An absolute menace when defending intermediate routes over the middle of the field. Has sticky hands, making him a walking turnover. Smart player who understands how defenses work. Showing encouraging physicality as a senior. Doubles as a good high school basketball player. Lacks recent verified speed, but showed good play speed in man coverage against top wide receivers on the camp circuit. Will benefit from time in a college strength program, as he will need to add mass and strength. Playmaking ability and instincts make him one of the top safeties in a deep cycle at the position.
32. EDGE Anthony Jones – Oregon
School: St. Paul’s Episcopal (Ala.)
Scouting Summary: Powerful, physical EDGE prospect who wins with brute strength and high effort. Measured in at around 6-foot-2.5, 245 pounds with 33.25-inch arms before his senior season. Initially began his career as a linebacker before growing into an EDGE prospect. A productive defender who plays with his hair on fire. Very powerful. Converts speed to power, showing the ability to walk offensive tackles into the backfield. Has a dangerous long arm. Makes hustle plays, running down defenders in backside pursuit. A strong finisher behind the line of scrimmage. Also sees time on offense as a tight end and short-yardage ball-carrier. State champion in the shot put (58-4.5 feet) and discus (161-5 feet) as a junior. Does not possess some of the overwhelming physical traits or elite athleticism of some of his highly rated peers. A high-floor prospect who should enter college with a level of physical development that could have him primed for an early contribution.
