Another early signing period on the recruiting calendar has come and gone, and the majority of the Big Ten’s recruiting classes have officially been signed and locked in for the Class of 2024. And once again, Ohio State continues to find a way to lead the way when it comes to Big Ten football recruiting with the top-class following the early signing window. But an incoming Big Ten member looks primed and ready to give the Buckeyes a run in the recruiting rankings moving forward.
Oregon joined Ohio State in signing a consensus top-1o recruiting class in the early signing period. Penn State continued to hold on to the third-best class according to two of the major recruiting outlets, while Michigan was just behind the Nittany Lions in each and just ahead of them in another.
The last month and a half of recruiting efforts saw big moves up the rankings from Michigan State and Nebraska made a nice splash with a major quarterback flip from Georgia. Another incoming Big Ten member, Washington, fed off the success of their run to the College Football Playoff by moving up in the recruiting rankings as well.
So how do the recruiting classes for the Class of 2024 among all 18 Big Ten members effective next season compare against the rest of the conference and the nation? Let’s take another look now.
All recruiting ranking information is based on the 247Sports composite rankings as of Friday, Dec. 22. The change in the rankings is based on our last look at the recruiting class rankings compiled in November. These rankings include the four incoming Big Ten members — Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington — as they will be in the conference in 2024.
