This past weekend was likely the last that’ll feature myriad blue-chip commitments this summer. Heading into football season, there’s not much top talent left on the board in the 2026 cycle.
As of Monday, Aug. 4, just 14 of the 400 blue-chip prospects in the class — per the Rivals Industry Ranking — remain uncommitted. That does include a trio of five-stars and six top-100 recruits overall.
