Top offensive commit: QB Carlos Del Rio (No. 57)
Top defensive commit: CB Jason Marshall (No. 42)

8. Notre Dame Fighting Irish
ESPN 300 commits: 9 | Previous ranking: 8
Top offensive commit: QB Tyler Buchner (No. 39)
Top defensive commit: DT Gabriel Rubio (No. 161)

9. Miami Hurricanes
ESPN 300 commits: 9 | Previous ranking: 10
Top offensive commit: QB Jake Garcia (No. 18)
Top defensive commit: DT Leonard Taylor (No. 6)

10. North Carolina Tar Heels
ESPN 300 commits: 10 | Previous ranking: 9
Top offensive commit: QB Drake Maye (No. 45)
Top defensive commit: DE Keeshawn Silver (No. 8)

...

15. Wisconsin Badgers
ESPN 300 commits: 6 | Previous ranking: 16
Top offensive commit: OT Nolan Rucci (No. 33)
Top defensive commit: DE T.J. Bollers (No. 201)

...

17. Michigan Wolverines
ESPN 300 commits: 8 | Previous ranking: 15
Top offensive commit: QB J.J. McCarthy (No. 23)
Top defensive commit: LB Branden Jennings (No. 67)

...

18. Maryland Terrapins
ESPN 300 commits: 4 | Previous ranking: 18
Top offensive commit: WR Tai Felton (three stars)
Top defensive commit: OLB Demeioun Robinson (No. 35)







23. Minnesota Golden Gophers

ESPN 300 commits: 2 | Previous ranking: 23

Top offensive commit: QB Athan Kaliakmanis (No. 267)
Top defensive commit: CB Avante Dickerson (No. 47)

A fast start for the Gophers has slowed, but a solid class in the top 30 remains, headlined by ESPN 300 QB Athan Kaliakmanis and No. 3-ranked CB Avante Dickerson. Another four-star DB in the fold is Steven Ortiz out of Arizona. Three-star RB Mar'Keise Irving was a nice grab out of Illinois. Three-star WR Brady Boyd catches lasers at Southlake Carroll from the No. 1 prospect in the country in 2022, Quinn Ewers. Long arms on the offensive line are on the way in the form of three-stars Logan Purcell, Austin Barber and Cameron James. The same can be said at DE with three-stars Austin Booker and Deven Eastern. Three-star DT Jacob Schuster, who was a very nice pickup out of Washington, can be a powerful and violent presence in the trenches.


Too much to paste it all, but there are the highlights.

Did Dickerson sign with us? I thought he was up in the air still. Still a good class regardless.
