Top Recruits Announce Commitments This Week in College Football

ALEXANDER CITY, Ala. — Benjamin Russell High School’s five-star wide receiver is set to announce his college commitment this Wednesday at noon CT. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound athlete is a standout in the 2026 recruiting class and garnered attention from major college programs.

He is down to six teams in his recruitment, which include top-ranked schools in college football. As the senior season wraps up, excitement builds around his decision and the impact it could have on his future.

Across the country, Phoenix Brophy Prep’s wide receiver will also make his decision soon. His commitment is expected on the same stage alongside his family. He holds a final four of elite programs, showcasing his talent after an impressive showing this past weekend in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

In Sarasota, Florida, Cardinal Mooney’s Top247 defensive lineman Elijah Golden has announced he will reveal his choice on July 26 at 3:30 p.m. ET. The 6-foot-4, 275-pound star is among the most sought-after recruits in the nation, with schools like Alabama, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, and Virginia Tech in the mix.

From Buford, Georgia, five-star defensive lineman Perry-Wright is preparing for his announcement scheduled for Saturday at 5 p.m. ET. He faces a competitive field as he evaluates schools – all of which are major football powerhouses.

As summer camps draw near, these young athletes remain in the spotlight with fans eager to support their future choices. With fall camp approaching, all eyes will be on Florida’s roster as the team prepares for the 2025 season following an 8-5 finish last year.

Among the key players, junior linebacker Grayson Howard stands out. The Jacksonville native joined Florida after a year at South Carolina and has made significant strides in his performance. Recognized as the No. 9 linebacker by 247Sports, Howard is set for an impactful year if he can stay healthy. Coach Billy Napier will rely on him for leadership on defense.

Howard’s impressive statistics from last season, including 37 tackles and multiple key defensive plays, highlight his capabilities and importance to the Gators going forward. The upcoming season holds high expectations, with hopes for a solid defensive performance following the season’s ups and downs.
