2027 Master List

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Early 27 vs. 26 positional review (if we sign everyone in the class and add the recent HOT recruits)


Two-year cumulative:
OL 27: Olu - 98, Halter - 94, Flanigan - 89, J. Hill - 88, (Simien - 98)
OL 26: McKeogh - 93, Thom - 92, Merrill - 91, Garvin - 88, Nichols - 94, Patrick - 91
Winner: 27 due to high-end but volume of 26 gives more shots at a hit

LB 27: (Henderson - 99), (Igwebuike - 94)
LB 26: Davis Jr - 90, Clapper - 89
Winner: 27 due to star power

Edge 27: O'Neil - 93, Vaughn - 92, (Sesay - 98)
Edge 26: Dunham - 98, Ewatade - 93
Winner: 27 due to volume but the 2 from 26 already appear to be hits, should they be weighted more heavily for early returns? I've never seen edge recruiting like this.

NT/DT (DL) 27: Folorunsho - 94, (Parks - 93)
NT/DT (DL) 26: Golden - 92, Hola - 88, (Gray - 94),
Winner: If you include the transfer Gray, then it seems like a wash. Anyone care to break the tie?

RB 27: Whisenton - 90, Rogers - 90
RB 26: Walton - 93, Osborne - 92
Winner: 26 because I love both of the RBs. Whisenton is my favorite RB since Love

WR 27: Coleman - 87, (Jones - 97)
WR 26: Fitzgerald - 92, Finley - 91, Frazier - 90, Robinson - 90, Faison - 88, (Graham - 91), (Porter - 94)
Winner: 26 due to volume and early returns. Fitzgerald and Frazier are already turning heads. Porter and Graham further weight this one towards 26.

QB 27: Monds - 88
QB 26: Grubbs - 88, Jerrard - 89
Winner: TBD although 2 vs 1 means we're likely to find at least one hit between the 2 from 26, so slight edge to them even though Monds is a 5-tooler?

CB 27: Hasan - 94, Alston 93
CB 26: Adams - 97, Pouncey - 96, Smith - 91, Reddish - 88, (Sanders - 92)
Winner: 26 due to volume and high end. Incredible 2 year haul

S 27: Gamble - 92, Gay - 87
S 26: O'Brien - 97
Winner: 26 because I need to see more from Gay. It feels like I'm comparing Gamble to O'Brien so early favor tilts towards JOB but I love Gamble.

TE 27: Hawk - 90
TE 26: Fryzel - 88, Premer - 98
Winner: 26 because Premer. Everyone expects him to emerge this season. Love the 2 year combined haul.

You forgot Brewu in '26, I think that breaks the tie.

I wouldn't count Gray because he played so it isn't apple to apples. Hola is the lowest ranked player of them all so I would say 27. All things considered, just a ridiculous amount of talent being brought in.

Alright so I just looked into this because I could’ve sworn that the 2026 recruiting class was #2 in the country only behind USC. On both 247 and on3, Premer has disappeared from our 2026 recruiting class (bringing it down to 5 on 247, still 2 on on3.) Does anybody know why that is?

24/7 splits up Early Enrollees with Non-Early Enrollees for whatever reason.

Who all is visiting ND this week/weekend? I'm pretty sure it was posted somewhere on this site but can't find it now.
