Another week has passed, and another group of high school football prospects has decided where the next stage of their career is going to be. Just like last week, this week’s top college football recruits and their commitments are better than the previous week’s. The SEC, led by Georgia, LSU, and Texas A&M, was able to pick up a lot of these top tier prospects. Every player that made it into the top ten was at least a four-star at this moment, as well. All recruiting rankings for individual players are based on the 247Sports Composite.
Top College Football Recruits: 10/29-11/4
Honorable Mentions
Every week, there are a few players that are “on the bubble” of making our weekly top college football recruits list in terms of these rankings. This week, there were six such players. The #33 athlete and 466th ranked player in the nation, Trenton Adkins, committed to Toledo. Jayden Keller, the 46th ranked athlete, and 685th overall player committed to Virginia Tech. Texas A&M picked up a commitment from Amari Daniels, the #6 all-purpose back and 352nd overall player in the nation. The LSU Tigers were able to land Jack Bech, who is ranked as the 478th overall player and 72nd wide receiver. Vanderbilt got a commitment from the 79th ranked wide receiver and 496th overall player, Quincy Skinner Jr. In the class of 2022, Cincinnati was able to add #50 wide receiver and 331st overall Randy Master.
10. Yulkeith Brown, Athlete, Texas A&M
The Miami, Florida, native is the 20th ranked athlete and 298th ranked overall player in the class of 2021 and the 10th ranked prospect on our weekly top college football recruits list. Brown has been a weapon all over the field on offense, taking snaps at wide receiver and running back, as well as playing cornerback on the other side of the ball. He is fast, even for a wide receiver. Brown’s hands are absolutely stellar, and he seems to be able to catch anything in his general vicinity. As a skill player from Miami, you would expect Brown to have a good bit of swagger in his game. That is an understatement. This could be a good or bad thing depending on who you ask, but adding that sort of spark plug with the ability to back it up is a huge pick up for the Aggies.
9. CJ Brown, Athlete, Oklahoma State
This time, the list heads to the class of 2022 for one of five prospects from that class to make this week’s top ten. Brown is currently ranked as the 17th athlete and 290th overall player in next year’s class. Like most athletes, Brown played on both sides of the ball, taking snaps at running back and cornerback. He is really good at making people miss. His speed is good, but nothing that is going to blow anyone away. However, he seems to give defenders a lot of issues once he gets going. Brown almost never chooses to go through the defender, but almost always finds a way to go around or over the defender on his way to a big gain. He will likely play running back once he gets to Stillwater and could make some big plays for the Cowboys.
8. Benji Gosnell, Tight End, Ohio State
Staying in the class of 2022, we head back east to Pilot Mountain, North Carolina to take a look at Gosnell. Gosnell is the 11th ranked tight end 265th overall player in next year’s class as well as the eighth-ranked prospect on this week’s top college football recruits list. The tight end made the decision to continue his football career in Columbus with the Buckeyes. At six-foot-four and 225 pounds, Gosnell has a good bit of size to make himself a big target. In high school, that size made him a major threat on both sides of the ball. In college, that size won’t be quite as dominant, but it is still enough, especially when paired with the fantastic hands that Gosnell possesses.
7. Aaron Armitage, Defensive End, Stanford
Back in this year’s class of 2021, the #7 entry on this week’s list is a defensive end from the state of New Jersey. The new Stanford commit is the #15 defensive end and #198 overall player in this year’s class. Armitage is six-foot-four giving him the height and reach to make plays at the line of scrimmage. He is also weighing in just north of 240 pounds giving him a good bit of strength, but he moves more like someone who weighs between 200 and 220. Armitage uses a lot of finesse moves to get into the backfield, which is really impressive for someone his size. He has the potential to put it all together for the Cardinals and become a standout player.
6. Anthony Ivey, WR, Penn State
Heading back to the 2022 class, Lancaster, Pennsylvania native, Anthony Ivey, made the decision to stay in his home state and become a Nittany Lion. Ivey is the 20th ranked receiver and 174th overall player in the nation in next year’s class. Ivey is certainly what would be considered a speedster. On most plays, he runs a deeper route and is able to take the top off of the defense. There are not going to be a lot of defenses in the Big Ten that are going to be able to stop Ivey from burning them. In addition to his great offensive abilities, Ivey is a return specialist and has been able to return a handful of kickoffs for touchdowns.
5. Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Defensive Tackle, Georgia
The six-foot-five, nearly 300-pound defensive tackle from Gaffney, South Carolina made the decision to head to Athens next season and play for the Bulldogs. Ingram-Dawkins is the 14th ranked defensive tackle and 178th overall player in the 2021 class. The recent commit is a very large man on the football field and has a lot of reach. He is going to present issues for any lineman who has to try and block him. His combination of power and speed make him a major threat.
4. Collin Sadler, Offensive Tackle, Clemson
With the same measurable as Ingram-Dawkins, Sadler is going to be able to help protect whoever the Clemson Tigers decide to put at quarterback in the coming years, Sadler is the 16th ranked offensive tackle in the class of 2022 and the 144th overall player next year. His size is a huge asset to him. He is very strong and has the football IQ to be able to see where the pressure is coming from and pick it up.
3. Billy Bowman, Athlete, Oklahoma
Once again bouncing back to 2021, Billy Bowman is the 33rd overall player in this upcoming freshman class. Bowman primarily took snaps as a wide receiver and that is where he is most likely to play once he heads to Norman. The receiver is shifty for sure. Easily, the best way to describe Bowman is as a human joystick. He changes direction with such ease and presents major issues for any defense that tries to match up with him. Bowman could be a major contributor for the Sooners.
2. Sage Ryan, Safety, LSU
The LSU Tigers have a history of great safeties. Sage Ryan is going to add to that legacy. He is currently the 28th overall player and the top safety in this year’s class. The safety is also the first of two five-star prospects to commit this week. Ryan is very, very fast. He has good hands as he played a lot of receiver in high school, as well. He is also a very hard hitter. Ryan is able to lay a huge hit on any offensive player who gets in his way. He looks like he is going to be a player who is going to be playing on Sundays one day. His performances and abilities are that good in high school.
1. Deyon Bouie, Athlete, Georgia
This week’s top college football recruits list closes out with another class of 2022 prospect. Bouie is extremely talented. He is the 22nd overall player in 2022 and the second rated athlete in the class. Bouie has taken snaps all over the field at wide receiver, quarterback, and cornerback. It would seem likely that he will probably play cornerback once he gets to Athens. He is quick, versatile, has good hands, and never gives up on the play. Bouie is going to be the type of player for Georgia who is going to be a matchup nightmare whether they put him at cornerback or wide receiver.
