2026 college football recruiting class rankings: Top 40 schools

The 2025 season is still in its early stages, but the coaching carousel is already spinning, and it has impacted the class rankings. A promising UCLA class lost several commits following the dismissal of DeShaun Foster, and it pushed the Bruins out of the rankings.

The coaching changes have reopened the recruitments for several players within the SC Next 300 player rankings, notably offensive tackles Johnnie Jones (UCLA) and Thomas Wilder (Virginia Tech).

More job changes could come, and more prospects could look elsewhere, so the impact on the rankings is likely far from done.
