2026 team recruiting rankings

[Los Gatos]

I've been holding up on posting anything about 2026 team recruiting. Until a day or two ago, Rivals had not ranked five of our recruits. IMO this made the whole thing rather useless. Now they have ranked all of our recruits. In the latest team ranking UK came in 39th in the nation, 12th in the SEC. Not great but given the state of the program, I'm surprised we are that high. Here is a link to the entire ranking list: https://www.on3.com/rivals/rankings/...football/2026/ This is ranking of high school recruits only.

Interesting that these rankings now include the average NIL payout.

Interesting indeed. However, I suspect, this is Rivals' estimate and not real data. Seems like the only place that would have the real data would be NIL GO. Why would they release it? Wouldn't privacy laws prevent them from doing so?
