2028 RECRUITING: Indiana, Notre Dame, Alabama, Ohio State & More Programs Add Commitments

College football recruiting heats up as elite 2028 prospects like Jett Harrison (Ohio State), LuKas Prock (Indiana), and Darieon Prescott (Notre Dame) make early commitments, signaling a seismic shift in how top programs court future stars. Alabama surges ahead with seven early pledges, while heavyweights like Penn State, Oklahoma, and South Carolina solidifying key positions like quarterback and defensive line. Will programs like Georgia and Clemson adjust their NIL strategies to keep pace with recruiting giants–especially the way Texas A&M is spending NIL–or risk falling behind in the next recruiting cycle? Brian Smith breaks down the ripple effects of the new five-for-five eligibility rule, the growing NIL arms race, and how early teenage talent evaluations are redefining college football’s landscape. Key storylines include Miami’s pursuit of top-10 recruits A’mir Sears and Brysen Wright, the Big 12’s trench recruiting dilemma, and what Notre Dame’s edge-rusher haul means for their defensive future.
