RECRUITING: IMG Academy Intel–Nation Farmer, Jayden Wade, Phoenix Evans, Kody Strayhorn & More

IMG Academy's rising stars ignite the national recruiting scene as Jayden Wade commits to Georgia and Elijah Newman-Hall pledges to Ohio State, but can their class of 2028 set a new standard for elite high school football? Brian Smith spotlights a powerhouse roster featuring Nation Farmer, Phoenix Evans, and Kody Strayhorn, with major programs like Alabama, Texas A&M, and Notre Dame vying for generational talent. Smith breaks down IMG's unparalleled depth at wide receiver, offensive line, and defensive line, the national scope of its recruiting battles, and why schools like IMG Academy, Mater Dei, St. John Bosco, and Bergen Catholic are must-recruit programs for schools like Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Georgia, and more. Insightful discussions on NIL, the impact of the Protect College Sports Act, and the strategic pull of powerhouse programs raise key questions: Will IMG’s dominance continue?
