MY TOP THREE
2026 4⭐ Jaden O’Neal (CA) will visit Florida State for an unofficial visit and attend its camp this weekend, his QB coach Ortege Jenkins tells me. O’Neal is coming off a trip to Colorado this week and will see Miami (June 10-12), Oklahoma (June 12-15), Ohio State (June 16-17), Michigan State (June 18), Michigan (June 19), Auburn (June 22) and Oregon (July 26). Jenkins said Oklahoma, Miami, Auburn, Colorado, Washington and Florida State are the frontrunners with a possible commitment at the end of the summer.
2026 4⭐ Dereon Coleman (FL) is visiting Oklahoma for a camp, his dad tells me. He released a top eight on Thursday that included Oklahoma, UCF, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Illinois, Nebraska, TCU and Arkansas. Coleman is coming off a trip to UCF, and the Sooners are favorites at this point.
2026 4⭐ Landon Duckworth (AL) will visit Alabama on Monday, he tells me. Duckworth committed to South Carolina last August when he became the first QB in the class to commit. This will be his first visit in a while and continues to get outside interest with offers from Oregon, Virginia Tech and Maryland over the last month.

4⭐ Lloyd Jones (TX) will return to Texas Tech for his official visit this weekend, his dad tells me. He committed to the Red Raiders in November and remains locked in despite UCLA, Memphis, UTSA and North Texas continuing to reach out. There are no plans to visit any program outside of Texas Tech.
3⭐ Nolan Keeney (OR) committed to BYU on Thursday but is undecided whether he will serve an LDS mission. He told me he most likely will serve his mission before joining the team in 2027. Keeney held 10 offers at the time of his commitment.
“I loved the feel of the campus. The coaching staff is amazing, and it seemed like the best fit for me playing football and spiritually. I was planning on waiting to commit for a little longer, but BYU was the perfect fit so I didn’t see why I needed to wait.” - Nolan Keeney
3⭐ Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele (HI) is on his official visit to Oregon State, he tells me. He’s coming off an OV with Utah State and will do the same with Boise State on June 13-15.
