4-Star IOL Max Riley Commits to Ohio State

4-star IOL Max Riley committed to Ohio State yesterday over his other finalist program, Clemson. Riley was also offered by dozens of other programs.

Riley, an Ohio kid, shared on Twitter that playing for Ohio State was always a dream of his as a kid.

On3 is the lowest on Riley, who rate him as a 3-star. All of the other major recruiting services not only rate Riley as a 4-star, but rank him in the Top 95 nationally. The On3 industry composite ranks Riley 133rd nationally and 8th at the IOL position designation, though.

For Ohio State, this is the 4th Blue Chip commitment and 5th commitment total. The Buckeyes’ class currently ranks 6th nationally and 3rd in the Big Ten, behind only USC and and Oregon.

Consensus 4-Star DL Bott Multitalo Decommits from Oregon

Consensus 4-star DL Bott Multitalo has decommitted from Oregon, according to 247Sports’ Blair Angulo, after originally committing back on December 1st.

Multitalo originally committed to Oregon over USC, Arizona, Washington, Utah, Texas A&M, and other programs.

Even though he was committed to the Ducks, other schools have been heavily recruiting him, including USC, where he locked in an official visit for the weekend of June 6th.

Multitalo ranks as high as 89th nationally (247) and 6th at his position designation (ESPN), but the On3 industry composite ranks him 142nd nationally and 12th at the DL position.

While this is a loss for Oregon, the Ducks still have 7 Blue Chip commitments and 9 total commitments fairly early in the recruiting cycle, still. With the loss, the Ducks now fall to the 2nd ranked recruiting class nationally and in the Big Ten, according to On3, falling behind USC.

4-Star IOL Chancellor Barclay Commits to Clemson

4-star IOL Chancellor Barclay committed to Clemson recently, choosing Clemson over Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, and plenty of other programs.

Barclay has had face time with the Clemson staff or been on campus on a couple of occasions, but this most recent recruiting weekend on campus must have really sealed the deal for Barclay, committing at the end of that weekend.

Barclay ranks as high as 83rd nationally (Rivals), but the On3 industry composite ranks him 234th nationally and 17th at the IOL position designation.

Clemson has all the momentum on the recruiting trail, as Barclay is the 6th Blue Chip commitment and part of a class of 11 commitments, currently, for a class which ranks 7th nationally and 1st in the ACC.

3-Star ATH Amarion Jackson Commits to Iowa State

3-star ATH Amarion Jackson committed to Iowa State yesterday over offers from Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Kansas State, Minnesota, and others.

Jackson is from Omaha, Nebraska, joining fellow Omaha native Kaprice Keith as commitments to head east to Iowa State. Based on his unofficial visit history and other factors, the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine had predicted either Kansas State (46.1%) or Iowa (40.3%) would be much more likely than Iowa State (3.1%) to land Jackson’s commitment, but he’s headed to Ames to be a Cyclone.

Jackson ranks 521st nationally and 32nd at the ATH position designation according to the On3 industry composite.

This is the 4th ranked commitment for the Cyclones, but the 8th commitment overall for the 2026 class, a class which currently ranks 43rd nationally and 7th in the Big 12.

3-Star WR Marlon Harbin Commits to Louisville

3-star WR Marlon Harbin committed to Louisville yesterday over offers from Kentucky and other nearby programs, among others.

Harbin is a local prospect who was really down between Louisville and Kentucky, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine that had it pretty close to a toss-up (UL: 51.5%, UK: 45.0%).

The On3 industry composite ranks Harbin 626th nationally and an even 100th at the WR position.

3-Star CB Marcell Gipson Commits to Clemson

3-star CB Marcell Gipson committed to Clemson recently, according to On3’s Hayes Fawcett, choosing the Tigers over SMU, Ole Miss, Washington, Wisconsin, and other programs.

His commitment follows a visit during the Tigers’ Elite Retreat weekend, a weekend which has had a massive boost on the Tigers’ 2026 recruiting class and has landed some large names, with more potentially expected to lock in.

Gipson ranks 669th nationally and 56th at the CB position according to the On3 industry composite.

Clemson is already up to 11 commitments for the 2026 class, with 6 of them being Blue Chip talents. The class ranks 7th nationally and is tops in the ACC as of now.

3-Star CB Elijah Durr Commits to Washington

3-star CB Elijah Durr committed to Washington yesterday, but according to a conversation Durr had with On3, his mind was made up back in February. He chose the Huskies over Arizona, as well as plenty of other offers.

Durr shared with On3 that Washington “felt like home. Every time I am there, everyone welcomes me. The fans go all out for the players, the people offer great support regardless of the sport and my connections with the coaches have been there from the start.”

Durr ranks 745th nationally and 65th at the CB position, according to the On3 industry composite.

For Washington, this is the 7th commitment overall for a 2026 class which currently ranks 40th nationally and 13th out of 18 in the Big Ten.

3-Star IOL John Fifita Commits to USC

The top-ranked Trojans’ recruiting class landed another commitment yesterday, as 3-star IOL John Fifita committed to USC over offers from Arizona, Arizona State, and others.

Fifita committed to USC within 24 hours of receiving an offer from Lincoln Riley and Co., pouncing on the opportunity to be with USC.

According to the On3 industry composite, Fifita ranks 910th nationally and 79th at the IOL position designation.

As mentioned, USC’s class is ranked 1st nationally as it currently has a whopping 12 commitments, 7 of which are from Blue Chip prospects.

3-Star DL Noah Tishendorf Commits to Oregon State

3-star DL Noah Tishendorf committed to Oregon State yesterday over offers from Washington State and UNLV, among others.

Tishendorf currently plays more on the edge, but he is expected to kick inside on the DL for Oregon State. His relationship with Coach Ilaisa Tuiaki was a large part of the reason for his commitment, calling their relationship, “great. I’ve been offered for almost a year, so we have been in contact for awhile.”

Tishendorf is only rated by 247 and Rivals, so he is not on the On3 industry composite, but his rating of 85 from 247 places him 90th of edge rushers and 8th of all prospects in the state of Oregon.

For Oregon State, this is the Beavers’ 3rd commitment total for the 2026 class, a class which ranks 45th nationally.

4-Star DL Darryus McKinley Down to 4 Programs

4-star DL Darryus McKinley shared with On3’s Hayes Fawcett that he is down to 4 programs: Florida, LSU, Tennessee, and Texas.

Darryus McKinley is the younger brother of former 5-star recruit and current LSU DL Dominick McKinley.

Of LSU, Darryus McKinley shared with On3’s Steve Wiltfong, “the environment in LSU was very hype and was a great time over with the coaches and the other recruits. The part I’m most excited about at LSU is playing with my brother while he is there.”

The On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine really only gives LSU a chance, at 98.1%, with no other program getting 1% or more.

McKinley ranks 369th nationally and 33rd at the DL position according to the On3 industry composite.
