The drama surrounding top recruits adds an extra layer of excitement to the college football signing period. For instance, wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, a top prospect in the class of 2024, has been committed to Ohio State, but there’s speculation about a potential flip influenced by strong recruiting efforts from Florida schools.
Similarly, Gatlin Bair, a wide receiver from Idaho, has decommitted from Boise State and is now considering Michigan and Oregon, with Michigan being the favored choice. His decision could significantly bolster the Wolverines’ recruiting class, where he would be the top wide receiver signing.
In the Big Ten, defensive lineman Ernest Willor Jr. is a sought-after recruit, with Wisconsin Badgers being the favorite to secure his commitment. His decision could be a game-changer for the Badgers, enhancing their recruiting class and bolstering their roster in preparation for the competitive Big Ten landscape.
