Rivals250 Update: Ten prospects who could rise with a big June
Through camps, Elite 11, the Rivals Five-Star, OT7 finals and so much more, June is going to be a massive evaluation period. Rivals just released its new rankings and many more changes could be coming. Here are 10 prospects who can move up through a big June. Advertisement NEW 2026 RIVALS250: Ranking | Biggest storylines CLASS OF 2026 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2027 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State TRANSFER PORTAL: Full coverage | Player ranking | Team ranking | Transfer search | Transfer Tracker RIVALS CAMP SERIES: Rivals Five-Star heading back to Indy | Rivals Five-Star roster | Schedule/info Duckworth is already ranked as the seventh-best quarterback in the class and one notch from five-star status but we're going to see him at two massive events in June and that could determine whether he'll become a five-star quarterback or not. Advertisement The Jackson, Ala., standout, who is highest on Ole Miss but has Auburn, South Carolina and others after him, will be at the Elite 11 and then the Rivals Five-Star and we'll see if he should be even higher. The four-star Arizona State quarterback commit is from El Paso (Texas) Del Valle and hasn't really been on the national circuit much but he has outstanding film. After his pledge to the Sun Devils, a bunch of SEC teams, including LSU and Auburn, came through with offers but Fette has been steadfast sticking with Arizona State. He'll be at the Elite 11 to compare himself against some of the nation's best and his arm talent and athletic playmaking ability is on full display on film. Advertisement Ranked No. 106 nationally, Fette is moving up but maybe not enough yet. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ARIZONA STATE FANS AT There are already four five-star receivers in the 2026 class, which is a healthy number but all of them are bigger, outside prospects. The way NFL Draft trends are going, the shiftier, smaller slot guys are more in demand. That means if the Tennessee commit from Knoxville (Tenn.) Catholic has a huge showing at the Rivals Five-Star this summer then he'll be in five-star consideration for sure. The top three slot receivers – King, Vance Spafford and CJ Sadler – are all expected in Indianapolis so game on. Advertisement SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH TENNESSEE FANS AT Ponatoski is one of the most interesting prospects in the 2026 class because he is a legitimate two-sport star in football and baseball, and that is going to play a major impact on his recruitment. The Cincinnati (Ohio) Moeller standout also won basically every award given to Ohio football players last season and he's also really taking his time with his recruitment. A big visit to Oregon is planned for later this month with Alabama, Wake Forest, Kentucky, Texas A&M and others involved. If he blows up at the Elite 11, Ponatoski has all the ability to move even higher inside the Rivals250. The four-star USC running back commit has crept into the back end of the Rivals250 but if rankings were based on only speed, Redeaux would be toward the top of this list. That consideration has come more into focus after some impressive performances this offseason and if he turns it up even more at the Rivals Five-Star this summer, the Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian standout could move up quickly. Advertisement His speed and all-purpose capabilities whether running the ball or catching it out of the backfield are dynamic. The Downey, Calif., four-star is just outside the Rivals250 but a big performance at the Elite 11 in a few weeks will back up some outstanding performances and move him even higher on the list. Rios is still lean and does need to add some mass to handle college defensive ends coming for him off the edge but in terms of dynamic passing ability and the ball popping off his hand, Rios has been really impressive at recent events. Arizona is a front-runner with UCLA, Kentucky and Oklahoma State standing out most. Ranked No. 207 nationally, Scruggs has put together some really impressive performances this offseason and if he backs it up again against national competition at the Rivals Five-Star then he could be in line for a very quick move up the rankings. Advertisement Clemson could have the edge over Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma and Penn State so the offers are there, the tape is there and now in-person evaluations are there for Scruggs to go much higher into the Rivals250. A four-star just inside the new Rivals250, Thomalla is committed to Iowa State but took a visit to Alabama over the weekend as the Crimson Tide look to flip him. Not only is the Omaha (Neb.) Millard South quarterback an elite playmaker on the football field but his dunking ability on the basketball court speaks to high-level athleticism that shouldn't be ignored. At the very least, Thomalla should be heavily considered to move up, especially if he shows out at the upcoming Elite 11. Advertisement SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ALABAMA FANS AT One of the prospects I'm most excited to see at the Rivals Five-Star this summer is Wise because he hasn't done many national events at all and so many people in the Panhandle of Florida talk about how gifted he is. Clemson landed his commitment in March and while there are no five-star interior offensive linemen (Lamar Brown was moved to athlete because he could play both ways and Darius Gray is a tempting consideration) Wise could get into that discussion with a dominant performance in Indy. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH CLEMSON FANS AT The Wayne (N.J.) DePaul Catholic quarterback committed to Washington in April and he's remained a low three-star prospect which is curious because coach Jedd Fisch definitely can identify top players at that position and then develop them. Advertisement Zammit does a nice job throwing on the run, escaping pressure, throwing into tight windows and he was a stat stuffer in his junior season. A big performance at the Elite 11 could catapult him up the rankings. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH WASHINGTON FANS AT

Big 12 Spotlight: Committed prospects on flip watch
Rivals national recruiting director Adam Gorney takes a look at four Big 12 commitments that could be at risk to flip their pledges before the end of the year. THIS SERIES: Four Big Ten commits on flip watch | SEC commits on flip watch CLASS OF 2025 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2026 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2027 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State TRANSFER PORTAL: Full coverage | Player ranking | Team ranking | Transfer search | Transfer Tracker Kansas landed a massive commitment from Dunnigan on Jan. 2 as the Jayhawks had to overcome some obstacles to get it done. Dunnigan is from Manhattan, Kan., so Kansas State was clearly a contender in his recruitment. But Dunnigan picked the Jayhawks and was back in Lawrence over the weekend developing a stronger bond with the coaches and players. The good news is that he's working with the coaching staff to target specific recruits to keep building out the class. While Dunnigan doesn't have any other visits scheduled, a Who's Who of top teams are now coming after him with Miami, Tennessee, Oregon, Ole Miss and others dialing in on the long and rangy four-star safety. If Kansas can keep Dunnigan locked in, that would be a huge win for the Jayhawks. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH KANSAS FANS AT To be clear, Fette has shown no signs of cracking with his Arizona State commitment even after SEC offers have come in. The four-star quarterback from El Paso (Texas) Del Valle even said this following his Ole Miss offer. 'It's really sick to get an SEC offer especially one from Ole Miss where they just had Jaxson Dart who's a really good QB but overall I'm pretty locked in on ASU,' Fette said. That's great news for the Sun Devils. But Auburn, LSU, Mississippi State and Ole Miss have offered in recent months. If Fette hits the road for some visits or gets curious about playing in the SEC or Arizona State comes back to Earth a little bit after its College Football Playoff run, it could be one to watch. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ARIZONA STATE FANS AT Henderson's recruitment will be one of the most closely watched ones in the entire 2026 class because he committed to Houston early and continues to show a ton of love to the Cougars (he recently took a pic with the city's mayor at a basketball game) but other top programs are not going to back off. The Spring (Texas) Legacy five-star has the talent right now to step in and make an impact on a struggling Houston offense that averaged just 14 points per game last season. The Cougars are coming off back-to-back four-win seasons. That provides a massive opportunity for Henderson to step right in and contribute. But it also provides an opening for all the power programs from across the country – and many of them are working on flipping Henderson – to offer something more solid. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH HOUSTON FANS AT Arizona State scored a big recruiting win in Dallas when the high three-star offensive lineman chose the Sun Devils in late November as they were making an improbable run to the College Football Playoff. A lot of credit goes to a very active coaching staff in Tempe as they went to Dallas (Texas) South Oak Cliff to land Tisaby's recruitment and they've held onto his pledge through the offseason so far. But there will be a lot of competition for Arizona State to keep him. The 6-foot-7, 305-pound prospect has some SEC pull with Missouri and Mississippi State getting involved. Oklahoma and Oregon offered earlier in his recruitment. And if SMU or another in-state program comes even harder then that would be something to watch, especially since the Mustangs are playing so well, too.
