With several top recruits set to announce on July 4, we’re rolling out our Fearless Predictions — just our best guesses based on public info, visit trends, and recruiting buzz. No inside intel here, just some educated speculation for fun.
DeSoto WR Ethan Feaster: One of the nation's most heavily-offered prospects reclassified to the 2026 class to get a jumpstart on his college career.

Fearless Prediction: USC
Port Arthur Memorial LB Tank King: King has had his announcement plans locked in for quite a while, and Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan and Notre Dame are all in the mix for one of the more closely guarded commitments in this cycle. Around 1:00 pm CST, the mystery will be solved.

Mansfield Lake Ridge OT Felix Ojo: The No. 1-rated OT in the state has drawn interest from every national heavyweight and will reveal his choice around 2:00 pm CST. Ojo has been one of the more well-traveled recruits in the country, taking seven official visits: Texas, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Ole Miss and Utah. Only one in-state program got him on campus, and he’s kept his cards close to the chest.

Fearless Prediction: Notre Dame
North Crowley OL John Turntine III: You’ll want to stay up for the finale! Texas, Texas A&M, Michigan and Stanford all hosted him for official visits, and he’s put academics at the forefront of his recruitment since day one. Now the question is: which program checks every box?
