Top NFL Draft Prospects Commit to College Football Programs

As the 2025 college football season approaches, Penn State aims to replicate Ohio State’s championship formula by combining key veteran returns with impact transfer additions, notably retaining quarterback Drew Allar, who cited coach James Franklin’s player-driven culture as his primary reason for staying despite NFL draft projections. Meanwhile, recruiting news is heating up for the class of 2026: top quarterback prospect Jared Curtis recommitted to Georgia after considering Oregon, highlighting the Bulldogs' continued attraction for elite talent. Michigan also landed a significant commitment from four-star quarterback Brady Smigiel, who pointed to the school's academic reputation, player development focus, and the influence of offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey as decisive factors. Additionally, Michigan is strongly positioned to land four-star cornerback Dorian Barney, who praised the alignment between his high school and Michigan’s defensive schemes and his relationship with the coaching staff.
