With the 2026 recruiting cycle in full effect, On3 has released its updated rankings for the rising senior class.

The update comes more than five months after the last in mid-October and will see some of the biggest changes in the entire recruiting cycle. And no more apparent is that than the top of the rankings, where we have seen some major shifts up and down.

Two new prospects have earned five-star status and a handful of others have made into the top 10. At this point in the cycle, there are only six five-stars, but it will ultimately grow to 32 by next January’s final rankings to match the number of first-round picks in the NFL Draft each year.
Ahead of the full rankings release later today, On3 is counting down the 10 best players in the new On300:

3. QB Jared Curtis

School: Nashville Christian (Tenn.)
Scout’s Take: “At 6-foot-3.5, 225 pounds, Curtis pairs a big frame with an elite arm and plus movement skills. He improved his accuracy and efficiency as a junior, and no quarterback in the 2026 cycle makes more impressive individual plays on a weekly basis than Jared Curtis. He has a quick, elastic arm and regularly hits small window throws over the middle of the field. The arm talent allows for Curtis to access and attack all areas of the field. The improvisational skills also stand out.” – Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

4. OT Immanuel Iheanacho

School: Baltimore (Md.) Georgetown Prep
Scout’s Take: Immanuel Iheanacho blends excellent, ready-made size with advanced flexibility, power and functional movement skills. He plays with outstanding pad level, using his bend and understanding of leverage to get underneath the pads of defenders. Iheanacho fires off the ball and moves defenders at will once engaged. He’s a light footed mover, both as a run blocker and in pass protection, drawing on his basketball background. The movement skills look to be translatable as a pass protector, as he plays with balance and control. We also see Iheanacho flash his athleticism as a disruptive defensive lineman.” – Cody Bellaire, On3 National Scout

5. QB Dia Bell – Texas commit

School: Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) American Heritage
Scout’s Take: “From an arm talent perspective, Texas commit Dia Bell is as good as anyone in the 2026 cycle. He’s the definition of a natural thrower. His ability to manipulate the football and throw consistently catchable footballs from multiple arm angles is a treat to watch. He can dice up defenses on Friday evenings and makes special throws. He’s someone that has tons of upside especially as he develops and fills out his frame down the line.” – Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

6. EDGE Carter Meadows

School: Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga
Scout’s Take:
“Checking in at over 6-foot-6, around 225 pounds, and arms that measure over 35 inches, Meadows is on the short list of the most physically-impressive prospects in the 2026 cycle. The Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga pass rusher pairs his monster frame with elite functional movement skills. The ability to bend as a young prospect of his size is rare. Meadows is highly loose and fluid. He makes impressive plays while tracking down plays in pursuit and shows strong hands while working as an edge setter. A developmental prospect, we currently view Meadows’ physical upside as one of the highest in the cycle.“ – Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

7. EDGE Rodney Dunham

School: Charlotte (N.C.) Myers Park
Scout’s Take:
Rodney Dunhamhas the look of a natural pass rusher. At around 6-foot-4, 215 pounds with plus length, he has a developmental frame along with excellent get-off and bend around the edge. Dunham is a coordinated athlete and shows encouraging flashes of pass rush skill. He makes impressive plays in pursuit. Dunham doesn’t turn 17 years-old until July, so he is younger for the cycle and has room to continue developing from a size and strength perspective.” – Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

8. WR Tristen Keys

School: Hattiesburg (Miss.)
Scout’s Take: “Tristen Keys is the total package. He has that rare combination of fluidity and twitch that every coach is searching for at the receiver position. He does such a great job of sinking his hips at the top of his routes, especially at 6-foot-3, and exploding out. Plus he has the foot speed and body control to throttle up and down during his routes which keeps defenders on their heels. His pacing and timing is so advanced for someone his age and he has natural ball skills. He’s going to walk in and compete for a starting job very early on in his career.” – Cody Bellaire, On3 National Scout

9. OT Kodi Greene – Oregon commit

School: Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei
Scout’s Take: Kodi Greene is one of the most nimble and athletic pass protectors among offensive tackles that we’ve watched so far this season. He is very light on his feet, coordinated and has played well at this point after transferring to Southern California powerhouse Mater Dei for his junior year. He’s faced top competition and has done really well, especially in pass protection. When you go back and just watch the full breadth of film on Kodi Greene and dive into his movement skills, I think they stack up really well at the position and they project well. I think as he continues to get stronger and progress as a run blocker, he looks to have a five-star type of ceiling when you consider the athleticism and movement skills, and how projectable they are along with his plus size.” – Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

10. OT Felix Ojo

School: Mansfield (Texas) Lake Ridge
Scout’s Take:
Felix Ojo’s frame is exactly how you would draw it up for an offensive tackle; lean lower half, long limbs with room to fill out and add mass without losing athleticism. His ability to remain square and balanced in his pass set is picture-perfect. Combine that with his quick feet and ability to strike defenders and gain control at the point of attack and you have one of the most gifted tackle prospects in the country. He has a chance to be one of the most sought-after offensive line prospects in the state, if not the entire 2026 recruiting cycle.” – Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
