College football's top 10 recruiters midway through the 2026 cycle

Ten coaches have risen to the top of the 247Sports 2026 Football Recruiter Rankings as the recruiting cycle slows, with more than 90% of the Top247 prospects committed. Elite recruiters at Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, Texas, Miami, Clemson and Texas A&M made the cut.

Three of the top 10 recruiters for the 2026 cycle work under Lincoln Riley at USC, including two hired last offseason. The Trojans haven't secured a top-five recruiting class since 2018 but are poised to break that drought in 2026, currently holding the No. 1 spot in the 247Sports Composite Team Recruiting Rankings.

Three recruiters on this list have each secured at least five Top247 prospects at their respective position groups for the 2026 class, surpassing the total Top247 commitments for entire classes at several elite programs, including Florida State, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma, among others.
