1. Wiltfong Whiparound: College Football Recruiting and Transfer Portal Podcast centers on Notre Dame, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Auburn, Tennessee, and USC recruiting updates. 2. Steve Wiltfong appears as the recruiting insider giving the board updates, and Josh asks the questions that move from one program to the next. 3. The episode is built to show which programs are setting the pace for elite 2027 targets before spring visits and summer official visits. 4. Notre Dame opens with Leighton Von Brant, the nation’s No. 6 offensive tackle, who is coming back for spring and summer visits. 5. Steve says Notre Dame is the driver for Von Brant, with Florida as the biggest competition and Virginia Tech also in the mix. 6. Cade Cooper, a Rivals 300 wide receiver from Malvern Prep in Pennsylvania, is another Notre Dame target who could surge after a spring visit. 7. Notre Dame’s defensive line board includes David Follett, the No. 2 defensive lineman nationally, and Abraham Cisse, the No. 5 edge, both already predicted to the Irish. 8. Steve says Notre Dame is also pursuing Marcus Bakatu, Zyron Forstall, Ty Brown, K.J. Green, and Afanyi Emadobe, with several spring visits still ahead. 9. The Irish staff change matters because Charlie Partridge is described as a major addition after Al Washington left for the NFL. 10. Notre Dame also remains a threat for Albert Simeon, Trey Segarra, Gavin Williams, Tavares Harrington, and Camden Lopati. 11. Steve says Texas A&M is hosting Sir Rod Baker, who rushed for more than 3,000 yards and 41 touchdowns as a junior at DeSoto. 12. Landon Williams-Calas, a Gatorade National Player of the Year finalist, is another Aggies visitor, and Oregon is one of the main challengers. 13. Olu Olubabola is on a return trip to College Station, and Steve already has a prediction on Texas A&M for him. 14. Jordan Agbonoma, Kennedy Brown, Mark Matthews, and A. King Hall are among the other Aggie targets named in the segment. 15. South Carolina’s quarterback board includes DJ Hunter, a former Kentucky commit, and Jerry Meyer, who is expected on campus this weekend. 16. Kevin VerPale, a Rivals 300 quarterback committed to Pitt, is another South Carolina target after getting attention from Florida and USF. 17. Auburn’s spring visits focus on the trenches, with Cameron Wagner, Jackson Roper, Jatori Williams, and Terrence Smith all mentioned on the offensive line. 18. Tennessee’s visit list includes Hayden Stepp, Omari Sanders, Sean Tatum, and Deion Cooper, while Steve says the Vols remain a frontrunner for David Gabriel-Georges. 19. The episode moves in a fast, recruit-by-recruit format, with Josh prompting Steve to name schools, rankings, and visit dates. 20. College football recruiting fans tracking 2027 classes at Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Tennessee, Auburn, South Carolina, and USC will get the most out of this one.
