Oregon TRENDING for ELITE QB 🦆 | Jalen Brewster Rumors | Notre Dame, Texas A&M New Predictions 🎯

Five-star Jalen Brewster wavers on Texas Tech commitment after coaching change

It opens with Oregon. The Ducks are treated as the team to watch at the top, with Will Mentzel in the spotlight as a quarterback target they have chased for a long time and still seem to be pacing for after a fall visit and another trip back in late January into February. Jalen Brewster's rumor talk comes up next, and then the episode swings back to the recruiting board. Kentucky comes next. Will Stein and the new staff are putting real weight behind in-state recruiting, especially with two of the top wide receivers in the country. Tyler Freiman gets a full look: he's a Rivals 300 receiver, committed to Louisville for baseball, and said Kentucky's January visit left a strong impression. Jahide Brown follows as a four-star Indiana commit who visited Kentucky after the Navy All-American Bowl, while Louisville keeps pushing to flip him. Then the show lands on Seneca Driver. The nation's No. 1 tight end is Kentucky's crown jewel in state, even with Oklahoma, Louisville, Tennessee, and Notre Dame involved and a Kentucky prediction on the board. Wiltfong says the Wildcats still have to sell Driver on the idea that the program is turning the corner, with the portal, Will Stein's background, assistant coaches, and other resources all part of that pitch. Malachi Brown and Ron West Merlin also come up as more in-state names to watch. Texas A&M closes the show. The Aggies are in strong shape with a group of blue-chip targets, with Noah Glover leading the way and Frederick Ards, Eric McFarland, Jaden Upshaw, and Jordan Karhoff still in the mix. The thread stays the same: momentum, predictions, visits, and how a staff turns that into a class that can rise.
