The four-star defensive tackle from Opelika, Ala., has been committed to Auburn since February 2023, and at the moment, he remains committed to the Tigers, especially since he lives just minutes from campus.
However, Florida has continued to show interest and has managed to get the four-star recruit on campus. Additionally, following a visit to Ohio State, the Buckeyes are now emerging as a serious contender for his commitment.
Texas A&M is prioritizing the recruitment of the new four-star quarterback from Draper, Utah’s Corner Canyon High School, and Casuga is keenly aware of the Aggies’ strong efforts to recruit him. The standout quarterback from the 2026 class anticipates private team workouts this week with coaches from Michigan and Clemson. He also maintains regular conversations with USC coach Lincoln Riley, which keeps the Trojans prominently in his recruitment. Oregon and Tennessee are also among the schools he is considering.
The recruitment of the four-star athlete from Pensacola (Fla.) Escambia has surged in recent weeks, with a core group of schools emerging as top contenders. Initially, Clardy had mentioned Ole Miss and UCF as potential top choices, and while Ole Miss remains a favorite, other schools gaining traction include Washington, Mississippi State, Florida State, Florida, and Georgia.
Notre Dame appears to be a strong contender in the recruitment of the four-star quarterback from Cocoa, Fla., with LSU, Miami, Ole Miss, and several other schools also in the mix. However, two new schools, Michigan and Texas A&M, have recently emerged as serious contenders, catching Hart’s attention. As Hart focuses on his spring activities, he is expected to finalize his summer visit schedule soon.
The four-star receiver from Hollywood (Fla.) Chaminade Madonna is expected to make his commitment by the end of May, and Florida has positioned itself as a strong contender in Howard’s recruitment. While Florida State, Miami, Tennessee, and other schools are also in consideration, Howard is particularly attracted to the prospect of playing with five-star QB DJ Lagway, making the Gators the frontrunners in his recruitment.
