2022 College Football Schedules: All 130 Teams

The February version of college football National Signing Day doesn’t have the hold on the sport like it used to – it’s the landline phone line in a 5G world – but it closes out the recruiting season.

Sort of.

Some programs were already done recruiting back in December, but everyone is always pitching and holding on to their own guys with the transfer portal a bigger deal now.

Why bother with a whole slew of young prospects when you can go shopping and get the mature guys you need?

But recruiting high school players is still a big deal for your base.

No, not everyone is going to transfer, and no, you can’t live off of getting guys through the portal. You need the cake to put the transfer portal frosting on.

Texas A&M destroyed it this recruiting season. Shock of shocks, Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Penn State – the normal big guys did big recruiting things. But you knew that.

What teams off the normal recruiting radar crushed it this season? More to the point, which schools and coaching staffs bounced back massive after a mediocre 2021?

5. Stanford Cardinal

It certainly helped a wee bit that USC and Oregon are in a transitional period and need a year or so to get back up to speed in the high-end recruiting world, but it’s not like Stanford is competing for the same guys as the rest of the Pac-12.

David Shaw’s 2020 class wasn’t bad, but the 2021 haul was a bit lacking.

There were a few nice parts, and the Cardinal always gets a star lineman or two, but it missed the WOW factor for a program that started to fall off. After a 3-9 season coming off a four-win 2020 – granted, there were only six games – and 4-8 2019, the reciting class needed guys.

Shaw hasn’t done a whole lot in the transfer portal, but he did what he must for the program and got the right guys from across the country for the right spots.

When Stanford rocks, its lines are dominant and the running game works. In come the infrastructure players with both lines improving, Sam Roush out of Tennessee is a top tight end, and he’s got two terrific-looking offensive tackles in Lucas Heyer and Fisher Anderson.

Again, it’s different because some programs aren’t quite there yet, but Stanford had one of the best recruiting runs in the Pac-12.

LSU 2022 signee Will Campbell’s stock is rising

Campbell is rising on recruiting boards.

One of the biggest additions to watch as spring football approaches will be Will Campbell of Neville (Monroe, Louisiana). He is the highest-rated signee from the 2022 class according to 247Sports composite rankings. A top 30 player in the country, Campbell could find his way into the starting lineup for new head coach Brian Kelly.

According to Craig Haubert and Tom Lugenbill of ESPN (subscription required), among the top recruits that are climbing in the final ESPN300 rankings include the top signee of the LSU 2022 class, Will Campbell.

Campbell is expected to be among those fighting for a starting job at offensive tackle for Brad Davis in 2022. The team added four-star transfer Miles Frazier and FCS offensive tackle Tre’Mond Shorts. Both could be starters on the offensive line or they could find themselves in a fight with incumbent starter Cam Wire and freshman newcomer Will Campbell.

What ESPN Says…

Among an excellent group of offensive linemen, Campbell has established himself as one of the elite offensive tackles in this class. Game film that continues to show dominance coupled with a strong performance during the Under Armour All-America week, Campbell made it clear he’s deserving of a fifth star. He has a lean, powerful frame as a run-blocker (6-6, 275), which blends well with sound body control and agile feet in pass protection. Further bulk and strength should only improve with time in the Tigers’ weight program. Campbell is also a confident player who has demonstrated a strong understanding for the position. As an early enrollee, he’s a great candidate to play this fall in Baton Rouge.

USA TODAY High School Sports recruiting rankings Power 5 spotlight: Big Ten

See the top 10 high school football recruits committed to Big Ten schools.

As recruiting for the high school football class of 2022 picks up, more and more schools are seeing who may be its superstars of the future.

For conferences that do not have 10 players in the top-100, the remainder of the list came from the 247Sports Composite Ranking. That does not apply to the Big Ten, which has 13 top-100 players.

Florida basketball’s 2022 recruiting class cracks the SI All-American Top 25

Florida’s class ranks in the top 25 after the early signing period and the best since 2019.

Gators coach Mike White has had some disappointing finishes during his time at Florida, but one of his biggest strengths as a coach is recruiting. He signed yet another very talented class during the early signing period on Wednesday, and he’s not done yet, as there are several other players the team could target before the normal national signing day in April.

Still, as things currently stand, Florida has a top 25 class, according to the Sports Illustrated All-American recruiting rankings. It ranks 20th, to be exact, and the class is headlined by the signing of consensus five star Malik Reneau, a power forward from basketball factory Montverde Academy, the same school that produced top Gators signees Andrew Nembhard and Omar Payne.

In addition to Reneau, who is the No. 25 player in the nation per the 247Sports Composite, Florida signed power forward Jalen Reed, a four-star recruit who also ranks in the top 100 (No. 89). UF also added Denzel Aberdeen, a three-star combo guard who stands at 6-foot-4-inches and ranks No. 193 in the nation.

The Gators could still add another couple of players to the class, but it already ranks as White’s highest since his top-10 class in 2019. This is yet another talented haul, and it could rise in the rankings even more before the final signing period.
