Top Dt for 2026

Guys reclassifying is not a normal thing. It’s seemingly happening more often but it takes a lot of work in the class room and knowing you plan to reclassify early on.

This would be a terrible idea. 16 year olds going to college early for no reason. A 16 year old DT going up against a 22 year old with 3 years of sec experience would get dominated.

The need for dt’s doesn’t mean bringing young kids in to fill roster spots.

I've never heard of lineman reclassying. Usually it's QBs, and only recently have I seen the WR Ryan Williams do. I've seen 1-2 RBs do it before as well.


Usually a kid that has reclassified doesn't make it big.

It's a horrible idea for linemen, who need time to grow into their bodies.

Many of the players who reclassify, were previously held back and are just adjusting back to their actual class.
