TYRAY DARENSBURG
5.5 RATING
6'1"|215 LBS|LB
CHALMETTE
CHALMETTE, LA
CLASS OF 2026
UNDECIDED
After winning the linebacker MVP award at the Rivals Camp Series in Los Angeles two weekends ago, Darensburg could be close to a new ACC offer.

Syracuse is getting heavily involved with the Chalmette, La., standout and an offer could be close. Florida State has started to express interest in the three-star linebacker as well.

HAVON FINNEY JR.
6.1 RATING

SIERRA CANYON
CHATSWORTH, CA
CLASS OF 2026
UNDECIDED
A battle between staying home and playing at USC (possibly with five-star teammate Richard Wesley) and going to LSU could be brewing for Finney, who recently reclassified to 2026.

The word early for the Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon standout was that the Tigers had the big edge but USC has shown him a lot of attention especially with its new recruiting staff. Ohio State, Texas and Michigan are also being looked at for officials.

KAIDEN HALL
5.9 RATING
6'3"|195 LBS|S
MILTON
MILTON, FL
CLASS OF 2026
UNDECIDED
When Florida State stopped by Milton, Fla., recently Hall was definitely “high on them” as the Seminoles have always been a front-runner but others are definitely challenging for that top spot.

Florida, Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma and LSU are the others to watch and the Gators could be sneaky in this recruitment if FSU doesn’t work out.

JAREYLAN MCCOY
5.9 RATING
6'7"|245 LBS|DE
TUPELO
TUPELO, MS
CLASS OF 2026
UNDECIDED
The four-star defensive end from Tupelo, Miss., committed to LSU at the Under Armour Game and then backed off that pledge only a month later. Ole Miss seemed to surge for the in-state standout but the word I’m getting is that LSU remains McCoy’s top team and he was back in Baton Rouge over the weekend while being in the area for a camp.

The team that’s surging is Florida as the Gators have “been on it” and showing McCoy tons of attention.

CARMELOW REED
5.6 RATING

RICH TOWNSHIP
OLYMPIA FIELDS, IL
CLASS OF 2026
UNDECIDED
Landing a new offer from LSU was a “surreal feeling” and he “loved every second of it” as the three-star defensive end from Olympia Fields (Ill.) Rich Township has seen his recruitment absolutely take off recently.

Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama and Florida State are now reaching out as Ole Miss and Wisconsin have jumped out as the early front-runners.

TYSON ROBINSON
5.9 RATING
5'9"|195 LBS|RB
BRANDON
BRANDON, MS
CLASS OF 2027
UNDECIDED
Major visits to Tennessee, LSU, Alabama, Florida State, Oklahoma and Texas A&M are coming up for the 2027 four-star running back from Brandon, Miss. All those trips will be crucial as Robinson looks to find his college home but the word is that the Volunteers remain his early favorite.
