Top Dt for 2026

That would be amazing but prob not going to happen

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.

There are 2 top 40ish DL from FL in the 24 class that reclassified up. The Blount kid headed to Miami and I believe the McCray kid headed to wither fSU or UF(both had multiple different commitments).
I agree on younger kids moving up a class. I don't think it's in their best interest. However, some are kids that are older than their current class and actually belong in the upper class. Kids fail or get held back when small children. Not every reclass fits the same mold.

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.

. 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.

My guess is because of NIL.
