ESPN 300. We have actually hosted several camps because the initial ESPN 300 release in April, and lots of prospects made the most of the exposure to either strengthen luxury status, climb up the list

or make their launchings in the rankings.This rankings update likewise factors in the results of the Elite 11 Finals, which concluded on June 16. It’s not a surprise that quarterbacks are a focus of each recruiting class, and we have now seen almost every top prospect both on film and personally for 2 cycles.One surprise: For the very first time, a cornerback tops the list. Previously, Jabrill Peppers(2014)and Travis Hunter (2022)were both ranked as the No. 2 overall prospect, while Pat Surtain II( 2018)made the No. 5 ranking. In 2006, future Rhodes Scholar and existing surgeon Myron Rolle was noted as the No. 1 hire, though as a safety.While Dylan Raiola, the previous No. 1 total hire in this cycle, is a Heisman-caliber quarterback in an extremely strong QB class, we are convinced that this class has an elite shutdown corner.We break down who the new No. 1 hire is, players on both sides of the ball who climbed up the rankings and other potential customers who stuck out over the previous couple of months.Jump to: Meet the new No. 1 recruit|Leading QBs Risers at skill positions Big movers on defense
