Yes, the 2018 college football season isn’t over yet, but of course, that hasn’t stopped everyone from looking ahead to next season, especially following National Signing Day.
And even though programs are far from finished — as Nick Saban put it, “Don’t do your calculations and scare off everyone else we’re recruiting in February.” — we have a pretty solid idea of which teams are the recruiting winners. So here are the top-25 2019 college football recruiting classes as of Dec. 20, according to 247Sports Composite rankings.
Nick Saban's 2019 class includes five-start running back Trey Sanders and Tua Tagovailoa's brother, Taulia.
The Bulldogs have the most five-star recruits on this list, including center Clay Webb and defensive end Nolan Smith, who's the No. 1 overall recruit in this class.
After Jimbo Fisher's first season with the Aggies, he's got a top recruiting class that includes five-star players offensive tackle Kenyon Green — the No. 2 OT in the nation for this class — and defensive tackle DeMarvin Leal.
The Tigers' offense should get a boost from five-star running back John Emery Jr. — who's the second-best RB in the nation — while their defense will welcome Derek Stingley, a five-star cornerback who's the No. 2 overall recruit and the top CB.
The Ducks' lone five-star recruit is Kayvon Thibodeaux, a defensive end who's the No. 10 overall recruit.
