Every year college football teams and fans wait for high school recruits to reveal which school they will attend and which team they will play for in the following academic year.
In the Class of 2021, Alabama and Ohio State both signed three of the top 10 recruits while USC signed the #1 overall recruit, defensive lineman Korey Foreman. Alabama has signed the highest-rated class in three of the last four years. Only two teams ranked within the top 50 recruiting classes in 2021 were not in Power 5 conferences: Cincinnati (#44) and Memphis (#47) of the American Athletic Conference.
