The 2026 recruiting classes that project to actually produce
We ran every 2026 commit through our outcome models. Notre Dame projects the most NFL production (6.4 future draft picks) — and our board doesn't match the recruiting rankings everywhere.
Recruiting rankings grade talent on signing day. We wanted the next question answered: what will a class actually PRODUCE? So we ran every 2026 commit through the same models we validated on a decade of recruits — the college-contributor model for skill players, the all-position NFL-draft model for everyone — and added up each class's expected output. It's the bottom-line translation of a recruiting class: not how many stars, but how many players who play.
