Bradley has plenty ahead of him in the class of 2026. He did hit the road this spring and got a fresh impression of programs already on the offer list such as Cincinnati and West Virginia, two programs long in on the Alabama native.
North Carolina, one of the many additional Power Four programs expected to take a closer look at Bradley this spring, also got the rising junior on campus of late.

Many programs are circling back on the big, strong-armed passer out of South Georgia. Hill has been to Florida and Florida State recently and thinks official visits to both are likely.
Florida’s is already set as Billy Napier and company search for their QB1 in the class. Memphis also has an official visit date locked in with Hill, who anticipates setting several more up before he makes a preseason decision.
Other SEC programs such as Alabama and Ole Miss, Hill says, remain in contact as well.

A bevy of programs are keeping an eye on the Moody (Ala.) High School standout. Johnston holds offers from many, already, including Toledo, Georgia Southern, Louisiana Tech and others, and more Power Four programs are keeping tabs on him as he heats up this offseason.
Johnston recently visited Michigan State, Alabama and Auburn in the spring. After the new options settle in the coming months, official visits could lead to a preseason decision.

The top-ranked prospect in the land was recently back in Southern California and continues to report solidity with his USC commitment. So much so that this visit, Lewis says, was more about getting time with players and non-football personnel to continue to get comfortable living out West.
Still, Colorado is set to get him back on campus next weekend and Shedeur Sanders has joined the recruiting effort for Deion Sanders and company.
Alabama, Auburn and Georgia are also among those still in the mix for Lewis, but the Trojan pledge won’t be easy to upend.

The Louisville commitment showed up sporting Cardinals gear from nearly head to toe, even working out with the logo on his towel, and Mims confirmed he remains rock solid to the program. It doesn’t mean other programs have stopped reaching out, he says.
In-state Auburn and Florida State have been persistent with the Oxford (Ala.) High School star. Mims isn’t sure if he would even consider trips to other programs going forward.

A visit to Northwestern in March was all Romain needed to feel comfortable with committing to the Wildcats. Romain is in close contact with the coaching staff. Running backs coach Chris Foster, offensive coordinator Zach Lujan and head coach David Braun are continuing to build strong relationships with Romain, who initially had concerns about the inner workings of the program in the wake of the Pat Fitzgerald firing last offseason.
Romain has gone over the changes Braun has made in the program with current and former players along with the coaching staff, and he feels great about the direction of Northwestern’s football program.
