1. What's the most important recruiting visit of the weekend?
John Garcia Jr.: WR Dallas Wilson at Florida. The Oregon commitment has appeared so very solid throughout his time as a pledge to Dan Lanning and company, but right as Florida began heating up following the newfound stability under Billy Napier, Wilson started returning to Gainesville. Now he'll be in The Swamp for a second-straight weekend, this time for an official visit, so the orange and blue carpet will be rolled out as the Gators look to keep Wilson close to his Tampa-area home for college. The momentum, proximity, DJ Lagway combined with Tramell Jones and the SEC are all legitimate counters to what UO can offer across the country. Even Wilson admitted the interest and flip potential is legitimate, telling Rivals UF made "a big move" for him ahead of this final visit.
Adam Gorney: Michael Fasusi visiting Texas this weekend makes his recruitment a whole lot more interesting. He reinforced his Oklahoma commitment recently but he's going to see the Longhorns this weekend and then again next weekend if he ends up making an expected trip to Texas A&M as well. The Aggies have a chance as well but Texas is really the team to watch, especially as Oklahoma slogs through a disappointing season to the finish line.
Greg Smith: Jahkeem Stewart visiting Oregon. The Ducks bringing the five-star into town while on a bye week is unique. It shows once again that coach Dan Lanning is willing to go the extra mile to land elite recruits. The Ducks hope to close Stewart this weekend but are facing stiff competition from USC and a newly-interested Michigan.
Sam Spiegelman: Michael Fasusi to Texas. Fasusi is set to make his first visit back to Texas since his August commitment to the Sooners. The five-star offensive tackle is scheduled to be on the Forty Acres on Saturday as the Longhorns host Kentucky after originally planning to return to Norman this weekend as Oklahoma hosts Alabama. Texas has been angling to get the elite in-state OL back on campus ever since head coach Steve Sarkisian and Chris Gilbert visited Fasusi at Lewisville High School late last month, and with time winding down in the 2025 recruiting cycle, the Longhorns are becoming the biggest threat to Oklahoma for the No. 12 player in the Rivals250. Texas is prepared to roll out the red carpet for the blue-chip OL after trending for multiple parts of Fasusi's recruitment.
2. Which program can help itself out the most on the recruiting trail this weekend?
John Garcia Jr.: Michigan. Not only is UM the talk of the recruiting world after landing Bryce Underwood on Thursday evening, but it also wraps up the home slate on Saturday against Northwestern. A hot program combined with the urgency of the last chance to host recruits before signing day – especially with the positive financial/NIL perception associated with the Underwood win – could not only lead to prospects clamoring to get to Ann Arbor, but verbal commitments and signatures shortly thereafter. Watch that visitor list grow and impress all the way until that 3:30 pm ET kickoff.
Adam Gorney: Suddenly, Florida has some momentum for the first time in a long time. Coach Billy Napier not only saved his job but beat LSU last weekend and a good showing – or even a win – could be huge against Ole Miss to keep that momentum going. Plus with no massive buyout for Napier, more NIL money has been freed up as five-star Javion Hilson, Florida State RB commit Byron Louis, Tennessee pledge Onis Konanbanny and many other elite prospects will be on campus. The Gators are hot down the stretch here after a miserable start to the season and keeping it up against Ole Miss is crucial.
Greg Smith: This is a very close call for me between Michigan and Florida. But I’m going to go with Michigan this week. It'll host tight end commit Andrew Olesh and hope to end any talk of him flipping. It’s the first time they’ll have a visit weekend after flipping Bryce Underwood. So there will be a lot of focus on bringing in big-time targets to show what the Big House looks like on game day.
Sam Spiegelman: Tennessee. The Vols are set to host four-star RB Daune Morris back on campus this weekend, the second in the past month that the USC verbal will be in Rocky Top for a visit. Tennessee has turned up the heat on Morris during a stellar senior season at Murfreesboro (Tenn.) Oakland High, and will return for an official visit this weekend. Tennessee has been able to close the gap with the Trojans drastically since Morris' most recent visit to Knoxville, and that's a theme we anticipate continuing as the four-star target returns to town this weekend with his family. The Vols have capitalized on several massive recruiting weekends already this fall and will aim to do the same with this touted in-state target ahead of National Signing Day.
