TAVIEN ST. CLAIR JUMPS UP TO NO. 1
The most important story of this rankings replace is the brand new No. 1 general prospect Tavien St. Clair. Transferring up from No. 11, the Ohio State commit has been lights out this offseason. At each occasion, St. Clair has proven off a talent set that offers us confidence he’ll have success in school and past.
He has the arm power, mechanics and accuracy to instantly make an impression on the school stage. St. Clair is ready to layer his passes, fireplace throws into tight home windows and successfully learn defenses to focus on the fitting receiver.
Transferring St. Clair above Bryce Underwood and Julian Lewis wasn’t a call the nationwide analyst group took calmly however it’s one we’re assured in given what we’ve realized about these gamers thus far.
The race for No. 1 isn’t over simply but. There are nonetheless two extra rankings updates earlier than the Rivals250 is finalized so St. Clair nonetheless has his work lower out for him.

WHERE DOES JULIAN LEWIS GO FROM HERE?
Lewis going from No. 1 to No. 5 within the Rivals250 isn’t a lot a knock on him because it was different prospects transferring forward of him. The USC commit has competed like loopy this offseason and continues to get higher and higher. Keep in mind, Lewis reclassified up from the 2026 class so he’s solely had two years of highschool soccer, whereas the remainder of this class has had three.
That being mentioned, Lewis is on the smaller aspect and doesn’t seem to have way more room to develop. He does throw with loads of energy and accuracy within the camp setting and he dominates on Friday nights. Lewis has a really excessive flooring and it could be foolish to assume he isn’t among the best quarterback prospects on this class.

KEELON RUSSELL’S ASCENSION
A case could possibly be made that Keelon Russell had a greater offseason than any prospect within the nation. The Alabama commit confirmed up and competed at a ton of occasions and gained MVP practically each time he stepped on the sphere.
Russell moved up from No. 47 to No. 9 on this rankings replace after exhibiting off the arm expertise, dynamic throwing movement and constant accuracy of an elite quarterback. His footwork is far cleaner than anticipated and he’s used to competing towards elite competitors throughout the season. Russell has gone towards robust defenses week after week and has loads of expertise throwing towards robust defenses.
Has Russell completed his stand up the rankings? We’ll have to attend and see how this season goes.

IS THERE ANOTHER FIVE-STAR QUARTERBACK?
With 4 five-star quarterbacks already, it’s a stretch to assume there could also be a fifth however there are just a few candidates to control.
Present Notre Dame commit Deuce Knight has displayed high-end athletic traits and he’s robust to cease when he’s at his greatest. Consistency and accuracy are key however Knight hasn’t proven that but.
Florida State commit Tramell Jones has been glorious at each occasion this offseason and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. In the previous couple of rankings updates he’s gone from No. 154 to No. 90 to No. 35. Jones isn’t probably the most bodily gifted quarterback however he’s nonetheless a five-star candidate relying on how this season and the all-star sport season goes.
Husan Longstreet, the Texas A&M commit, is one other quarterback with five-star potential however there are nonetheless some parts of his sport that must be refined.
