Key takeaways
- Miami was a key mover as it pushed into the top-five with multiple four-star additions.
- Clemson failed to meet expectations in 2025, but Dabo Swinney is showing that the Tigers can still be a key presence on the recruiting trail, kicking off June with a handful of commitments and debuting in the top 10.
