OTF Premium Updated Rivals Top 100 2026 Texas Football Targets

I really hope Lee's parents realize that is a long flight to Ann Arbor.

Jermaine Bishop being ranked 275th by Rivals is absolutely comical. Do they have any idea what they're doing over there? Maybe it saves us some NIL money, though lol

What were the changes in their rankings?

Dia Bell was ranked # 8 QB and # 59 overall after their June 2 re-rankings.

No one does a worse job than Rivals of ranking players - they had TJ Shanahan the # 1 player in Texas and a 5* nationally a few years back, far higher than any other service, and that's about the time that 247 and On3 quit assigning Rivals a 25% slice of their Composites.  I think 247 now weights them 10% or something.

Here's a screen grab from their site this morning re: Dia.  I think they play 'follow the leaders' when it comes to reranking their mistakes late in the cycle.

But now it's On3's staff driving it I believe... 

#93: Malakai Lee, OT (Michigan)
 

Hope Texas is ready to pounce once those Michigan sanctions come through. No idea why any recruit is committing to Michigan while their investigation/punishment is still looming.

Except Rivals is now part of On3 which does a much better job.

Jermaine Bishop disagrees

Only reason they got it right with Dia is because they would have lost all credibility being the only site not having him as the number 1 QB. The rest of the list is trash. Rivals is a joke.

There’s some other bad evaluations also but they should be better going forward.

Dropping 200 spots without any real games being played is crazy.

Anyone dropping more spots than "5 star" Felix Ojo is crazy.

Derrek Cooper falling from 12 to 123 is pretty insane too. There are not 7 RBs better than him in this class.
