1. San Diego State* (1)
Commitments: F Austin Brummett (New York Red Bulls – No. 30), D Tristan Viviani (San Jose Earthquakes – No. 31), M Ty Reynolds (FC Dallas – No. 54), F Calvin Fodrey (San Diego Loyal – No. 75), F Berin Droemer (Solar SC – No. 78), M Dylan Presto (LAFC – No. 89), M Alex Borsos (Houston Dynamo – No. 106), M Javier Camargo (San Diego Loyal), M Reid Fisher (Slammers FC), M Lorenzo Hernandez (De Anza Force SC)
The Aztecs have a firm grip on the top spot. Several players will get pro experience this year, including Viviani, Fodrey and Presto. Bringing in talent on paper is one step, the next is getting the most out of it on the field. Brummett is the most recent addition, and he’ll join the top class in the rankings.
2. Wake Forest* (2)
Commitments: D Cooper Flax (NYCFC – No. 24), D Vladimir Walent (Colorado Rapids – No. 42), D Samuel Jones (Philadelphia Union – No. 59), F Nicholas Rabiu (New York Red Bulls – No. 122), GK Devin Armstrong (Tampa Bay United Rowdies), M Alec Kenison (Columbus Crew SC)
Transfers: F Sidney Paris (Navy)
The ACC side always trends toward the top of the rankings, and this year’s class is no different. Flax is slated to follow in the footsteps of NYCFC Academy grads Nico Benalcazar and Prince Amponsah on the roster. Adding Paris is a great boost to the team’s attacking talent.
3. Notre Dame* (3)
Commitments: D Mitch Ferguson (Portland Timbers Academy – No. 38), F Wyatt Borso (Pittsburgh Riverhounds – No. 50), M Daniel Boateng (Santa Barbara SC – No. 76), M Kelvin Baffour (Black Rock FC – No. 82), M Sebastian Green (Black Rock FC), F Nicholas Legendre (Colorado Rapids)
The Irish recently confirmed this class, which adds quality from around the country. It will be needed with several standouts departing for the pro ranks.
