Live Updates: Latest recruiting buzz and intel from On3 Elite Series check-in

On3, the market leader in the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) space, will once again host the On3 Elite Series, an invite-only educational seminar discussing the new era of NIL and navigating life after football for elite 2025 football prospects in Nashville, Tennessee.

The purpose of the On3 Elite Series is to educate and inform high school athletes how to safely and successfully navigate the NIL era. On3 Elite will bring in former college and professional athletes, marketing executives, legal and financial experts, and other relevant voices to a private two-day event designed for 50 top high school football recruits, along with their parents, from the class of 2025.

On Tuesday, athletes will check in throughout the day once they arrive into Nashville, and will talk to media from across the recruiting and NIL space. On3’s Steve Wiltfong, Chad Simmons, and more will be providing live updates, intel and the latest recruiting buzz from the event.

Follow along below for updates from each of the elite prospects who will be in attendance:

11:40 a.m. CT: Two schools have the edge going into OVs for Vernell Brown III, he says. He has a July decision in mind but is still finalizing a date. FSU and Florida have had the buzz around them on my end. — Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting

11:34 a.m. CT: Five-star Tennessee QB commit George MacIntyre feels good about where the Vols stand with Lagonza Hayward, Jaelyne Mathews and David Sanders. — Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting

11:31 a.m. CT: Uncommitted five-star WR Kaliq Lockett has some of the more unique dimensions among skill players we’ve measured at 6’1.5, 175 with elite length — 33.5-inch arms and the biggest hands thus far at 10.25 inches. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

11:30 a.m. CT: USC five-star QB commit Julian Lewis said he’s locked in with USC right now, but out of the next three (Auburn, Colorado and Indiana) he made it seem like Colorado is best positioned and he loves Boulder. “Colorado is the biggest name popping right now!” — Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting

11:24 a.m. CT: With Notre Dame QB commit Deuce Knight, he says Ole Miss is the biggest comp for the Fighting Irish. He goes to ND after the Elite Series and then his OV on June 14. ‘Bama and Ole Miss are in regular contact. Talking to Colorado some too, but he went on record that Ole Miss is the school behind ND, but he is still strong with the Irish. — Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting

— Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

11:10 a.m. CT: Elite 4-star Missouri QB commit Matt Zollers says he is still in communication with Bama, Pitt and Penn State. But not often and says it more out of respect for those programs. He says he is “locked in” with Mizzou. — Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting

10:35 a.m. CT: Five-star athlete Michael Terry III says if he had to commit today, it would be Nebraska.

“That’s the only OV I went on. They really set the bar high. They showed me a lot of companionship and open arms since I got there.” — Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting

Oregon, Texas A&M, Texas among the others very much in the mix.

10:27 a.m. CT: Four-star EDGE Chad Woodfork says recent official to TCU set the bar but he’s excited for LSU on June 14 and Texas Tech on June 21. — Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting

10:09 a.m. CT: Five-Star Plus+ Ohio State CB commit Devin Sanchez checks in at 6’2, 180 with a 6’5.5 wing-span. He’s how you draw them up physically at cornerback. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings

10:06 a.m. CT: FSU has the edge for elite four-star linebacker Tavion Wallace. He says Georgia and Florida are closing the gap. Arkansas is in it too, but not expected to be a contender when he commits on July 15. He grew up Florida fan and says FSU and Florida are doing a great job with his family as well. — Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting

9:30 a.m. CT: Simmons and Wiltfong have both logged expert predictions for Texas to land 5-star WR Jaime Ffrench in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM).

9:07 a.m. CT: “Texas is No. 1. LSU is No. 2. Miami is No. 3,” says Jaime Ffrench. — Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting

9:06 a.m. CT: Five-star wide receiver Jaime Ffrench says Texas is still his No. 1 school. He will likely commit in August, with Miami, Ohio State and Tennessee still in the mix. But there is a gap between them and the Longhorns heading into OVs. He will also visit LSU this weekend. — Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting

8:52 a.m. CT: Notre Dame is “setting the pace” for 4-star safety JaDon Blair, he says. Michigan and Penn State are right behind them on his list.

8:50 a.m. CT: Five-star safety Trey McNutt says he is likely to take his recruitment into the season. He said he is “enjoying process,” and he wants to make right decision. — Chad Simmons, On3 Director of Recruiting

8:45 a.m. CT: Five-star safety Trey McNutt taking an official visit to USC this weekend and Florida next weekend. I like where Oregon stands. Also high on Ohio state, A&M, Georgia. Gators need to make up ground. He will release other OVs later. His mom wants him to take a visit out to Colorado at some point as well. — Steve Wiltfong, On3 VP of Recruiting

8:43 a.m. CT: JaDon Blair is a jumbo safety, measuring at 6’4.5, 195 with a 33-inch arm. He’s one of the bigger framed defensive backs in the 2025 cycle. — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
