Commitments have slowed with the start of college football season, but action on the recruiting trail never stops, as proved by several teams being able to strengthen their classes and climb in the rankings.
The biggest mover was Texas, which took a defensive approach to catapult itself from outside the top 10 into the top five. The Longhorns added four ESPN 300 defensive line prospects, led by in-state top-10 DT Jaray Bledsoe, an explosive and agile big man with a high ceiling for development. The future SEC member also went deep into the conference's recruiting footprint to pull ESPN 300 DE Justice Finkley, a powerful and technically sound defender who should be a quick contributor, out of Hewitt-Trussville in Alabama.
