Although the transfer portal has been a key part of making college football teams more competitive, high school recruiting is still massively important.
Even though high school players may not play in their freshmen year and contribute right away, it helps build the base for teams to have success in the future.
So, with most of the 2024 recruits being signed, let's take a look at the 10 schools with the best recruits.
