The National Signing Day gave us a mostly correct picture of where the programs stand after landing some of the best high school prospects in the country. Schools such as Texas, Oregon and Georgia have had a great recruiting cycle and are at the top of almost every recruiting ranking in the country as of Wednesday.

Many of the Class of 2025 athletes signed their enrollment letters, with the country's top programs bound to improve after the day.

Let's take a look at the top 10 schools in the recruiting rankings through Wednesday afternoon, as per 247Sports.

2025 recruiting rankings

#10, Florida

The Florida Gators had a fantastic run in the climax stage of the recruiting cycle. The Billy Napier-led team landed 11 commitments in 15 days and jumped into the top 10 of the 247Sports' team rankings.

Florida's latest signees include four-star recruits Hylton Stubbs, Jayden Woods, Ty Jackson and Tramell Jones. The Gators did not land any five-star recruits but were successful in acquiring 13 four-star prospects.

#9, LSU

LSU made headlines for the wrong reasons down the stretch of the recruiting cycle. The Tigers lost the commitment of the No.1 prospect, quarterback Bryce Underwood, to the Michigan Wolverines. However, that did not stop them from cracking the top 10 of 247Sports' team rankings.

Brian Kelly and company have landed 23 signees this year. DJ Pickett is the only five-star recruit on the Tigers' roster, but the program acquired 16 four-star recruits.

The Texas A&M Aggies had a great run in the recruiting cycle this year. The program landed 25 signees and was active throughout the process.

#7, Michigan

Sherrone Moore and the Michigan Wolverines landed the biggest recruit of them all as they managed to flip Bryce Underwood from the LSU Tigers. The five-star quarterback's acquisition helped the Wolverines establish themselves.

Michigan has landed 22 signees so far. Among those 22 athletes, two are five-star prospects, whereas 14 are four-star recruits. Underwood and Andrew Babalola are the two five-star recruits.
