The college football ranks differ entirely from just five years ago, and social media plays a massive part. The NIL deals have wholly changed the landscape of the recruiting game, and things will be insane in 2026.
Recent 5-star recruits in college football have included the likes of Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young, Myles Garrett, and even Travis Hunter, to name a few. And it now looks like we could add another stud to this list.
The current list of 5-star college recruits includes one of the most intriguing prospects of all time by the name of Immanuel Iheanacho. He hasn’t yet decided on a college to head to, but Oregon may be a frontrunner, and the NIL money he could make would be insane.
Recently, a video of the hulking 6-foot-7, 350-pound tackle has gone viral, and fans are saying the same thing about his crazy frame and potential to make a college and NFL roster.
𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: 16-YEAR-OLD Immanuel Iheanacho is a 6-foot-7, 350-pound, 5-star tackle who graduates high school in 2026.

After all is said and done, wherever he chooses to go, he will threaten the defensive line everywhere. If he does play a solid college game, he will 100 percent earn himself a number one overall suggestion.
