Recruiting Rumor Mill: Top underclassmen descend on San Antonio
Four-star safety Trey McNutt, an Ohio State legacy, is not looking to rush the recruiting process.
2026 ATH Chris Hewitt (Calvert Hall - MD)
Hewitt, the son of Baltimore Ravens defensive pass game coordinator Chris Hewitt, has a lengthy offer sheet but at this point Maryland, Penn State and Rutgers are in the best position. The game day atmosphere of Penn State stood out to him. Hewitt likes the proximity to home at Maryland. His father coached at Rutgers for more than six years before taking a job with the Ravens so his familiarity with coach Greg Schiano and the Scarlet Knights program is working in their favor. Hewitt wants to learn more about the Wisconsin program. He was close with that coaching staff while they were at Cincinnati. He also wants to visit programs like Michigan, Miami and USC.
2025 ATH Matthew Outten (Norcom - VA)
Virginia Tech is in the best position with Outten right now. The Hokies will likely get him on campus later this month. Penn State is also pushing to get Outten to visit this month. At Virginia Tech, he really likes the coaching staff and feels like they are turning the program around. South Carolina, Liberty, Old Dominion, Duke, Pittsburgh and Tennessee are also in pursuit.
2025 WR Lyrick Samuel (Erasmus Hall - NY)
Samuel has seen his stock steadily rise over the last few months. Penn State, Rutgers, Syracuse and Michigan State have extended offers but there are dozens of other programs involved in his recruitment. Tennessee stuck out to wide receiver from Brooklyn. Samuel mentioned he'd like to visit LSU. His interest in the Tigers stems from his admiration of Odell Beckham Jr.
