Movement in College Football Team Recruiting Rankings for 2025 (2024)

It feels like college football recruiting gets earlier and earlier with each recruiting cycle that comes through.

Earlier this week we shared stories here at Fighting Irish Wire about Notre Dame making their first scholarship offer to a young man in the 2028 recruiting cycle. Before you spend time doing the math, just trust us that is a kid who is just entering his freshman year of high school.

As much as college football has changed with the transfer portal in recent years though, the foundation of a team is still built on recruiting and development.

As we enter the dog days of the college football calendar, the final couple of months before fall camp begins and the regular season kicks off, we’ll take a closer look at how recruiting classes in the coming years are shaping up.

Today we check out the 2025 team recruiting rankings and find that there has been a lot of movement since we last checked them out on May 20.

See who checks into the top 40 team rankings (247Sports composite) below and how those rankings have changed since May 20.
