Oklahoma, Miami and UCLA are the frontrunners for 2026 4⭐ QB Jaden O’Neal (CA), his QB coach Ortege Jenkins told me. O’Neal picked up a Bruins’ offer on his this week with upcoming trips to USC (March 23), SMU (April 5), Baylor (April 6) and Oklahoma (April 9). Michigan State, Texas and Arizona State are among the other programs reaching out consistently with 6-7 unofficial visits coming over the next few months.

2025 3⭐ QB Jett Niu (UT) told me he’s looking to commit at the end of spring ball following a long string of visits. His visit schedule includes Appalachian State (March 23), Arkansas State (April 4), Boise State (April 6), Arizona (April 11), Washington State (April 13) and Oklahoma State (April 26-28). The Cowboys are the only official visit mentioned, and they seem to be in a good spot for Niu.

2026 3⭐ QB Derek Zammit (NJ) told me he’ll visit Syracuse this weekend after landing a half-dozen power conference offers within the last two months. Zammit’s spring visit schedule also includes North Carolina (April 2) and Wake Forest (April 4). He’ll see Illinois for its spring game on April 20 with an unscheduled trip to Rutgers.
