Fact or fiction: Trammel Jones should be in the five-star discussion

Presently of 12 months, the official go to season coincides with the elite camp season, which after all is interspersed with commitments and decommitments. Nationwide competitor analyst Marshall Levenson seems to be on the community of those checkpoints with the assistance of Rivals Nationwide Recruiting Director Adam Gorney, nationwide recruiting analyst greg Smith in addition to OUInsider.com Brandon Drum within the newest Reality or Fiction.

Gorny: FACT. There are at the moment three five-star quarterbacks in Julian Lewis, Bryce Underwood and Tavien St. Clair, and based mostly solely on the Elite 11, Jones ought to be in that dialogue as nicely. We do not need to focus an excessive amount of on only one occasion because the rankings are a marathon, not a dash, however Jones was phenomenal through the Elite 11 Professional Day on Wednesday night time and was good all through the remainder of the week. Whereas we do not need to go overboard with five-star quarterbacks or some other place, Florida State’s board has definitely executed sufficient to not less than be part of that dialogue, if no more.

Levenson: FACT. Ever since I acquired my first have a look at Jones again in February, he is been certainly one of my favourite quarterbacks on this class. His inventory solely rose all through his OT7 performances and is now skyrocketing in my thoughts after Elite 11. He is already within the prime 100 so I see him once more in A five-star rival will give all opponents a entrance row seat with their expertise. There is not one specific facet of his recreation that stands out past the elite, however the general bundle is without doubt one of the finest passing video games within the nation. He’s a kind of who I definitely vouch for as a prime 30 potential shopper.

Smith: FACT. We have already moved previous the query of “Ought to St. Clair be a 5 star” after giving it 5 stars in our final score replace. However the extra everybody will get to see Ohio State commit in particular person, the extra seemingly he’ll be one of the best quarterback within the nation.

He seems to be like 1,000,000 bucks (6-4, 228) and seeing him throw the ball with energy and accuracy makes it simple for him to get on the desk. St. Clair may lay up the ball, making contact pictures widespread. He is additionally easy on the run, which is an neglected facet of his recreation.

Now we now have an actual debate about whether or not or not the Ohio native ought to be one of the best quarterback within the nation. It additionally places him within the dialog for one of the best participant within the nation.

Levenson: FACT. As of at this time, I would say Julian Lewis continues to be one of the best quarterback in 2025. However in lower than every week, there shall be an enormous analysis alternative in Jacksonville A five-star rival. Bryce Underwood may definitely take that spot sooner or later, however what we have seen of St. Clair in particular person and the superior means he continues to show makes a robust case to overhaul the pack.

The Ohio State commit has been certainly one of Rivals’ favorites all week on the Elite 11 Finals, and he’ll face Lewis once more in simply 4 days. St. Clair’s NFL-ready physique is only one piece of the puzzle that provides him a fantastic case, however the arm expertise and consistency of his dominance put him in prime place to get the nod when he outclasses the pack in Jacksonville.

Drum: FACT. Oklahoma could have a 2026 QB earlier than the season begins, however the query is who, proper? Will it’s a Rivals250 QB Dereon Coleman, who camped out at OU and confirmed one of many liveliest weapons I’ve seen strolling via OU Camp shortly. What concerning the Rivals100 QB Jayden O’Neill? He’s at the moment on campus and can spend 4 days in Norman earlier than he leaves. That is twice so long as he’ll be anyplace else, and he advised me this week he plans to announce in mid-to-late July or August. Clearly after all of the visits.

Then this is the Rivals150 QB John Williams. He’s “supposed” to camp at OU subsequent week, however a closing date has but to be set. Nevertheless, the Sooners additionally look like a prime vacation spot for Williams (supplied on his OU unofficial website this spring), so there are definitely choices for the Sooners OC Seth Littrell.

All advised, it looks as if Coleman and O’Neal are the closest to a choice, and each really feel that Oklahoma may lose a bit. Nevertheless, I will say that four-star Jayden O’Neal is the quarterback to observe heading into July. There appears to be a mutual affinity for the Sooners and O’Neal. If we’re referring to O’Neal’s resolution earlier than fall camp, it seems to be like Oklahoma will get their man earlier than the season begins. No less than that is how I really feel up to now.

I’ve a Rivals Future position for Coleman and O’Neill. Nevertheless, I really feel like O’Neal is trending proper now and suppose will probably be executed earlier than the season begins if issues keep trending like they’re now.

Levenson: FACT. Drumm actually does a fantastic job of speaking concerning the choices right here, so I am going to simply add that each one the excitement surrounding the Sooners in latest weeks has been round Jaden O’Neal. He is taking a number of visits, together with latest visits to Michigan and Ohio State, in addition to a camp at Oklahoma simply final week.

The highest-100 prospect was the most effective campers in Norman this summer time, so it would not be shocking if the Sooners put all their chips on him. They produce other choices if they need, like Coleman and Williams, however I’ve a FutureCast on O’Neal and really feel assured with that choose. O’Neal stated he needs to make a dedication resolution from his latest top-10 earlier than the season. I anticipate Oklahoma to be the answer.
