Three predictions: State Ohio, Illinois’ 2026 Class, Cincere Johnson

Given all the talents that State Ohio He loses after his state title, is wild for thinking that he would be preseason no. 1. BUKEYES MUST REPLACE He wants Howard, There was a delay, Jack Sawyer, Cody Simon and several other starters.

But the coach Ryan Day Of course, he built a childbirth, who started former five stars and four stars. Attacker Julian Sayin waits on wings to take off offense. Will be thrown on Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. Besides, the team added a narrow end Max Clar On the transfer portal and he will be direct weapons. There are also young players ready for both the defense step.

But big cares (at least currently) loses the defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. It is attached to Penn State For a record contract and we don’t know yet who will replace it. In addition, it is very difficult to repeat in today’s football world at the faculty. Boukeke will be among the favorites next year, but at this point I would take the field.

Illinois He was a fascinating program for monitoring in the early stages of recruitment in 2026. years. After the 10-win season of Illine last year and win the game South CarolinaThere is a lot of buzz that surrounds the program. But that’s not just victories that helped.

Trainer Bret Bielema And his staff is tirelessly working behind the scenes for the construction of relations. Especially in the state and down in Florida. Ilini so far have a solid class and are a large position with four star Nasir Rankin, JC Anderson and Cam Thomas. This could be a historical year of employment for Illinois.

There are some elite programs after Johnson Cincere. GospinaOhio State, Alabama, Texas A & M and Oklahola Everyone is strongly involved in him while we prepare for an official visit season. Johnson was in Oklahoma, 25. January, and Alabama will host him to start February. But I put an early future in favor of state bouques.

Johnson is looking for development production and elite production line when he thinks about his top programs. Buckeyes offer that they are close to the house and go from the national championship. Trainer Ryan Day And his staff has recruited Johnson and it’s hard to see him turning the program.
