Advertisement Five-star Tristen Keys, the No. 1 receiver in the Rivals250 out of Hattiesburg (Miss.), is one of the overall headlining talents competing in Indy.

Storylines to follow during June's third huge visit weekend
It's another huge June visit weekend and Rivals national recruiting director Adam Gorney takes a look at 10 major storylines coming over the next few days. RUMOR MILL: Finalists beginning to crystallize for top prospects CLASS OF 2026 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State CLASS OF 2027 RANKINGS: Rivals250 | Team | Position | State TRANSFER PORTAL: Full coverage | Player ranking | Team ranking | Transfer search | Transfer Tracker RIVALS CAMP SERIES: Rivals Five-Star heading back to Indy | Rivals Five-Star roster | Schedule/info LYONS GOES TO EUGENE It's another big recruiting weekend at Oregon. That is commonplace for the Ducks but the biggest target is five-star quarterback Ryder Lyons. The Folsom, Calif., quarterback who visits Oregon this week and then BYU next weekend and then should have a decision, has a phenomenal relationship with offensive coordinator Will Stein, who has made it clear all along that Lyons is the big fish they want in this class. Advertisement Five-star edge Anthony Jones, four-star cornerback Davon Benjamin and many others are headed to Oregon but the Ducks get one final shot with Lyons and it's a big one because the Cougars are a real contender here. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH OREGON FANS AT TEXAS A&M HAS A LOADED LIST Five-star lineman Lamar Brown and five-star receiver Ethan 'Boobie' Feaster are the headliners - and the Aggies lead for both of them - but Miami seems to be intriguing Brown heavily along with staying home at LSU and others aren't giving up on Feaster, either. But many more are coming to College Station. Texas and LSU have an edge for four-star running back KJ Edwards so this weekend will be huge for the Aggies there. Many believe Auburn leads for four-star edge Jaquez Wilkes but some people close to him love Texas A&M's position with him. It's going to be a huge weekend in College Station with a lot of elite talent all in the building. Advertisement SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH TEXAS A&M FANS AT OJO AT TEXAS AMONG OTHERS Five-star offensive tackle Felix Ojo has done his Midwest swing through Ohio State and Michigan and both Big Ten powers have impressed him. This weekend will be for Texas to close on the in-state standout as the Longhorns have been the front-runner for a while and even though they've been tested, still look like the team to beat. It's another busy weekend in Austin. Ojo is the marquee name but Dre Quinn, Xavier Griffin, Samari Matthews, Jake Kreul and a whole bunch of other top targets will be there. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH TEXAS FANS AT ALABAMA TAKES ITS SHOT It's not a massive list coming to Alabama this weekend but it's an important one. The Crimson Tide probably trail for five-star athlete Brandon Arrington but he knows that staff well and definitely is coming with an open mind about his recruitment as Oregon, Texas A&M and others battle it out. Advertisement Plus Alabama will be looking to flip some top prospects. Miami running back commit Javian Mallory and Florida State linebacker commit Karon Maycock are expected along with four-star linebacker Nick Abrams, who has the Crimson Tide in his top four, among others. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH ALABAMA FANS AT MASSIVE WEEKEND AT AUBURN Quality over quantity is the name of the game at Auburn this weekend. Four-star quarterback Landon Duckworth, who narrowed his recruitment down to the Tigers and South Carolina, is coming back again as the intrigue continues there. He said this week it doesn't matter that Jackson Arnold and Deuce Knight are in the QB room and that the NIL situation is fine so Auburn is a real contender. Advertisement But he's not the only big dog coming to The Plains. Five-star receiver Cederian Morgan will be there as Auburn battles Alabama and others for him along with four-star defensive back Bralan Womack and No. 1 running back Ezavier Crowell (another top Alabama target). Some top commits who are flip targets - receivers Devin Carter and Denairius Gray and Shadarius Toodle - will be there, too and re-recruiting them will be important. BIG OPPORTUNITY IN GAINESVILLE Another impressive group of prospects heads to Florida this weekend as some are leans to the Gators, some are already committed, some are flip targets and some are long shots. Four-star linebacker Izayia Williams, who has had five commitments including one to Florida but is now committed to Ole Miss, will be back. Big-time four-star tight end Kaiden Prothro, who has Georgia and Auburn high, will be there. So will four-star running back Carsyn Baker, who has had Florida as the favorite although FSU impressed him, is coming. It's a big weekend for many reasons as Florida coach Billy Napier tries to keep the momentum going. Advertisement SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH FLORIDA FANS AT 1ST AND TEN FLORIDA WORK TO DO AT GEORGIA Five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson has been all over the country and each coaching staff has designed a plan for how they're going to use him in their defense. Now it's coach Kirby Smart's turn and he's the best at this game. That's a big visitor but there are plenty of others. Four-star slot receiver Vance Spafford will be there as the Bulldogs look to hold off Miami especially but also Washington and others for him. And let's not forget five-star Derrek Cooper, who was committed once to Georgia for about two minutes, but has always held the Dawgs in high regard. It's a great group coming to Athens. MICHIGAN BRINGING IN THE BIG GUNS Savion Hiter. John Turntine. Chase Calicut. Kenneth Goodwin. It's a huge weekend in Ann Arbor as there are top targets on both the offensive and the defensive sides of the ball and the Wolverines could make up a lot of ground in some recruitments this weekend. Advertisement For Hiter, there has been a lot of talk about Ohio State and Tennessee for him so this weekend will be big. Turntine and Calicut are leaning to stay in Texas so those could be tough. But Michigan and Oregon have emerged as the front-runners for Goodwin so that will be one to watch. There are many other top recruits coming as well. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH MICHIGAN FANS AT BIG TARGETS AT NOTRE DAME One week after having tons of elite underclassmen on campus for the Irish Invasion, Notre Dame brings in an excellent group of 2026 prospects led by pass-catching targets Kaydon Finley, Devin Fitzgerald, Preston Fryzel and Evan Jacobson. Advertisement The Irish are battling Penn State and Texas for four-star offensive lineman Grayson McKeogh, who will be back in South Bend. Major defensive back target Joey O'Brien will also be there as the Nittany Lions, Oregon and others are high on the list with his decision only days away, too. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH NOTRE DAME FANS AT TENNESSEE BRINGING IN BIG TARGETS Five-star LSU receiver commit Tristen Keys is expected back at Tennessee, which was a front-runner at one point in his recruitment. After visiting Ole Miss last weekend, Alabama pledge Zyan Gibson will be in Knoxville. Four-star Texas receiver pledge Chris Stewart is also expected there. Advertisement Take those top prospects and then add Tristian Givens, TJ White and some others on defense and coach Josh Heupel has another big weekend coming to Rocky Top. It would be even bigger if the Vols could flip some of those committed players. SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS WITH TENNESSEE FANS AT
