The 2026 class is just getting started with the recruiting process but there are already many storylines after every position. Today, we start a weeklong series breaking down the top players at each spot starting with quarterbacks:
With nearly 30 offers, Notre Dame and Oregon have emerged as the two front-runners for the prolific four-star quarterback from Newbury Park, Calif. The 6-foot-4 standout has also been serious about Michigan and now Ohio State has entered the picture with an offer.
Smigiel threw for more than 4,000 yards and 52 touchdowns this past season so he’s looking for a pass-first offense that fits his style. A trip to Columbus is expected but Smigiel is waiting first to talk with coach Ryan Day.

The early feeling on Curtis was that he was a near-lock to Ohio State and that could still be the case with the Buckeyes but Georgia is making a big move and now a whole bunch of visits will happen probably before a decision.
Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M and Alabama are all involved. Auburn and Notre Dame were mentioned over the weekend as possible visit destinations as well.

Folsom, Calif., quarterbacks are always going to put up big numbers because of its potent, pass-happy offense but Lyons went bonkers during his sophomore season and if he continues to prove it at national events this offseason, a big move up in the rankings might be warranted.
Lyons threw for 3,578 yards with 38 touchdowns and eight picks and also rushed for 929 yards and 23 more scores. He reminds us of an even more talented Jaxson Dart at the same stage.
His brother, Walker, signed with USC before his LDS mission but many others will be in the mix as his recruitment takes shape. Oregon, USC, Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas A&M, Georgia and BYU are all in play.
