"The early signing period is entering the horizon and the heat is turning up on the 2026 recruiting cycle in the final weeks of the college football regular season. Atop the 2026 class, multiple programs are stepping up their efforts to flip five-star Maryland defensive end commit Zion Elee, ESPN's No. 2 overall recruit. The 2026 wide receiver market, led by Penn State decommit Davion Brown (No. 109 overall), is bubbling, too."
"The five-star pass rusher from Baltimore has remained locked in with the Terps since Elee publicly closed his recruitment in February, but as Maryland sits at 4-5 with uncertainty swirling over head coach Mike Locksley, there could be movement in Elee's process before the early signing period. "It's been shaky [with Maryland]," Elee told ESPN. "Things are stirring. They're not really having the season they were supposed to have, so coaching changes might happen... Right now, the communication is kind of dry.""
The early signing period (Dec. 3-5) approaches and recruiting activity is ramping up across the 2026 cycle. Multiple programs are pushing to flip five-star Maryland defensive end Zion Elee as Maryland endures a 4-5 start and coaching uncertainty. Miami, Ohio State, Ole Miss and Texas A&M are set to host coveted flip targets in Week 12 and are expected to be active late in the cycle. The 2026 wide receiver market is active, with Penn State decommit Davion Brown leading a bubbling receiver group. Only 19 days remain before the early signing window.
