College football recruits in the Class of 2020 have truly gone through it all: the start of the NIL era, the rise of the transfer portal, countless coaching changes, multiple rounds of conference realignment, a pandemic and now the end of amateurism in college athletics.
Four years later, it’s time to review how college football’s highest-rated recruiting classes panned out. While philosophies on roster building have dramatically shifted and the portal has made it easier to make up for recruiting misses, strong talent evaluation and development are still essential for competing at the highest level.

The purpose of this annual project is to find out which programs are doing the best job of identifying great players, keeping them in their program and winning with them. We have previously re-ranked the classes of 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015 and 2014. This year’s revised top 25 includes 11 classes that did not finish in the top 25 in the 247Sports Composite team rankings on signing day, which means 11 fell out of the top 25: Texas A&M (then No. 6), Auburn (7), Oklahoma (12), Oregon (13), North Carolina (14), Washington (17), Nebraska (20), Stanford (21), Florida State (22), Arizona State (24) and Kentucky (25).
The scoring system for grading these classes is a 0-to-5 scale inspired by the recruiting industry’s star system. We are grading scholarship players and walk-ons who earned scholarships, based on what they’ve achieved over four years, not what they might do in the future.
5 points: All-American, award winner, top-50 NFL Draft pick
4: Multi-year starter, all-conference honors
3: One-year starter or key reserve
2: Career backup
0: Minor or no contribution
Because class sizes vary, we focus on class average (total points divided by total signees) with a bonus added to each class based on its four-year record. The attrition rate listed counts all signees who left school due to transfer, grad transfer, dismissal, ineligibility or injury. Players are graded by their contribution regardless of whether they transferred.
One obvious takeaway from this year’s cycle: The impact of the portal was severe. The average attrition rate for 2020 recruiting classes was nearly 60 percent. Class scores were down significantly. Last year, 18 classes finished with a grade of 2.50 or better. This year, only two did. How is that possible? It’s simple: There were a lot more zeros than usual.
Which programs did the best job of finding, retaining and developing difference-makers? Here is our re-ranked top 25 for the Class of 2020.

Georgia
After finishing with the No. 1 recruiting class on signing day, Kirby Smart reminded reporters to have some patience: “This class will be judged based on how they finish, not where they rank right now, which is not any concern of ours.”
These blue-chip players signed up to help the Bulldogs finally make good on their championship ambitions. Four years later, they’re the winningest senior class in school history and two-time College Football Playoff national champs. When you keep stacking elite recruiting classes like Smart did, eventually that pursuit becomes undeniable.
For the third year in a row, Georgia finished No. 1 in our re-rank. This program-changing class had an extremely high hit rate with its 11 top-100 signees. In fact, the five-stars – Carter, Jones, Ringo and Washington – are already playing in the NFL. In an ultra-competitive year for in-state prospects, Georgia got Jones and several key players to stay home while also plucking big-time national recruits out of Florida (Carter), Louisiana (Van Pran), Arizona (Ringo), Las Vegas (Washington) and California (RB Kendall Milton, WR Jermaine Burton).
McConkey was one of the great finds of the cycle, a zero-star recruit from Chatsworth, Ga., who was likely heading to FCS Chattanooga before Georgia offered in late January. The 2024 second-round pick is one of eight NFL Draft picks from this class so far, with several more to come.
This was the cycle in which Georgia signed Wake Forest grad transfer Jamie Newman and USC transfer JT Daniels to try to solve its question mark at quarterback after Jake Fromm went pro. Beck didn’t flinch and patiently waited three years for his chance to start. He’s expected to be a first-round pick next year and could be the first QB selected. Beck is one of five 2020 signees who opted to stay in school and chase a third CFP title ring as fifth-year seniors.
Offensive line was another key need for this class, and Georgia was able to hold onto its commits after losing position coach Sam Pittman to Arkansas late. Jones and Van Pran proved they were ready to start as redshirt freshmen, and Ratledge developed into an All-SEC performer.

Alabama
These guys kept the streak alive: Every recruiting class that played for Nick Saban at Alabama won a national title. This class helped win it all in 2020 and played for another title in 2021.
Saban signed two of the absolute best players in the cycle: Young, the Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall pick, and Anderson, the two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year who went No. 3 overall and was NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. Alabama found eight multi-year starters in this class and seven more who earned starts during their time in Tuscaloosa.
Sixteen members of the signing class eventually transferred, but there were several gems in that group as well, including LB Drew Sanders (third-round pick) and WR Javon Baker (fourth-round pick).

Michigan
Michigan’s recruiting classes of 2018, 2019 and 2020 all finished in the top three in our re-ranks, and Jim Harbaugh’s staff found many studs in the next two classes as well. Stacking a bunch of classes that are expertly evaluated and developed is what it takes to build up a Playoff contender and eventually a national champion.
Corum rushed for 3,737 yards, most among all Power 5 backs from the 2020 class, and a school-record 58 touchdowns during his remarkable career. Zinter blossomed into a unanimous All-American. Jenkins, Wilson and Harrell joined them in becoming NFL Draft picks. DL Braiden McGregor and DBs Makari Paige and R.J. Moten also developed into starters for the Wolverines. Together, they proved it’s possible to win it all without five-stars and top-five classes on signing day.

Ohio State
Ryan Day’s first full recruiting cycle as Ohio State’s head coach is highlighted by five-stars who lived up to the hype in Stroud, Smith-Njigba and Johnson. It’s easy to forget now with Stroud dominating in the NFL, but the Rookie of the Year was a three-star recruit at the end of his junior year whose recruitment didn’t blow up until he won Elite 11 MVP. His signing day decision to pick Ohio State was a crucial win for Day.
This class also featured transfer RB Trey Sermon, who led the Buckeyes in rushing during their run to the national title game in 2020. The defensive recruiting misses have hurt, but Ransom, LB Cody Simon and DL Ty Hamilton are returning starters for 2024.

Transition classes are usually tough. The early signing period and the transfer portal make building a good initial class even tougher. Eli Drinkwitz and his staff aced the assignment with this class, yielding a lot of hits who helped lead an 11-win season in 2023.
Cook was a longtime commit Drinkwitz inherited and should be one of the SEC’s top QBs this season. But Abrams-Draine was a late get, a former Ole Miss commit who developed into an All-American. Rakestraw, a second-round draft pick, was a key signing day victory over Alabama and Texas. Drinkwitz also landed some helpful transfers in this cycle with OL Michael Maietti and WRs Keke Chism and Damon Hazelton.

The Hawkeyes have few peers when it comes to evaluating and developing talent. This class featured four four-star signees but is loaded with three-stars who became studs for Kirk Ferentz and his staff. Van Ness, the No. 1,063 prospect in his class, went pro after his redshirt sophom*ore season and was the No. 13 overall pick in 2023. Higgins was No. 1,646 in his class and racked up 171 tackles in an All-America season in 2023. Taylor, an unranked prospect from Australia, became one of college football’s all-time great punters and holds several NCAA records.
This group has played in two Big Ten title games together and is not done leaving a legacy. The Hawkeyes have nine signees from this class back for a fifth year in 2024, including returning starters Higgins, Lachey, Richman, RB Leshon Williams, OL Logan Jones, DL Yahya Black and DL Deontae Craig.

Clemson
Dabo Swinney’s highest-rated recruiting class, assembled while the Tigers were defending national champs, had five five-stars and 10 top-100 signees. Murphy (first-round pick), Bresee (first) and Simpson (third) lived up to expectations as three-and-pro studs. Uiagalelei’s college career didn’t play out like that, but the two-year starting QB is now back in the ACC at Florida State. Parks is coming back from injury but has been a 28-game starter for the Tigers.
There was more attrition than usual for a Clemson class with some highly touted misses (RB Demarkcus Bowman, WR E.J. Williams, CB Fred Davis II) among the 13 signees transferring out of the program, though five did leave as grads.

This class signed to play for Gary Patterson and succeeded under Sonny Dykes, helping lead the Horned Frogs on an improbable run to the CFP title game to cap the 2022 season. Seven signees were impact starters on that 13-win squad, and four have become NFL Draft picks.
Johnston led the way as a first-round pick after consecutive All-Big 12 seasons. Miller was overshadowed by five-star Zach Evans in this class but developed into a star and a third-round pick. Patterson inked several more talented players who departed during the coaching change, including Evans, LB Khari Coleman and OL Tyler Guyton, who became a first-rounder at Oklahoma.

Tom Herman’s final recruiting class at Texas wasn’t as highly regarded as the No. 3 classes in 2018 and 2019 but featured several stars who helped Steve Sarkisian get the program rolling to a Big 12 title and CFP semifinal in 2023. Robinson was everything Longhorns fans hoped and more as an All-American, Doak Walker Award winner and top-10 pick. Ford and Barron emerged as two of the Big 12’s best defenders.
Fourteen members of the class departed via the portal, including touted QB Hudson Card transferring to Purdue. But Barron, Majors, Collins and DL Vernon Broughton are back for Year 1 in the SEC.

Former coach Ed Orgeron and his staff closed on this top-five class during their 2019 national championship season. They pieced together a solid haul on defense with eight players who earned starts for the Tigers and several standouts on the D-line. Cox, a one-year portal pickup from North Dakota State, impressed in the SEC and became a fourth-round pick.
But it’s no surprise this class had a lot of attrition. Five-stars TE Arik Gilbert and CB Eli Ricks didn’t stay long in Baton Rouge and are among the 17 signees who transferred. The two QBs inked in this cycle, Max Johnson and T.J. Finley, are still in college after multiple transfers.

Pratt was the No. 99 quarterback recruit in his class coming out of Deerfield Beach, Fla., and proved to be a program changer for Willie Fritz. The AAC Offensive Player of the Year and seventh-round draft pick built an incredible college resume, leaving as the Green Wave’s all-time leading passer after 44 starts with a conference title, a Cotton Bowl upset of USC and a top-10 finish followed by an 11-win senior season.
Tulane had by far the best retention rate among the top 25 classes in this year’s re-rank and got a ton of production from this group. Fritz inked 17 players in this class who started games for Tulane and helped lead a stunning turnaround from 2-10 to 12-2 in 2022.

Watts enjoyed an incredible breakout season as a Nagurski Award winner and unanimous All-American in 2023. He’s back for his fifth year along with four members of this class.
The Irish also found impactful one-year transfers in WR Ben Skowronek and CB Nick McCloud for their 2020 squad that played for an ACC title and reached the CFP.

Fillinger, another late flip who was pledged to Texas, has become a 27-game starter. Vaughn flipped from FCS Lamar to Utah on signing day, joined as a walk-on and has earned 24 starts. Kincaid was an FCS transfer from San Diego and developed into a first-round pick.
This signing class also featured RB Ty Jordan, the Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year who tragically passed away in 2020.

The biggest story of the cycle was the dramatic pursuit of Burch, the five-star who ultimately chose to stay home. He spent three years at South Carolina before transferring to Oregon. Lloyd and Bell transferred, too, and just became NFL Draft picks. Punter Kai Kroeger was a first-team All-American in 2022. WR Jalen Brooks, an FCS transfer, was a good find who also got drafted.

Five members of this class (Evans, Tinsley, Simpkins, RB Noah Whittington and kicker Brayden Narveson) have transferred to Power 5 programs, but they helped WKU win a lot of games and play for a conference title in 2021 before moving on.

Many of the lowest-rated three-stars in this class ended up being the biggest contributors. Ford and Scott got drafted, and many others have transferred out since Fickell left for Wisconsin, but Gerhardt did stick around and will be a three-year starter.

Jones, a USC transfer, was a dynamic playmaker who earned SEC Special Teams Player of the Year honors. Cade Mays, another key transfer pickup from Georgia, was an All-SEC performer and draft pick.

Brooks, a three-star signee, ranked No. 4 nationally in rushing yards (1,538) last season and is poised for another All-Big 12 season. Rogers, a 42-game starter, is the Big 12’s most experienced returning lineman.
Though 22 members of the class exited the program, many of them were not misses. The Red Raiders inked QB Donovan Smith, who’s now starting at Houston, in this class and found another three-star steal in WR Ja’Lynn Polk, who thrived at Washington and just became a second-round pick.

Forbes developed into an All-SEC cover man who was the No. 16 overall pick in 2023. Richardson, Griffin, Wheat and WR Jaden Walley all became quality multi-year starters.

All this group did was achieve three Top 25 finishes, win two of the final three Bedlam games and play for two Big 12 titles. As usual, Mike Gundy and his coaches hit on their in-state and Texas recruiting and won with a class featuring just one four-star.
Presley and Owens were two of the Big 12’s best wideouts last season and are back for more in 2024. Sills, a West Virginia transfer, was an invaluable leader and All-Big 12 performer for their 12-win squad in 2021. The Cowboys did lose some good ones to the portal in Cobb (USC), CB Jabbar Muhammad (Washington/Oregon) and RB Dominic Richardson (Baylor), but it didn’t set them back.

The lowest-rated 2020 recruiting class in the Big 12 has proven to be a transformative one for Kansas. Les Miles’ staff deserves plenty of credit for sharp evaluations, and these players deserve credit for sticking around after an 0-9 season in 2020 and Miles’ abrupt exit.
Lance Leipold and his coaches have worked their magic with this crew. They developed Daniels, the No. 128 ranked QB in his class, into one of the Big 12’s top playmakers. Arnold, Cabeldue, WR Luke Grimm and RB Daniel Hishaw Jr. have helped him establish an explosive offense. Bryant, a two-time first-team All-Big 12 pick, and Dotson are an excellent duo at corner.
They’ve led a stunning turnaround over the past three years culminating in the Jayhawks’ first winning season (9-4) and first bowl victory since 2008. Eleven members of this class returned as fifth-year seniors for 2024, including seven who’ve started 20-plus games, and have this program poised for another huge season in 2024.
