Summer isn’t officially here yet, but it might as well be. Graduations are happening all over the country, and high school recruits are free for a summer full of visits and camps. The recruiting calendar usually turns well before the ink is dry the previous cycle, but for the casual fan this is the time of year when your eyeballs really track toward the next year’s class.

In this case, we’re now looking toward the 2019 recruits.

While quarterbacks and skill talent dominated last cycle, this 2019 group is heavy on talent in the trenches. Seven of the top 10 players in the 247Sports Composite are either offensive or defensive linemen, and you won’t find a QB until No. 42 in the rankings.

Since the 2019 cycle is still fresh in a lot of eyes without the name-recognition that comes with high-profile skill players, 247Sports is using this week’s Thursday 10 to look at the top 10 uncommitted prospects headed into the summer.

These recruits range from game-changing defensive ends to the offensive tackles tasked with stopping them. It’s a list that also includes 10 of the top 14 recruits in the country. Prospects are committing earlier than ever with the accelerated calendar, but there’s still plenty of intrigue remaining heading into the summer.

Leaning on the expertise of 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong, let’s take a look at where the recruitments of the top 10 uncommitted prospects stand.
