25. Texas Longhorns: B+



After securing the nation's No. 3 recruiting class in 2018 and 2019, with multiple 5-stars both years, the Longhorns have taken a step back with the No. 11 class in the country. There is plenty of reason for excitement with 5-star running back Bijan Robinson (No. 15 recruit) and 4-star dual-threat quarterbacks Hudson Card (No. 57 recruit) and Ja'Quinden Jackson (No. 73 recruit) leading the incoming crop.

No. 24: UCF Knights: C-



Despite reaching double-digit wins for the third straight season, the Knights were once again unable to land a top-50 recruiting class. Their 20-player haul is made up entirely of 3-star recruits and checks in at No. 72 nationally, which is on par with where they ranked in 2018 (62nd) and 2019 (60th). Ja'Cyais Credle is their top recruit, and he ranks No. 813 overall and No. 126 among wide receivers in the 2020 class.

No. 23: Boise State Broncos: D



For the first time since 2017, the Broncos have slipped outside the top 60 with a class that currently ranks No. 63 nationally. Wide receiver LaTrell Caples (No. 647 recruit) headlines a class of 18 3-stars as the Broncos look to continue a streak of 21 straight seasons with at least eight wins.

No. 22: Air Force Falcons: B+



After ranking 122nd in 2018 and 110th in 2019, the Falcons have the No. 97 class in the 2020 recruiting cycle. With 14 3-star recruits among a 31-player class, they should be well-positioned to build off an impressive 11-2 season that landed them in the AP poll for the first time since 2010.

No. 21: Cincinnati Bearcats: A



The Bearcats have the top class in the AAC and the No. 53 class nationally, which represents a significant improvement over a year ago when they ranked 79th in the nation and seventh in the conference. Dual-threat quarterback Evan Prater (No. 176 recruit) is the highest-rated recruit the program has landed since 247Sports began grading prospects in 2010, and outside linebacker Jaheim Thomas (No. 337 recruit) gives them a second 4-star in this cycle.
