Week 10! of the NCAA, and the landscape is heating up. Non-ranked teams are pulling off back-to-back wins, while ranked teams are fighting hard to secure their spots in the playoffs. As the race for the national championship gets tougher, the recruiting process for the new season is also gaining significant attention. Even prominent football programs are facing challenges in attracting top recruits.

Performance on the field is crucial for every program aiming to secure the best athletes for their teams. Four-star safety Jordan Young is going to be under the radar for the programs. On the 25th of October, he announced that he would reveal his new home for the new season on the 2nd of November. Lock the dates! Insider Josh Newberg and TV personality Hayes Fawcett discuss how Young’s decision could significantly impact the recruiting landscape for these programs as they aim to strengthen their rosters for the future.

As one of the top uncommitted recruits, all eyes are on the four-star safety’s decision. According to On3 Young considering four schools: Michigan, NC State, Florida State, and Clemson. In the latest episode of On3 Recruit, Fawcett shed light on Young’s visits so far. He strongly believes that the rising talent will consider NC State and Clemson. “Jordan Young is one of the top uncommitted recruits in the 2025 class. Has the commitment they set for November 2? If I had to, you know, put my finger on it, say it’s between NC State and Clemson. Like you mentioned.”

Young has previously visited Michigan twice but has made more frequent trips to Clemson and NC State, which gives those programs an advantage in his recruitment. While Michigan remains in the mix, head coach Moore and his staff will need to make a strong impression during his upcoming visit to enhance their chances of landing him on their team.

“We’ll see if Michigan can do something with this visit, and maybe his emerge. Michigan will emerge higher and improvement, but in my opinion, those are the two teams to watch ahead of his November 2.” Players like Young are very rare and play on both sides. Looking at Michigan’s current state, they badly need players who will step up for them whenever the team is in trouble. Now the big question is, can Moore and his staff make a positive impact on Young?

Current status of Michigan, Clemson Tigers, and NC State

The defending champions, Michigan, have experienced a challenging season filled with ups and downs. Head coach Sherrone Moore is working hard to get the team back on track after suffering two consecutive defeats in recent weeks. However, the Wolverines made a strong comeback this past Saturday, defeating their rival Michigan State 24-17. But is that enough to convince Young to be part of their team? Will Michigan’s performance against a key rival play a significant role in his decision-making process?

On the other hand, they have tough competition in the Clemson Tigers. Yes, the unranked team is standing tall with a 6-1 record. Kudos to Dabo SSwinney and his staff. If we take a closer look at their winning streak, they have dominated their opponents. Except for their recent victory over Virginia 48-31. They have also defeated NC State, which wants Young in their squad. With their victory against NC State, they showed that they were the strongest among other programs.

Coming to NC State, however, Young has visited the program twice. NC State is struggling badly this season. So far, they have played eight games but could win only four out of them. On October 19, they tried to make a comeback against California and won with a narrow margin of 24-23. Moving ahead every single game is crucial, and the football programs need to pull off their socks if they want to get one step closer to the playoffs. Nov 2! Where will Young land?
