December has become the biggest month of the recruiting cycle with the Early Signing Period becoming the de-facto National Signing Day. Dec. 3 is the date for the 2026 class.

A wicked in-season coaching carousel and some big high school campaigns has seen a slew of decommitments and flips this fall. There are still a few prominent quarterbacks that remain uncommitted with NSD less than a month away.

Of the top 100 QBs in the 2026 cycle — according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies — nine are uncommitted. That includes a pair of four-stars.

Below are those nine uncommitted signal-callers, where they rank and who’s in the mix for their pledge down the stretch:

Tradon Bessinger

School: Davis (Utah)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 233 NATL. (No. 16 QB)
About: Putting together one of the most impressive seasons in Utah high school football history, Bessinger really blossomed as a recruit this fall. He was committed to Boise State for over five months, but backed off that pledge last month after taking an official visit to Iowa. Bessinger will also take an official visit to BYU next weekend. He’s now the most coveted arm on the market.

Troy Huhn

School:Mission Hills (Calif.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 242 NATL. (No. 19 QB)
About: Huhn was committed to Penn State for over 15 months, but was one of the many to come back on the board after the Nittany Lions fired head coach James Franklin. The four-star is keeping a close eye on where Franklin lands for his next gig, while Stanford is a program that’s working to keep Huhn in-state at the next level.

Jayvon Gilmore

School:Ridge View (S.C.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 470 NATL. (No. 29 QB)
About: Gilmore was committed to Arkansas for over a year, but he decommitted in September and has kept a quiet recruitment since. He began the year at Gaffney High, but withdrew from the school right around the time he decommitted from the Razorbacks. Gilmore reportedly enrolled at Ridge View but has not posted any stats or highlights this fall. North Carolina, Georgia Tech and Arizona are among the schools that have previously offered Gilmore.

Kaneal Sweetwyne

School:Skyridge (Utah)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 872 NATL. (No. 52 QB)
About: Sweetwyne was committed to in-state BYU early on but he came back on the board ahead of his senior season. Playing for one of the top programs in the Beehive State, Sweetwyne has been focused on his final year at Skyridge. Utah has been in the mix for his pledge while NC State also emerged this fall.

Nelson Peterson

School:Forney (Texas)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 1,012 NATL. (No. 62 QB)
About: The 6-foot-3, 200-pound gunslinger is still on the board late in the cycle while playing for a top-25 team in the Lone Star State. Peterson has notched offers from Texas Tech, UTEP, Sacramento State, Wake Forest, Utah State and UTSA. The Red Raiders had him in Lubbock for an official visit this summer, but Peterson’s recruitment has been quiet since.

John Johnson

School:Edna Karr (La.)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 1,182 NATL. (No. 70 QB)
About: Leading the way for the top-ranked team in Louisiana and one of the most notable high school programs in the South, “Hollywood” Johnson is a former Liberty commit. The 6-foot senior just decommitted from the Flames on Wednesday. Washington State is the latest to offer, doing so last month.

Ziondre Williams

School:Anna (Texas)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 1,214 NATL. (No. 77 QB)
About: An impressive dual-threat weapon, Williams led Anna to a 7-3 regular season. He’s also performed well on the summer 7v7 circuit in the past. He has offers from UTSA, Southern Miss, UTEP, Missouri State and others.

Grant Smith

School:Grand Oaks (Texas)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 1,554 NATL. (No. 95 QB)
About: Smith is a four-year starter at the high school level and has quarterbacked Grand Oaks to six wins so far this fall. He threw for over 2,000 yards as a junior. He has garnered Power Four interest and was trending toward Kansas State this summer. Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Arkansas are among his other reported offers.

Romin Seymour

School:Ridge Point (Texas)
Rivals Industry Ranking: No. 1,566 NATL. (No. 97 QB)
About: Transferring to Ridge Point for his senior campaign, Seymour is amidst an undefeated season as the Panthers gear up for the playoffs at 10-0. The 6-foot-5 QB has great size, has been impressive on Friday nights in the Lone Star State and currently holds offers from Baylor, Colorado, Mizzou and others.

Earlier this week, we shared game predictions based on the Massey Ratings for the biggest high school football games of the weekend. Today, Rivals national high school sports reporter Andy Villamarzo makes his picks:

Summer Creek (TX) at North Shore (TX)

When: Friday, Nov. 7, 8 p.m. ET
Where: Turner Stadium, Houston, Texas

The best game down in Texas takes place when Summer Creek (8-1) faces off against North Shore (8-1) in a massive Lone Star State tilt. Both offenses have been sizzling this season, with Summer Creek is averaging a cool 53.7 points per game and North Shore at 52 a tilt. One of the defenses will need to make a play, but we have little doubts that this game won’t just turn into an offensive explosion between the two high-scoring offenses.

Prediction: North Shore 49, Summer Creek 48

Hoover (Ala.) at Phenix City Central (Ala.)

When: Friday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. ET
Where: Garrett–Harrison Stadium, Phenix City, Ala.

The Alabama Class 7A playoffs feature a bundle of really good first round games and this one is easily one of them when Hoover Buccaneers head over to Phenix City to take on the Central Red Devils (9-1). Hoover (6-4) has seen its offense be an up-and-down unit, but the Bucs own an impressive victory over Thompson during the regular season. The only loss Phenix City Central has had all season long came against No. 1 nationally ranked IMG Academy. We’ve got to ride with the home team on this one.

Prediction: Phenix City Central 40, Hoover 35

Bryant (AR) at Conway (AR)

When: Friday, Nov. 7, 8 p.m. ET
Where: Centennial Bank Field at John McConnell Stadium, Conway, Arkansas

Arkansas high school football doesn’t get the limelight much, but when they do, it usually involves the Bryant Hornets (9-0). Bryant makes their way over to face Conway Wampus Cats (8-1) for the regular season finale in what should be one of the best games in the Mineral State. The Hornets most challenging game was a 31-14 win over Newton of Georgia. Conway certainly has the talent to compete, but at the end of the day, there’s a reason why Bryant continues to own the state of Arkansas annually.

Prediction: Bryant 49, Conway 28

St. Augustine (La.) at John Curtis (La.)

When: Friday, Nov. 7, 8 p.m. ET
Where: Shrine on Airline, Metairie, La.

St. Augustine (8-1) meeting John Curtis (7-1) has to be like the Spiderman meme with both teams pointing at each because of their recent losses to Edna Karr. The Purple Knights have a potent offense that trots out a couple Division I prospects at wide receiver in junior four-star Miguel Whitley (35 catches, 655 yards) and three-star Ray’Quan Williams (26 catches, 562 yards). Though the Patriots are plenty capable of scoring the football themselves, we just think St. Augustine is going to be too much at the end of the day.

Prediction: St. Augustine 28, John Curtis 20

Vestavia Hills (Ala.) at Auburn (Ala.)

When: Friday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m. ET
Where: Duck Samford Stadium, Auburn, Ala.

Another AHSAA Class 7A high school football playoff game in the Yellowhammer State this week that should be plenty good is when Auburn (8-2) and Vestavia Hills (8-2) clash. Both teams have impressed throughout the season, with each going into the playoffs on winning streaks. The Tigers are riding a three-game streak and the Rebels on a five-game winning streak. Vestavia Hills defeated Auburn earlier in the season, 42-14.

Prediction: Vestavia Hills 30, Auburn 24

American Fork (Utah) at Skyridge (Utah)

When: Friday, Nov. 7, 9 p.m. ET
Where: The Nest, Lehi, Utah

This UHSAA Class 6A quarterfinal matchup between Skyridge (9-2) and American Fork (7-4) is a rematch from the regular season, with the victory going to the former, 26-14. Both teams have contrasting styles of play as Skyridge looks to throw the ball more through the air and American Fork looks to keep the ball on the ground. The Falcons are on a mission to reach the 6A state championship and they get over a hurdle here on Friday night against the Cavemen.

Prediction: Skyridge 35, American Fork 17

Hamilton (Ariz.) at Chandler (Ariz.)

When: Friday, Nov. 7, 10 p.m. ET
Where: Austin Field, Chandler, Arizona

Hamilton (9-0) has looked nearly unstoppable offensively by one of the top Class of 2028 wide receivers in four-star talent Roye Oliver, who has hauled in 62 passes for 1,400 yards and 25 touchdowns. Chandler (8-1) lost their only game back in Week 2 of the season against Cathedral Catholic, but has reeled off seven straight victories. This Arizona regular season finale is easily the best game on the docket down in the Grand Canyon State.

Prediction: Hamilton 52, Chandler 28

St. Thomas More (Conn.) at Hun School (N.J.)

When: Saturday, Nov. 8, 1 p.m. ET
Where: The Hun School Athletic Complex, Princeton, N.J.

Hun School (7-3) and St. Thomas More (1-2) are both a couple of the best teams in their respective states. When looking at the last time the Chancellors played was back on Oct. 24 and it’s only the fourth time they’ve played this season against a Raiders group that just lost to IMG Academy last week, 31-13. St. Thomas More will look to 2026 four-star EDGE Alhassan Iddrissu to get after Hun School three-star quarterback Lukas Prock and create havoc.

Prediction: Hun School 31, St. Thomas More 14

St. John’s College (D.C.) at Gonzaga (D.C.)

When: Saturday, Nov. 8, 2 p.m. ET
Where: Buchanan Field, Washington, District of Columbia

One of the country’s most unique stadiums in Buchanan Field well play host in the nation’s capital between St. John’s College (6-3) and Gonzaga (5-4). The Cadets are coming off a 28-7 win over Bishop McNamara and look to make it consecutive wins since losing to DeMatha Catholic, 23-20, back on Oct. 24. The Eagles’ defense is loaded on the defensive line, led by Michigan commit Carter Meadows and Penn State commitment Tyson Harley. If last year’s meeting tells us anything, this will be a defensive slugfest between the D.C. powers.

Prediction: Gonzaga 16, St. John’s College 14

Kahuku (Hawaii) vs. Kapolei (Hawaii)

When: Saturday, Nov. 8, 10 p.m. PT
Where: John Kauinana Stadium, Mililani, Hawaii

The first-ever Oahu Interscholastic Association (OIA) Open Division title game will feature Kahuku (7-3) against Kapolei (7-4). Kahuku is one of Hawaii’s most winningest high school football programs as they started off with a 20-0 loss to St. Louis, but ended up winning seven of their next nine games. Only other two losses for the Red Raiders came against nationally ranked Bishop Gorman (Nev.) and Mater Dei (Calif.) as they’ve defeated all other Hawaii-based opponents, including Kapolei in a 21-7 decision. We give the Raiders the edge in this one as they come away with Hawaii’s first Open Division title.

Prediction: Kahuku 25, Kapolei 16
