10 teams sign multiple five-star recruits for first time in more than a decade

The NIL and revenue-sharing has created unprecedented parity in college football recruiting, spreading elite talent to more programs than at any time in the past 10-15 years. Compared to the prior era, more than double the amount of teams are signing five-star recruits in a given year in most cases.

But it’s not just about signing one five-star; for the first time since 2015, there are double-digit teams who signed a Rivals Industry Ranking five-star in 2026 — 10 in fact. It marks another remarkable data point as players spread out to take advantage of early playing time, more NIL and revenue-sharing money, or some combination of both.

Below are the 10 teams who signed at least two of the country’s top-32 players in 2026:

The Rivals Industry Ranking is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all three primary recruiting media services. The Rivals Industry Ranking is the industry’s most advanced, complete, and unbiased measurement.

The Rivals Industry Ranking equally weights the primary recruiting media services. For football, the algorithm is weighted as follows: Rivals (33%), 247Sports (33%), and ESPN (33%).
