The Jackrabbits have turned their attention to the 2026 recruiting class. Coach Jackson and staff put together a strong 2025 class so I am excited to see what they can do given a full cycle to build relationships with recruits and their families.  This list will continue to be updated as new players commit throughout the cycle and into signing day.

For our recruiting tracker this yearthe Jackrabbit Illustrated team is partnering with Prep Redzone due to their unrivaled coverage of high school prospects in our region.
