The top 10 quarterbacks in the 2026 college football recruiting class are officially off the board following four-star Landon Duckworth‘s pledge to South Carolina on Friday. Six are bound for SEC programs, three for Big 12 schools and one for the ACC.
Duckworth, a 6-foot-3, 195-pound athletic specimen from Jackson (Ala.) High, committed to South Carolina over Auburn in a closely contested recruiting battle. He ranks as the third-highest-rated quarterback to join the Gamecocks in the modern recruiting era (since 2000), trailing only Stephen Garcia (2007 class) and Ryan Hilinski (2019).
The 2026 recruiting class is headlined by a star-studded group of quarterbacks, with five passers earning five-star status in the latest Top247 update, matching the highest number in a single class since 2020.
