The SEC and Big Ten are tied atop the list, each earning the pledges of seven preseason team members. LSU and Georgia lead the SEC with two commitments each, with the Tigers gaining commitments from Wakulla (Crawfordville, Fla.) QB Feleipe Franks and IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) DB Saivion Smith and the Bulldogs commitments from Lake Stevens (Wash.) QB Jacob Eason and McEachern (Powder Springs, Ga.) DT Julian Rochester.
Meanwhile in the Big Ten, with little to no surprise, Ohio State leads with four commits in DePaul Catholic (Wayne, N.J.) RB Kareem Walker, St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) DE Nick Bosa, Gahanna Lincoln (Columbus, Ohio) DE Jonathon Cooper and LaSalle (Cincinnati, Ohio) P Drue Chrisman.
The ACC comes in second with four commitments, as Miami (Fl.) gained two pledges from Oakleaf (Orange Park, Fla.) LB Shaq Quarterman and St. Thomas Aquinas WR Sam Bruce, Clemson picked up Spartanburg (S.C.) ATH Tavien Feaster and Florida State landed Ocean Lakes (Virginia Beach, Va.) DB Levonta Taylor.
The Big 12, Pac 12 and AAC bring up the rear, each earning one recuit from the preseason squad. Independent powerhouse Notre Dame also gained a verbal commitment.
Paramus Catholic (Paramus, N.J.) DT Rashan Gary, Allen (Texas) OT Greg Little and Wake Forrest (N.C.) DT Dexter Lawrence, the top three recruits in the Class of 2016 according to 247Sports Composite, are all still uncommitted and up for grabs.
