It’s time to rank the top 20 boys in the high school class of 2027 after their junior year.
As college recruiting has reached earlier and earlier into high school classes, we’re continually expanding our recruiting ranks and coverage. Last spring, we ranked out the then-sophomore class. This is essentially a re-rank of that class, taking into account a year of improvements. Stay tuned to our recruiting channel for more additions to our yearly recruiting coverage:
Girls & boys ranks for current juniors – high school class of 2027 (updated rankings from our “Way Too Early” rankings last spring) Way Too Early ranks for current sophomore girls & boys – high school class of 2027 Re-Rank of outgoing senior girls & boys – high school class of 2025Further reading:
Way Too Early NCAA Recruiting Ranks: High School Boys Class of 2027 (as ranked last spring)So without further ado, let’s take a look at this class as a whole, then review our ranking methodology and get into our rankings.
THE METHODOLOGY
Our goal in these rankings is to reflect what college coaches look for in recruits, based on many years of conversations and coverage.
We focus only on American-based athletes, simply because there is so much uncertainty with international recruits – if they’ll come to the United States, when they’ll come to the States and with what graduating class they should be ranked. Projecting international recruits often becomes more of a discussion of when they’ll first join a college program and not which program they’ll join.
A few other factors that weigh heavily in our rankings:
Relay Value – Relay points count double in college swimming, and any program needs a strong stable of quality sprinters to fill out all 5 relays with stars. Obviously, a special distance swimmer can easily rank ahead of a very good 100 freestyler, but college swimming generally values a sprint freestyler over a distance swimmer, all other factors being equal. Improvements – Actual times carry the most weight by a long shot. But we also keep an eye on a swimmer’s trajectory, especially in deciding between two swimmers with relatively even times. Short Course over Long Course – while every club and every swimmer will have a different balance of focus between short course and long course swimming, the NCAA competes in short course yards, and that’s going to be the main factor considered in these rankings. Long course times are another data point for consideration, but we mainly view them through the lens of what a big long course swim could mean for an athlete’s future in short course. NCAA scoring ability – NCAAs are the big show for college teams, so we’ve weighted NCAA scoring potential very highly. Swimmers who already have NCAA scoring times wind up mostly filling out the top of our rankings. Since college athletic directors – and by extension coaches – also place high value on conference championships, scoring ability at conference meets is also a factor in our rankings. Relative depth in the NCAA and recruiting class – a wealth of elite depth nationwide in one stroke discipline makes a big difference in what times are considered more valuable in that event. Events rise at different rates in the NCAA, but when one event gets extremely deep and fast at the college level, it makes high school prospects in those events a little less valuable, relatively, with lots of other veteran options. In the same way, a recruiting class stacked with swimmers in butterfly, for example, would make each butterflyer a little less sought-after in the market, with lots of other recruiting options able to provide similar production.Of course, there’s no way to predict the future, and the most concrete data we have to go on are cold, hard times. These rankings in no way mean that all of these 20 swimmers will be NCAA standouts, and they certainly don’t mean that no swimmer left off this list will make big contributions at the NCAA level.
THIS CLASS
Some real stars at the top A lot of immensely versatile swimmers Fly and back are very strong in the 200, less so in the 100 Few real stroke sprinters near the top of the class A lot of strong IM swimmers, generally in tandem with at least one other elite strokeLuka Mijatovic would be #1 in nearly any class in history, but there are several swimmers just below him in these rankings who are already looking like serious stars. Collin Holgerson and Jackson Davis are NCAA Championship-level backstrokers, while Luke Vatev and Hayden Vicknair are elite do-it-all swimmers.
There are four swimmers under 15:00 in the mile already, with three of those fast enough to have scored at NCAAs last season. There is also an abundance of elite relay-distance freestylers, whose value is already high, and multiple swimmers able to cross over between two or three strokes.
In both backstroke and butterfly the 200 is the stronger event, with no one under 46 seconds in the 100 of either stroke and only a handful under 47 seconds. Breaststroke has seen several swimmers take a leap forward this year, but only a couple have separated themselves from the pack. Again, the 200 looks slightly stronger for the majority of those swimmers.

With that out of the way, let’s get to our rankings.
Disclaimer: there are a lot of high school juniors in the country, and no really good, complete, 100% accurate listing of them all. If you don’t see your favorite swimmer on the list, feel free to politely point them out in the comments. There’s a chance that we disagree with your assessment of their spot in the top 20, and so long as it’s done civilly, there’s no problem with differences of opinions. There’s also a chance that we’ve simply missed a no-brainer (we’ve taken every precaution to avoid that), and if that happens, we want to make sure we correct it.
BEST OF THE REST
In the Best of the Rest section, we outline a few standouts who didn’t quite crack the top 20 or an Honorable Mention spot.
Verbal commitments are listed where they’ve been reported. Each of these athletes is still an extremely high-level recruit:

Jacob Bougaieff — Dad’s Club Swim Team — Strake Jesuit College Prep — Houston, TX **Verbally committed to Stanford**
Best Times:
100 breast: 53.65 200 breast: 1:55.33 200 IM: 1:46.58 400 IM: 3:52.40Bougaieff has had some solid drops in his three main events of the 100 breast, 200 breast, and 200 IM this season, and ranks in the top six in the class in both breaststrokes. He has sliced seven tenths off in the 100 breast to go from 54.36 to 53.65, ranking 6th, and dropped 2.55 seconds in the 200 breast after posting a 1:55.33 at Sectionals in March. His splitting is still geared towards the opening 100, with most of that drop (1.78 seconds) coming in the first half of the race, but that could be a good sign that there are significant improvements to be made once he figures out the back end.
Bougaieff has also turned his 200 IM into a solid third event with a three second drop, clocking 1:46.58 at the UIL 6A State Championships, which included a rapid 29.13 breaststroke split. His 400 IM hasn’t quite seen the same improvement and is a little weaker at 3:52.40, but he still has a nice NCAA schedule, some solid improvements, and some relay value for the medleys. There have been some encouraging signs in long course this summer too, as he dropped a couple of seconds in the 200 IM and looked solid in breaststroke at Junior Pan Pacs.
Allen Gyang – Sandpipers of Nevada – Faith Lutheran High School – Las Vegas, NV **Verbally committed to Michigan**
Best Times:
50 free: 19.93 100 free: 43.58 200 free: 1:35.69 400 free: 4:20.76With so many elite sprint freestylers in this class it is inevitable that some find themselves outside the top 20, and Gyang is one of those. He is fantastic from the 50 free up to the 500, breaking 20 seconds in the 50 free in December with a 19.93, and sliced nearly five seconds off his 500 time to clock a 4:20.76 in February.
He dropped nearly two seconds in the 200 free this season, with his 1:35.69 ranking him eighth in the class, and three quarters of a second in the 100 free to go from 44.31 to 43.58. Gyang could be a day 1 relay contributor at Michigan with those times, and, after some strong performances in long course this summer, looks primed to drop even more time in yards next season. A 49.55 in the 100 free is most enticing for him, faster than a lot of swimmers ranked further up, and a two second drop from 55.16 to 53.10 in the 100 fly makes that event likely to be one he explodes in next year. Right now he is a notch below the top 20, but he looks like one of the most likely swimmers to move up into it next year.
Alex Pletcher — Sea to Desert Swim Association — Point Loma High School— San Diego, CA **Verbally committed to Stanford**
Best Times:
50 free: 20.15 100 free: 43.70 200 free: 1:35.14 100 fly: 47.95 200 fly: 1:47.79 200 IM: 1:47.37Pletcher is another relay-distance freestyler, however he adds some solid times in fly and the 200 IM to the mix as well. He has a strong 20.15/43.70/1:35.14 split in the sprint freestyles, having dropped 0.49 seconds in all three events this season, which is the main reason for his ranking here, and could be a contributor on all three freestyle relays in college.
He adds a 47.95 in the 100 fly after dropping 1.28 seconds this season, and has sliced 1.22 seconds off in the 200 fly to clock 1:47.79 in February. A 4.59 second improvement in the 200 IM was due to a three second improvement on the second half of the race, and a 1:47.37 ranks him just inside the top 20 in this class. The 200 free is his best event, ranking him sixth, but that is a slight drop from last season and there are now plenty of swimmers with the same strengths as him in this class.
Owen Ekk — Area Tallahassee Aquatic Club — Lawton Chiles High School — Tallahassee, FL **Verbally committed to Stanford**
Best Times:
200 IM: 1:45.06 400 IM: 3:47.52 50 free: 20.38 100 free: 43.91 200 free: 1:37.00Ekk was a solid free/IM prospect when we ranked him last year, and in yards he has leaned more heavily into the latter this season. He has not dropped time in the 50 free or 100 free, and only shaved off 0.08 seconds in the 200 free, but has one of the better 200 IM/400 IM combos in the class. His freestyle times are still solid at 20.38 in the 50 free and 43.91 in the 100 free, but his 200 free now lags behind the top swimmers in this class. It is mainly his IM times that keep him in this category, having dropped 1.45 seconds in the 200 IM to go 1:45.06 and a whopping 17 seconds in the 400 IM to go 3:47.52.
In long course the story is similar, with some small improvements in freestyle although without the same IM improvements. He will need to drop more time in his main events next year to stay here.
Thomas McMillan — St. Charles Swim Team — St. Charles North High School — St. Charles, IL **Verbally committed to NC State**
Best Times:
100 fly: 46.52 (best in class) 200 fly: 1:45.58 100 back: 47.29 200 back: 1:44.16McMillan owns the fastest 100 fly time in the class at 46.52, but there is a cluster of 46-highs behind him and he doesn’t yet have a second event on the same level to differentiate him from the pack. He also has not dropped time in the event, with his season best standing at 46.85, and has stood still in the 200 fly as well with the only lifetime bests in main events for him coming in the 100 back and 200 back.
In the former he notched a 47.29 at Sectionals in March, a 0.16 drop from last season, but owns a best of 55.99 in long course – albeit from last summer – which should correspond to a yards time around a second or more faster. In the 200 he has sliced off three seconds to go from 1:47.49 to 1:44.16, which ranks him tenth in the class. His 100 back ranks him just outside the top ten, while he adds an additional top-ten ranking in the 200 fly.
The reason for his drop in the rankings, despite being one of the top back/fly swimmers in the class, is that the rest of those swimmers have shown more significant improvement this year and add value in other events, such as the 200 IM and the 50/100 free. McMillan is relatively weak in those, and his long course times this summer haven’t been massively encouraging for anyone hoping he’ll get over the hump. He could be a lot faster in yards than he showed this season, but right now is on the wrong side of the improvement curve.
Thi Rai – Bolles School Sharks – Bolles School– Jacksonville, FL **Verbally committed to Cal**
Best Times:
100 breast: 53.44 200 breast: 1:55.38 200 IM: 1:47.51Rai has had some serious drops in breaststroke this season to rank in the top six at the class in both distances, and after adding some big drops in long course as well this summer is a swimmer on the up. He has hacked 2.63 seconds off in the 100 breast, going from 56.03 to 53.44 with another three 53.5-point swims this season, while in the 200 breast he has dropped precipitously from 2:03.02 to 1:55.38, good for fifth in the class.
Continuing with that trend will see him crack the top 20 for definite next year, but he doesn’t offer much in other events yet. He has a solid 200 IM, again dropping big from 1:54.44 to 1:47.51, but his 400 IM is only just under 4:00. In long course he has sliced off three seconds in the 100 breast and six in the 200 breast, coming down to 1:02.83/2:16.73, and separates himself from his fellow breaststrokers thanks to that steep improvement curve.
Jackson Irwin – Sarasota Tsunami Swim Team – Sarasota High School – Sarasota, FL **Verbally committed to Texas A&M**
Best Times:
1650 free: 14:57.40 1000 free: 8:57.42 500 free: 4:23.23 200 IM: 1:49.72 400 IM: 3:51.58Irwin has just one top-tier event, but being sub-15:00 in the mile as a high school junior is no joke. He has dropped nearly 22 seconds this year to go from 15:19.04 to 14:57.40, one of four swimmers in this class to break 15 minutes, and has hacked nearly 18 seconds from his 1000 free time as well. His 500 free is a solid 4:23.23, just outside the top ten in the class but also a big drop from the 4:29.59 he came into the season with.
There is potential that the 400 IM becomes his third event after dropping four seconds this season down to a 3:51.38, but he was slightly slower in long course this summer than he was in 2025. He has dropped time in the freestyle events, most notably four seconds in the 1500 free and five seconds in the 800 free, but nothing quite as big as his improvements in yards. Bringing another event or two up to the same level as his mile will go a long way for him.
Luc Dionne –Nations Capital Swim Club – Walter Johnson High School – Bethesda, MD **Verbally committed to Virginia**
Best Times:
100 breast: 53.83 200 breast: 1:55.23 200 IM: 1:47.47 400 IM: 3:49.15Dionne is a typical breaststroke IM swimmer, and has had some big drops this season to rank in the top ten in the class in the 100 breast, 200 breast, and 400 IM. The 200 breast is his best event, with a lifetime best of 1:55.23, a 4.43 second drop for the season and he showed some very solid splitting at 55.62/59.61, and he has dropped a couple of seconds in long course this summer from 2:14.87 to 2:12.86.
He has also dropped 1.54 seconds in the 100 breast, posting a 53.83 in the heats at the NCSA Spring Championships, which ranks him tenth in this class. He was 54.07 in the final there, and also dropped time in long course from 1:03.55 to 1:02.62. His IMs have seen big drops too, from 1:50.00 to 1:47.47 in the 200 IM and 3:56.69 to 3:49.15 in the 400 IM, both unsurprisingly driven by strong breaststroke legs.
Outside of those four events he doesn’t really make it onto the radar, and his relay value is limited even for the medleys. However, a 200 IM/400IM/200 breast lineup looks like a solid one for him and he has been dropping time throughout the year, so he looks like a good bet to continue doing so in his senior season. Bringing his medleys down a little more will be key to differentiating him from the multiple other breaststrokers in the 53-high/1:55 range.
Top 20
20. Trent Allen — Carmel Swim Club — Carmel High School — Carmel, IN **Verbally committed to Florida**
Best Times:
200 free: 1:35.08 500 free: 4:17.04 1000 free: 8:51.55 200 IM: 1:47.34 400 IM: 3:46.20 200 back: 1:47.78Allen is a fantastic 500 freestyler, but comes down to the 200 free rather than go up to the mile. He does not even have a mile time on record, although an 8:51.55 in the 1000 free indicates that he should be solid if he were to swim it, but a 1:35.08 in the 200 free is 5th fastest in the class and adds to his #2-ranked 500 free.
He has dropped a couple of seconds in the 200, going from 1:37.07 to 1:35.08, and has had a slight drop in long course too this summer to go from 1:49.50 to 1:48.92. The 500 is his best event, and he has sliced nearly four seconds off to go from 4:20.88 to 4:17.04, a time which he swam in March at Four Corners Sectionals. Allen has five swims under 4:20 this season, clocking a 4:18.99 for third at Winter Juniors East, then posted times of 4:17.16 and 4:19.31 before a pair of 4:17s at Sectionals.
Some strong times in the IM events help him end up here, having dropped seven seconds in the 400 IM to rank sixth in the class. He is a little lower in the 200 IM, but 1:47.34 is still a solid time for a distance freestyler. He does have a slight issue for his college schedule currently, with all four of his main events coming on days 2 and 3, but he has some relay value for the 800 free relay and surely has a strong mile time in him, making that less of a concern.
19. Landon Hall – Atomic City Aquatic Club – Concord Christian School – Knoxville, TN **Verbally Committed to ASU**
Best Times:
100 breast: 52.80 200 breast: 1:56.27 200 IM: 1:45.91 200 fly: 1:47.88 50 free: 20.53Hall is the fourth-fastest 100 breaststroker in this class after dropping just over two seconds this year, and has dropped five and a half in the 200 breast to rank seventh. He has progressed immensely since we ranked him as a BOTR 12 months ago, and although there are quite a few breaststrokers in this class with similar times, he has a stronger 100 than most of them and his improvement curve is more acute as well.
He has not just had one big swim in each event this season either. Hall has broken 53.5 in the 100 breast four times, and has swum faster in the 200 breast every time he has raced it this year. His second 100 in the 200 has seen huge improvement, going from 1:02-high early in December to 1:00-mid in his PB swim. He ranks just outside the top ten in the class in the 200 IM after a 2.37 second drop, and looks to have some potential in fly after posting a 2:03.23 in the long course 200 this summer, a 2.69 second drop.
Hall’s 100 breast already marks him out as a relay weapon, and is one of only four in the class under 53 seconds. If he can add even more strength to his 200 breast and convert his long course 200 fly speed into yards, he could carve out a niche in these rankings. As it is, his improvements mark him out this year, but he will need to keep the time drops coming in his senior year.
18. Brayden Capen — Academy Bullets Swim Club — Marmion Academy — Lisle, IL **Verbally committed to Tennessee**
Best Times:
100 back: 48.41 200 back: 1:43.55 200 IM: 1:45.77 400 IM: 3:43.39 200 free: 1:37.48Capen was a back/IM swimmer when we ranked him last year, and although his backstroke has only improved slightly he has developed into one of the best two-distance IM swimmers in the class. He has shaved some time off in backstroke, going from 48.47/1:43.89 to 48.41/1:43.55, but has dropped over a second in the 200 IM and nearly five in the 400 IM to rank 4th in the class.
He has gone from 1:47.01 in the 200 IM to 1:45.77, with another four swims this season under 1:46.5, and from 3:49.38 to 3:44.39 in the 400 IM. That is within 2% of the 3:41.34 it took to qualify for NCAAs last season, and will already put him in scoring range for conference championships. All of his improvement came on the breaststroke leg though, which went from 1:07.57 to 1:02.21, which indicates that he should be faster than 2:00.91 in the 200 breast, but also that there may not be many further drops unless his other strokes improve as well.
He has dropped a little time in freestyle and fly, but his IM improvements are a little shakier than they appear – most of his drop in the 200 came on the freestyle leg – and he hasn’t dropped time in long course this summer. He has a decent NCAA schedule in the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 back, but doesn’t offer any relay value right now and looks in danger of stagnating next year.
17. Aidan Collins – DART Swimming – Cosumnes Oaks High School – Elk Grove, CA, **Verbally Committed to ASU**
Best Times:
100 fly: 46.79 200 fly: 1:44.69 200 breast: 53.66 200 IM: 1:48.95Collins is one of the best two-distance fly swimmers in the class, ranking fourth in the 100 and sixth in the 200, and adds the seventh-fastest 100 breast time as well. He has dropped significant time in all three events, and should have a lot of relay value for the medleys, even if his freestyle times do still lag behind a little.
He has dropped just under a second in the 100 fly, from 47.77 to 46.79, and a massive five seconds in the 200 fly. He set his lifetime best of 1:44.69 at Roseville Sectionals, the same meet at which he set his previous best of 1:49.40 last season, and still has room to drop on the final 50, which has only improved a few tenths. He has three swims under 1:46 as well this season, and has dropped from 2:05.16 to 2:02.95 in long course.
Collins has sliced two seconds off his 100 breast too, going from 55.69 to 53.66, and dropped a 1:02.47 in long course. While his freestyle times are not yet in relay-value territory, he split 20.02 in the 50 free and 43.90 in the 100 free at Roseville Sectionals, and was a second faster than his at-the-time best in the 100 fly with a 46.85 split at Winter Juniors. He figures to be a strong fly recruit who can cross over to sprint breaststroke, and has dropped a couple of seconds in the 200 IM as well this year.
16. Ben Jaggers – Waterloo Swimming – LC Anderson High School (Austin) – Austin, TX, **Verbally Committed to ASU**
Best Times:
100 back: 46.15 (best in class) 200 back: 1:44.65 50 free: 20.21 50 back (LCM): 25.03Jaggers has been on a tear this season, but is only really elite in backstroke and the 50 free. He has sliced 1.81 seconds off his 100 back time of 47.96, clocking 46.15 in March having already posted a 46.18 to win Winter Juniors East in December, and ranks third in the class in the event.
His long course times this summer are a good indication that he will continue to drop. He was 4th at Junior Nationals in 55.22, 1.44 seconds faster than his best of 56.66 from last season, and dropped a blistering 25.03 in the 50 back that was also a best time by over a second. He is the #2 swimmer in the class in yards in the 50 back too at 21.29, but that swim should make him even more of an asset for the 200 medley relay.
Jaggers has an obvious NCAA schedule based on his best events thus far. The 100 back is clearly his best event, but he has also dropped from 21.13 to 20.21 in the 50 free and from 1:47.79 to 1:44.65 in the 200 back. Outside of those three events his schedule is a little thin, although he did break 50 seconds in the 100 fly for the first time in March, going 49.48. Jaggers has a ton of growth potential though, having improved considerably over the past 24 months – two years ago he was 49.97 in the 100 back – and if his 200 back improves to the same level as his 100 he could be even higher up. There is a fair amount of stock placed in his long course times, but after big drops in yards after setting some lifetime bests by a similar amount last summer there should still be a considerable return.
15. Connor Christopherson — SwimAtlanta — Westminster School — Atlanta, GA **Verbally committed to Stanford**
Best Times:
50 free: 19.68 100 free: 43.39 200 free: 1:34.73 500 free: 4:19.57Christopherson is a freestyle specialist, and has improved in all four of his primary events this season. His range stretches from a 19.68 in the 50 to a 4:19.57 in the 500, and he is one of the most well-rounded freestylers in this class. He doesn’t add too much in other events, with a 1:48.78 200 fly the only event outside those four with any real potential right now, but with how valuable his main events are that isn’t much of an issue.
He is one of just three swimmers in the class to be sub-20 in the 50 free, sub-43.5 in the 100 free, and sub-1:35 in the 200 free alongside Hayden Vicknair and Luke Vatev, and neither of those two swim the 500 free. Christopherson has dropped from 20.11 to 19.68 in the 50 free, 44.24 to 43.39 in the 100 free, and from 1:35.55 to 1:34.73 in the 200 free this season, ranking fifth, fifth, and fourth in the class, respectively, He has also sliced off four seconds in the 500 free to rank seventh with a 4:19.57.
His long course swims this summer are incredibly encouraging as well. Coming into this year with bests of 23.50/51.31/1:50.31/3:55.83 in the 50/100/200/400 free, he has dropped time in all four to come out with times of 23.27/50.14/1:48.18/3:53.59. He was already a top-20 recruit last summer, and has doubled down on his strengths again this season. If everything previously wasn’t enough, he dropped some strong relay splits at Winter Juniors with a 19.26 in the 50 free and a 43.06 in the 100 free, at a point when his PBs were 20.08 and 44.03.
14. Colin Jacobs — Sarasota Sharks — Sarasota High School — Bradenton, FL **Verbally committed to Cal**
Best Times:
1650 free: 14:47.47 1000 free: 8:48.22 500 free 4:17.51 200 free: 1:37.99 200 back: 1:47.88 400 IM: 3:52.26Jacobs is a phenomenal distance swimmer, already owning a time fast enough to qualify in the mile at NCAAs. He would have tied for 16th there in March after dropping 14 seconds in the 1650 free this season, clocking 14:47.47 at Winter Juniors East to break 15 minutes for the first time. Another sizable drop in December came in the 500 free where he went from 4:22.39 to 4:17.51, the fourth-fastest time in the class.
His 1650 free is one of four under 15 minutes in this class, however his 1000 free is one of only two under 8:50. His 200 free does lag a little behind though at 1:37.99, and he does not yet have a clear third event in the NCAA schedule. A 3:52.26 in the 400 IM indicates that he could take the well-worn path of a 1650 free – 500 free – 400 IM lineup however, and his future teammate Ryan Erisman has seen success with that schedule at Cal in his freshman season.
Jacobs’ best times in yards all come from Winter Juniors East, due to him training with Club Nautique Antibes on the Côte d’Azur, but he was 3:52/7:55/15:06 in the 400/800/1500 free in long course last summer. Although he was a little off those times at French Junior Nationals earlier this year, he looks like an excellent distance pickup for Cal. He probably does need that third event to come through to move up any higher, with no real relay value and his strengths coming in events where both this class is relatively strong, and in which there have been a number of top recruits in the two preceding classes.
13. Jackson Hartzler – Cypress Fairbanks Swim Club – Bridgeland High School – Cypress, TX, **Verbally committed to OSU**
Best Times:
200 IM: 1:44.30 400 IM: 3:45.02 200 back: 1:43.98 200 free: 1:37.26 100 breast: 54.79 200 breast: 2:00.17Hartzler is already pretty much a pure IM swimmer, with his 200 IM and 400 IM some way ahead of the rest of his events. He ranks sixth and fifth in the class in each respective event, and has dropped significant time in each. He started the season with a best of 1:47.33 in the 200 IM, dropped to 1:44.49 to take 3rd at Winter Juniors West, then shaved another few tenths off at the UIL 6A State Championships at the end of February, clocking 1:44.30.
His 400 IM has seen an even bigger drop, going from 3:53.13 to 3:45.02, although he has just two swims under 3:50. He did drop a big lifetime best of 4:19.85 in long course at U.S. Nationals though, a 6.39 second drop.
The 200 back is the best of his other events at 1:43.98, an 8.08 seconds drop for the season, and he recently popped a 2:01.61 in the long course edition and also made the final at Junior Pan Pacs. That gives him a nice third option for NCAAs, and he should improve further given his long course swims this summer
With only three elite events, Hartzler doesn’t quite have the same versatility as the other top swimmers in this class. He isn’t elite in any relay-distance events, with his best probably a 1:37.46 200 free that was a 2.64 second drop, but his 100 back is just 48.95 and he is 54.79 in the 100 breast and 2:00.17 in the 200 breast – all solid times for an IM swimmer, but without establishing himself as much more than that. However, given his improvement curve, the strength of his main events, and the potential in the 200 back for him, he fully deserves his spot here.
11. Ellis Crisci — Tsunami Swim Team of KC — Homeschooled— Lawrence, KS **Verbally committed to Texas**
Best Times:
1650 free: 14:47.10 1000 free: 8:53.72 500 free: 4:17.07 200 free: 1:36.88 200 fly: 1:46.65 400 IM: 3:49.70Crisci has had some huge drops this season to make himself the #2 distance freestyler in this class behind Luka Mijatovic, and brings some solid times in the 200 fly and 400 IM. His best event is the mile, in which he has dropped 25 seconds this season to go from 15:12.83 to 14:47.10, with two sub-15 minute swims in the last 12 months.
The first of those was at Winter Juniors West, where he clocked 14:53.10 to place second, he then sliced off another six seconds in March at Sectionals with a 14:47.10 with the improvement split pretty much evenly across the distance. His improvement in the 500 free has been smaller at 3.88 seconds, but a 4:17.07 makes him the #2 swimmer in the class there as well and is less than 2% off what it took to qualify for NCAAs last year. He would have scored in the mile there, placing just behind Nathan Wiffen in the final points-scoring spot.
Crisci has a couple of interesting options for his third event, with a 1:46.65 in the 200 fly and a 3:49.70 in the 400 IM, both sizable drops from his pre-season bests of 1:49.05 and 3:54.06. His long course times from last summer indicate the latter could be an event with significant potential, with his 4:24.34 from Summer Nationals featuring a wickedly-fast 58.53 final 100. His 200 free time of 1:36.88 is a nice two second drop for the season as well, and he closed in 24.0 when swimming that time at Sectionals in March.
Ultimately though, Crisci will be judged on how he develops in the 500 free and 1650 free. Dropping nearly four seconds in the former and over 25 seconds in the latter puts him on one seriously impressive improvement curve and big PBs in long course – he has been 3:50.89 in the 400 free and 15:10.75 in the 1500 free – are an excellent indication that those improvements will continue.
11. Brady Campbell — Mason Manta Rays — Milford High School — Milford, OH **Verbally committed to Indiana**
Best Times:
50 free: 19.48 100 free: 43.19 200 free: 1:36.38 100 fly: 46.87 100 breast: 54.25Campbell is one of the top freestyle sprinters in this class, ranking second in the 50 free and fourth in the 100 free, and adds a top-ten 100 fly to the mix as a nice third event. He has dropped a decent amount of time in those events too, and some strong relay splits at Winter Juniors – 19.36 in the 50 free, 42.50 in the 100 free, and 20.78 in the 50 fly – only add to his appeal.
He has sliced a quarter of a second off his 50 free best this season, posting a 19.48 in March. He does only have two swims this season under his previous best of 19.73, but they came in the latter part of the short course season and led into a relatively strong summer. In the 100 free he has dropped a second, from 44.26 to 43.19, and from 1:38.14 to 1:36.38 in the 200 free.
As a sprint freestyler he is already an elite recruit, but there have been big drops in the 100 fly (48.50 to 46.87) and 100 breast (56.03 to 54.25) that make for intriguing third event options, and for some potential on the medley relays. A flat-start 20.82 in the 50 fly indicates he could be 20-flat from a relay start, which would be only just slower than Owen McDonald (19.77) was for Indiana at NCAAs this March.
Campbell dropped lifetime bests in the 100 free (49.80), 100 fly (54.86), and 100 breast (1:03.23) at Junior Nationals, although was off his best of 22.94 in the 50 free by a couple of tenths. He looks like he is still improving, and consolidating a third event and dropping a few more swims around his PBs in freestyle will only move him up these rankings next year.
10. Blake TeBeest — McFarland Spartan Sharks — McFarland High School — McFarland, WI **Verbally committed to Indiana**
Best Times:
50 free: 19.39 100 free: 42.85 200 free: 1:37.96 100 back: 48.05TeBeest is now the top freestyle sprinter in the class, having hacked six-tenths of a second from his 50 free time and eight-tenths from his 100 free time. He is one of only two swimmers to break 43 seconds in the 100 free, and even without an obvious third event his relay value looks immense.
He leads the class in both the 50 free and the 100 free, having set new lifetime bests of 19.39 and 42.85 at the WIAA Boys Division 2 State Championship in February. He was only just off those three weeks later at West Fargo Sectionals, clocking 19.49 in the 50 and 43.10 in the 100, which themselves would rank him #2 and #1 in the respective events.
TeBeest has knocked time off in long course as well, dropping from 23.08 to 22.65 in the 50 free and 50.54 to 50.11 in the 100 free. His yards times are exceptional for a high school junior, and he should be a major relay asset at a minimum, and may be in a position to make an impact from the off at Indiana.
With slightly more of a focus at this point on swimmers’ fit in the NCAA, TeBeest’s hyper-focus on sprint freestyle does knock him down slightly. He lowered his 200 free from 1:39.36 to 1:37.96 this season, and recently set a PB in long course, so that may not be an issue this time next year. However, right now he is hurt by a lack of a third event. The prevalence of elite sprinters who are just off his times, but make up for it in other events, also knocks him down slightly.
9. Ty Thomas — River City Aquatics — Cape Girardeau, MO **Verbally committed to Louisville**
Best Times:
50 free: 19.61 100 free: 42.96 200 free: 1:35.55 100 back: 46.94 100 fly: 46.81 200 fly: 1:44.39 200 IM: 1:44.32Thomas is one of the biggest risers in these rankings, after a huge meet at Winter Juniors which has been followed by even more PB swims in 2026. He ranks in the top ten in the class in seven events, across free, fly, back, and IM, and has immense relay value already.
He is one of just two swimmers in the class to have cracked 43 seconds in the 100 free after dropping a 42.96 at Winter Juniors, a lifetime best of nearly a second from the PB he had set just six weeks before. A 19.61 in the 50 free ranks him 3rd, and he has had multiple sub-20 swims this season as he dropped from 20.36 to 19.61, and 1:35.55 200 free, with very solid splits of 47.08/48.47, is already a strong contender as a three-distance freestyler.
However, he is also sub-47 on both the 100 back (46.94) and 100 fly (46.81) dropping from previous bests of 48.58 and 48.39, respectively. Thomas’ 200 fly is sub-1:45 after hacking off 13 seconds this season, and he dropped five seconds in the 200 IM to place second at Winter Juniors West in 1:44.21.
The most impressive aspect for Thomas is his improvement curve this year, but he is also right at the top of this class in multiple events. He has set some big PBs in long course over the summer, breaking 50 seconds in the 100 free and clocking a 55.10 100 back which indicates there is even more to come in yards in that event. There are a multitude of possible schedules for Thomas in college, and he figures to be a relay contributor on any of the five relays. Another year of improvement like he has just had, and he will be a scary prospect in 12 months time.
8. Griffin Oehler — Rockville Montgomery Swim Club — Georgetown Preparatory School — Rockville, MD **Verbally committed to Florida**

100 back: 47.15 200 back: 1:41.06 200 IM: 1:43.52 50 free: 20.35 200 free: 1:35.87 100 breast: 54.32 200 breast: 1:58.84 100 fly: 47.45 200 fly: 1:47.37The reversion of the NCAA schedule to move the 200 IM to a different day to the 200 back is a huge one for Oehler, who now has an NCAA schedule available with his two best events in. A backstroke specialist who crosses over into the 200 IM, with a relatively strong breaststroke leg, and an elite 200 freestyle, Oehler seems like a near-perfect fit for the NCAA.
The 200 back was his best event last year, and a two second drop this season has maintained that fact. His 1:41.06 is the fourth-fastest time in the class and within 2% of the NCAA qualifying time of 1:39.53 from last season, and he has sliced 1.26 seconds off in the 100 to drop to 47.15, seventh in the class.
The 200 IM has turned into the elite third event he needed this time last year, with a near-four second drop making him the second-fastest swimmer in the class at 1:43.52. He swam that time at the NCSA Spring Championships in March, and was 1:44.11 earlier in the year. His 400 IM isn’t quite on the same level at 3:56.25, however he has not swum the event this season, and he has dipped under 2:00 in the 200 breast to rank in the top ten in this class.
Oehler has a solid 54.32 100 breast as well, and ranks 10th in the 200 free with a 1:35.87 from March, although splits of 47.00/48.87 indicate there is time for him to drop there. He has been strong in long course with 2:03-flat swims in both the 200 back and 200 IM, and a 55.72 in the 100 back that is stronger than his long course 200, a reverse from the order in yards. His relay value is a little limited outside of the 800 free relay, but he is already at conference-scorer level in his two best events with the potential for big drops in three others.
7. Shareef Elaydi— Santa Clara Swim Club — Archbishop Mitty High School — Santa Clara, CA **Verbally committed to Texas**
Best Times:
200 fly: 1:42.80 (best in class) 200 IM: 1:43.82 100 breast: 51.85 200 breast: 1:55.12 100 fly: 46.78Elaydi has had an unusual development over the last couple of years, moving away from fly and becoming one of the top breaststrokers in the class. He has dropped 1.33 seconds in the 100 breast this season, ranking second in the class in a time of 51.85. That is only just outside the 51.51 required for an NCAA berth, and he dropped more than four seconds in the 200 to rank third in 1:55.12.
He has not totally abandoned the fly which first brought him to prominence, clocking 47.11 in the 100 fly and 1:43.76 in the 200 fly at Winter Juniors West, but both were off his bests of 46.78/1:42.80 from December 2024. He still ranks highly in the class with those, but 18 months without a PB and a shift to other events tempers expectation in this stroke. His 200 IM is still improving though, ranking fourth in the class at 1:43.82, a 1.17 second improvement. He clocked that time to win Winter Juniors West, and ranks third in the class in the event. He has a 20.32 50 free which could see him develop some sprint speed and add relay value outside the medleys, but he is only 44.24 in the 100 free and 1:40.46 in the 200 free.
His main value now is in breaststroke and the IM events, and he has a nice 200 IM/100 breast/200 breast schedule for NCAAs. Elaydi is within 1% of the time it took to qualify last year in the 100 breast, and within 2% of the qualifying time in the 200 IM, and he is dropping time in his three main events. He doesn’t fall too much, but he is a slightly less versatile swimmer than he was at this point last year, in what is an incredibly versatile class.

He ranks in the top four in the fly events and sprint free events, has huge relay potential, a solid improvement curve, and threw down some big swims in long course this summer.
His main events are the same ones he was strong in a year ago, but he has added a 1:45.83 200 IM to the mix thanks to a 5.57 second drop this season. In sprint free he has dropped nearly a second in the 50, from 20.53 to 19.65, and nine tenths of a second in the 100 free to go from 44.04 to 43.14. After hacking off five seconds in the 200 free last year, he has dropped another three this year to vault up to second in the class with a 1:34.24, but even more looks in store after a huge 1:49.16 at U.S. Nationals, a 5.76 second improvement from last summer.
Vicknair has dropped two seconds in the 200 fly this season, posting 1:43.06 at Winter Juniors East to take the win by more than a second. That is probably still his best event currently, and a 46.69 100 fly ranks him second in the class but is another where he has been exceptional in long course, with a 52.66 at U.S. Nationals. His backstroke has flatlined a little, but he is still 47.90 in the 100 back and 1:45.06 in the 200 back.
Overall, he has just about the perfect mix for a recruit here – immense relay value, a steep improvement curve, versatility across multiple strokes and distances, and is coming off a huge summer. Watch out for him to rise next year.
5. Davis Jackson — TAC Titans — Leesville Road High School — Raleigh, NC **Verbally committed to Cal**
Best Times:
200 back 1:39.26 (best in class) 100 back: 45.90 200 IM: 1:44.70 400 IM 3:44.36 100 fly: 47.62 200 fly: 1:47.26Jackson rises up the rankings this year thanks to some handy drops in backstroke and IM. He is one of just three swimmers in the class to have an NCAA scoring time, with his 200 back PB of 1:39.26 faster than Hayden Meyer’s 16th place time of 1:39.29 in March, and has dropped three quarters of a second in the 100 back to rank second in the class with a 45.90.
Those would both be near the top of Cal’s depth chart last season, and both times were sizable drops as he sliced two seconds off in the 100 back as well. He was a good IM swimmer last season at 1:46.56/3:49.79, but is now 1:44.70/3:44.36 while having some definite avenues for improvement on the second half of each race.
Jackson’s freestyle seems like it is due a big drop – his bests are on par with his backstroke times at 45.76/1:39.64 – but he has surprisingly solid times in the 200 breast (1:59.92) and in both the 100 fly (47.26) and 200 fly (1:47.26). He has been dropping best times through the season in both his main and secondary events, and still has another season to make his times even more competitive at the NCAA level.
He seems a natural fit for Cal, with his profile matching recent stars like Daniel Carr, Bruce Mefford, Humberto Najera, and Destin Lasco. He set his best times in his main events this spring, rather than at Winter Juniors, and is already lowering his long course marks, going 2:00.47 in the 200 back before dropping two seconds to 1:58.67 at U.S. Nationals, then winning Junior Pan Pacs in August. He seems nailed on for a 200 IM/100 back/200 back schedule, although the 400 IM is also an option on day 2, but needs to develop his freestyle a little more to be a key relay asset. You certainly wouldn’t bet against him doing so right now.

He ranks in the top seven in the class in seven separate events, across free, fly, and back, and his relay value is still exceptional.
He is one of the best three-distance freestylers in the class, with a 19.70 in the 50 free, 43.44 in the 100 free, and 1:34.66 in the 200 free. He dropped a quarter of a second in the former this season from his previous best of 19.95, and 1.17 seconds in the 200 free, but just 0.06 seconds in the 100 free. His long course times have stagnated a little as well, with his lifetime bests in the 100 free (50.02) and 200 free (1:50.82) coming from last summer, and he has only dropped 0.01 seconds in the 50 free from 23.20 to 23.19.
While he is still an elite freestyler, he is probably now slightly stronger in the 200 back and 200 fly. A two second drop in the former makes him the third-fastest swimmer in the class at 1:40.85, an ‘A’ final-worthy time at conference level and just over a second off what it took to make NCAAs this March. In the latter, he has dropped 2.59 seconds from the 1:45.75 he came into the season with, going from 55.33 to 53.56 on the second 100 to rank third in the class.
Vatev’s stroke 100s are strong as well, with a 46.17 in the 100 back ranking fourth in the class and a 46.86 in the 100 fly ranking seventh. Neither one was a huge drop, just 0.35 seconds for the season on backstroke and 0.63 on butterfly, but he brings medley relay value as well as on freestyle. A 21.52 in the 50 back is #3 in this class too. Overall, he doesn’t really have any weakness but drops slightly as the class catches up to his freestyle times.
3. Yi Zheng — Carmel Swim Club — Carmel High School — Carmel, IN **Verbally committed to Stanford**
Best Times:

He is strong across all five 200s, and brings some elite times in the 500 free and 400 IM as well as a ridiculous improvement curve, all backed up by some elite long course swims.
He has dropped over ten seconds in the SCY 400 IM so far this season. After dropping down from 3:51.22 to 3:45.67 in November at the IN CSC fall frenzy, he knocked another four seconds off at Winter Juniors East as he placed 2nd in 3:41.90. Yet another drop came in March when he clocked 3:40.69, just half a second off Mijatovic’s class-leading time and one that would have qualified for NCAAs last season. A silver medal at Junior Pan Pacs and a pair of 4:14-point swims are exceptional as well.
His 200 IM is #2 in the class at 1:43.60, already a strong conference time and within 2% of last season’s NCAA qualification time. He has dropped four seconds this season, having come into this year with a best of 1:47.64, and has had three swims under 1:44. He has dropped 3.70 seconds in the 200 breast to rank second in the class in 1:54.84, 1.41 seconds in the 100 breast to rank eighth in 53.67, and is the #7 200 fly swimmer as well in 1:44.91, a 3.80 second drop.
Freestyle is the event that has seen the biggest drop this season, however. He has gone from 4:32.19 to 4:17.62 in the 500 free, 5th in the class, and that event is now a real alternative to the 200 IM on day 2 for him. A 5.52 second drop in the 200 free and a sub-44 100 free give him some relay value, and he has been on a roll in long course this summer. If he can develop his relay-distance freestyles even further and drop his 400 IM into points-scoring territory next year, he could climb even further.
2. Collin Holgerson — SwimAtlanta — McCallie High School — Chattanooga, TN **Verbally committed to Tennessee**
Best Times:
100 back: 44.94 (best in class) 100 breast: 51.75 (best in class) 200 IM: 1:43.23 (best in class) 200 breast: 1:53.63 (best in class) 200 back 1:39.74 100 fly: 46.82 50 free: 20.00An elite backstroker, strong in IM, who has a surprisingly good 100 breaststroke? It isn’t a time-travelling Will Modglin, but the comparison between him and Holgerson is apt.
Already a top-ten recruit, Holgerson had a breakout meet at Winter Juniors in December. He broke Modglin’s national age group record in the 100 back, dipping under 45 seconds for the first time as he clocked 44.94 in the final. He followed that up with a win in the 200 back, hacking nearly four seconds from his best to go 1:39.74, second-fastest in the class. His 100 back had also been a huge PB, having come into this season at 46.87.
A 20.86 in the 50 back is already an elite NCAA time, and he dropped a PB of 20.00 in the 50 free in March. An exceptional backstroker who crosses over into IM and freestyle would already be one of the best recruits in the class, but Holgerson adds some phenomenal breaststroke times into the mix as well. He dropped over a second from his 100 PB this season to go 51.75, only just outside the 51.51 it took to qualify for NCAAs. That is the fastest time in this class, and he makes it a breaststroke double thanks to a 1:53.63 in the 200, more than a second faster than anyone else and one of only two swimmers under 1:55.
If anything, there are too many events that he is elite in, but he has a nice NCAA schedule of the 200 IM, 100 back, and 200 back available and the ability to swap out the latter two for the breaststroke equivalents. The options he gives for the medley relays are huge, and there is the mystery of his 100 free to look forward to – his recorded best is 47.84, three seconds slower than his 100 back.
Holgerson has the versatility and talent to be a three-event scorer at both conferences and NCAAs in a couple of years time. With a year of high school still to go, he would improve almost every college squad and has shown no sign of slowing down his rapid improvement curve.
1. Luka Mijatovic — Pleasanton Seahawks — Foothill High School — Pleasanton, CA **Verbally committed to Texas**
Best Times:
500 free: 4:05.76 (best in class) 1650 free: 14:30.01 (best in class) 1000 free: 8:32.83 (best in class) 200 free: 1:32.73 (best in class) 100 free: 43.65 50 free: 20.66 200 IM: 1:44.28 400 IM: 3:40.14 (best in class) 200 back: 1:45.77 200 fly: 1:43.57 100 fly: 47.54There is a big caveat here – as per the Pleasanton daily news, Mijatovic is graduating early and joining Texas in January. However, until he formally announces that, he is part of this class and it’s clear #1 swimmer.
He was the clear-cut #1 last summer, and 12 months on he has only solidified that position. Mijatovic is lethal in freestyle from the 100 up to the mile, an elite IM swimmer, and solid across the stroke 200s. There may be a little uncertainty over his third NCAA event after the 500 free and 1650 free, although it is likely to be the 400 IM, but he will probably score in all three events in all four years in a worst case scenario, and from the off will be part of at least the 800 free relay.
The 500 free is his best event, and his PB of 4:05.76 not only makes him the #3 performer in history but would also have won NCAAs last year. He dropped a staggering five seconds in the event last season, notable because he was starting from a 4:10 baseline. He has an ‘A’ final-worthy 14:30.01 in the mile, a 1:32.73 in the 200 free that leads the class, and a 3:40.14 400 IM that would only just have missed scoring at NCAAs last year. He has dropped time in all of those events this year, dropping five seconds in the 500, and owns the American record in the 1000 free with an 8:32.83.
Elite long course swims of 1:45.92/3:43.45/7:44.52 in the 200/400/800 free, as well as a 4:15 400 IM, only add to his appeal. Texas has a generational talent on its hands here.
