Four-star Defensive Lineman David Folorunsho

Rivals has released its updated rankings — the Rivals300 — for the 2027 cycle. Six new five-stars were officially tabbed on Monday morning, including Chicago (Ill.) St. Patrick defensive lineman David Folorunsho.

The 6-foot-3, 285-pound prospect now ranks as the No. 9 overall prospect in the country for the 2027 class and remains atop the Illinois state rankings.

Few prospects have had a bigger spring than Folorunsho, who debuted in the Rivals300 just two months ago and is now rated as a five-star. His recruitment has followed a similar trajectory, with visits to Georgia, Miami, Notre Dame, Penn State and Texas Tech in April.

“If there was to be a leader, I would say — I mean, I feel like every school that — I wouldn’t say (there is) a leader,” Folorunsho told BlueAndGold.com’s Kyle Kelly on Sunday. “I would just say these four or five schools are all different. I’m still trying to figure out the process right now.”
