Ranking every Big 12 team’s recruiting class by blue-chip percentage

Arizona State — 40%

You can always count on Kenny Dillingham and the Sun Devils to make some noise on the trail at some point every cycle. Early on, Arizona State has five commits in its 2027 class, including a pair of blue-chippers in four-star WR Nico Bland and four-star QB Weston Nielsen. Bland is the No. 33 receiver in the nation, while Nielsen checks in as the No. 27 QB.

Baylor — 33%

This upcoming season will be an important one for Dave Aranda and Co. Baylor often hovers around the top 40 of the Rivals Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. Of the six commits in its class thus far, two are four-stars: ATH Karece Hoyt and QB Luke Babin. The former now ranks as the No. 8 athlete in the cycle. The latter is a former Vandy commit who chose the Bears at the end of March and now ranks as the No. 24 QB overall.

Houston — 17%

The Cougars always hit the in-state trail hard and that’s no different so far in the 2027 cycle. Of Houston’s six commits, five hail from the Lone Star State. Four-star DL Raiden Cook is the lone blue-chipper in the mix. He was a big riser in the latest Rivals300 update and now checks in as the No. 99 recruit, No. 9 DL and No. 14 player in Texas.

Note: Colorado does not meet the minimum commitments required for this exercise, while Arizona, West Virginia, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Utah, BYU, TCU, Cincinnati and UCF all currently do not have a commitment from a blue-chip prospect.
