Tennessee made Nwaneri’s top five, but the Volunteers are not one of the favorites to land a commitment from the five-star defensive lineman. Nwaneri checked out Tennessee in June.

Oregon is not a favorite for Nwaneri. However, the Ducks did recently land a No. 1 defensive lineman in Kayvon Thibodeaux. Could Oregon pull off some magic again? Nwaneri has previously visited Oregon and plans to visit the Ducks in September.

Georgia football has, by far, the best recent history of developing defensive linemen of any of Williams Nwaneri’s top schools. Kirby Smart and Georgia are making a strong push for Nwaneri, but will it be enough?

Top school: Missouri Tigers

Will Williams Nwaneri stay home and commit to the Missouri Tigers? Missouri has had some recent success at landing an in-state five-star (Luther Burden), so the Tigers should not be counted out.
Missouri is one of the true contenders for Nwaneri and is generating a lot of late buzz for the five-star defensive lineman. In fact, Rivals is projecting Nwaneri to commit to the Tigers. The five-star has visited the Tigers a ton over the years.
Top school: Oklahoma Sooners

The five-star is projected to commit to the Oklahoma Sooners, per 247Sports. Oklahoma is looking less like the favorite. It remains murky where Nwaneri will end up at signing day.
The talented defensive lineman would be a massive addition to Oklahoma’s class of 2024. The Sooners hold the nation’s No. 14 recruiting class.
