Spent the morning with @Coach_Hall7 and his @GreenWaveFB team. The enthusiasm and energy is contagious. The players and coaches and staff are all flying around. June is usually the doldrums but no long faces today. Love the intensity and speed. You will too. @FTWMediaGroup AIE

Tulane Green Wave 🏈

Tulane Makes History:
Tylan George and Jordyn Crites Become the Highest-Rated Commits in Program History

Tulane Green Wave fans have plenty to celebrate this cycle and previous. According to the latest 247Sports composite rankings, the Green Wave have landed the two highest-rated recruits in program history for the Class of 2026, and they’re not just any two prospects.

Tylan George, the massive interior offensive lineman from West Monroe High School in Louisiana, sits at No. 1 with a 0.8939 rating. The 6’3”, 310-pound 4-star prospect has been a dominant force on the offensive line, earning praise for his pancake block totals and elite strength (515-pound squat, 315 bench as a junior). George brings immediate size, power, and local pride to an offensive line room that’s hungry for impact talent.

Right behind him at No. 2 is Jordyn Crites, the 6’6”, 255-260 pound defensive lineman from Friendswood High School in Texas. Crites recently earned his 4-star upgrade and a 0.8926 composite, making him one of the most athletic and long defensive linemen in the class (83-inch wingspan, 4.8 forty, 530-pound squat). He played both defensive end and tight end in high school and brings versatility, length, and upside that fits perfectly in Will Hall’s defensive scheme.

Together, George and Crites represent a seismic shift in Tulane recruiting. Not only are they the top two in the 2026 class, but their ratings mark a new ceiling for what the Green Wave can attract. One bolsters the trenches on offense with mauling power; the other adds length and explosiveness on defense.

Both have potential to contribute early and raise the floor (and ceiling) for their respective position groups.

This isn’t just a good class, it’s a statement. Tulane is no longer just competing for regional talent; they’re landing blue-chip prospects who have Power conference offers and are choosing to build something special in New Orleans.

The Green Wave are trending up, and these two are the new faces of that ascent.

Boom! Tulane lands a commitment from RB Peyton Perkins. Peyton primarily plays QB for his high school but Tulane views him as a RB at the college level. He totaled 2,577 yards and 20 touchdowns this past season. Another playmaker added to the 2027 recruiting class.
