​Rivals released its initial rankings for the 2029 recruiting cycle on Monday, tabbing 100 top prospects. The high school football season is getting underway across the country and many notable sophomores are garnering recognition heading into the fall.Old school recruiting timelines are practically relics. Nearly all of the top 400 prospects in the 2027 cycle are already committed coming out of the summer. That’s partially leading to some early decisions for some of the best in 2028. That has already trickled down to the 2029 class to some degree, too. $19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage Four of the 100 prospects featured in Rivals’ new rankings are already committed. That number will likely jump throughout the fall. Below is a look at those four sophomores who are already off the board, as of Aug. 17:WR Sip Cooper — SMUSchool:Panther Creek (Texas)Rivals Ranking: No. 5 NATL. (No. 3 WR)Cooper is a dynamic Swiss-Army knife playmaker at the prep level. He played his freshman season at Life Oak Cliff and did a little bit of everything. He rushed for 634 yards and 10 touchdowns, caught 11 scores, had 856 receiving yards and even threw for 677 yards and four scores. He’ll now suit up for Panther Creek this fall. Cooper committed to Rhett Lashlee and in-state SMU on June 30. “Every time I go over there, it’s like the same, really family over there,” Cooper told On The Pony Express about his decision. “I got a good relationship with coach (Rob) Likens, (Ryan) Jenkins and coach Lashlee.

Miami prioritized him from the jump and landed his commitment on June 24.“It’s really Coach Cristobal and Coach Dawson that put Miami up there for me,” Cypher told Rivals’ Chad Simmons. “They do a great job recruiting. Coach Cristobal is a very stand-up guy. He tells you what’s what, and that’s what I’m looking for in a college.”CB Kiingbaraka Kizzee — UCLASchool:Mission Viejo (Calif.)Rivals Ranking: No. 83 NATL. (No. 12 CB)One of the best sophomores in the Golden State, Kizzee notched 15 tackles, three pass deflections and an interception as a freshman for Orange Lutheran. He’s now transferred to Mission Viejo for his sophomore campaign this fall. After visiting UCLA and spending time around the new staff in Westwood, Kizzee opted not to waste any time and made a pledge to the in-state Bruins on Jun
