The Mater Dei superstar ranks as the nation’s No. 6 overall recruit, the second-ranked defensive lineman. Breland is the No. 1 player in California, according to 247Sports.

Breland plans to make his commitment on Oct. 14. Who are his top three schools and who is favored to land his commitment?

The Hurricanes have 22 commitments and the nation’s No. 17 recruiting class in the class of 2024. Breland would be Miami’s top commitment in the class of 2024.

Oregon Ducks: top school
