Other prospects to know
It wasn’t just Winston who had the eye of the recruiting community from the Gonzaga squad. Linebacker in the 2026 cycle, Kedric Golston II stood out from the crowd.

The younger Golston is 6-2, 220 and is the 261st player in the On3 Industry Rankings for the next cycle.
The Penn State ties were abundant this weekend. Chris Tangelo is a wide receiver for the Bullis School and the younger brother of former Penn State defensive tackle Derrick Tangelo.
