Four-star tight end Mack Sutter is set to announce his college commitment tonight at 7:45 p.m. CT. He will be choosing between four major programs: Alabama, Ole Miss, Ohio State, and Illinois. Sutter is ranked as the No. 6 tight end in the nation, the top prospect in Illinois for the 2026 recruiting class, and the No. 80 player overall according to the industry composite rankings.
In 247Sports’ exclusive rankings, Sutter is listed as the No. 7 tight end nationally, the top player in Illinois, and holds the No. 82 spot in the Top247. Despite his high ranking and extensive recruiting attention, no expert predictions have been logged on his Crystal Ball profile as of now.
Sutter has drawn significant interest during the recruiting process, earning over 40 scholarship offers from programs across the country. His decision is highly anticipated, particularly by fans of the four schools in contention.
With elite programs from both the SEC and Big Ten in the running, Sutter’s choice could have an impact on national recruiting narratives. Each of the finalist schools has made the tight end position a recruiting priority.
Tonight’s announcement will bring clarity to one of the top remaining recruitment decisions in the 2026 class and could provide a major boost to the chosen program’s future offensive plans.
