The 2021-2022 college football season is roughly two months away. The job of a college football coach, though, is never done. One of the most challenging tasks in a college football coach's list of responsibilities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic is recruiting.
The 2022 college football recruiting class has been the most challenging situation for coaches in recent times. The difficulty of getting game film has played a major part in that. College football coaches usually have a good amount of game film on recruits, but with the pandemic, game film is slim pickings.
The other issue college football coaches are dealing with is the lack of camps due to the pandemic. Coaches use camps to build relationships with the recruits. The 2022 college football recruiting class is full of talent, but coaches will have to build relationships through virtual meetings until the pandemic clears.
With scouting reports from 247Sports, one of the top recruiting sites in the United States, here's a look at the top 25 college football recruits heading into the 2021-2022 college football season.

The Big Ten has three teams ranked in college football's top ten list. One notable team to have fallen out of the top ten is the Alabama Crimson Tide. Churning out college football's most promising alumni in recent years, Alabama will make a hard push to make it back near the top of the rankings once the 2021-2022 college football season kicks off.
