The final edition of the 2026 HOT 100 player rankings will wrap up next week as we countdown from the players ranked as Top 50 standouts to the ultimate No. 1 in the class.

It’s a loaded class with talent, especially at the top, and we’ve “done our homework” — from seeing players at events to getting insights from college and club coaches – to identify which ones can say they are the best in the senior class.

Here’s the schedule for next week (those in the #’s 100-51 ranges have been released; clink on the links to see who can lay claim to being a Hot 100 honoree!)

• #s 100-91 (Oct. 6, 2025)
• #s 90-81 (Oct. 7, 2025)
• #s 80-71 (Oct. 8, 2025)
• #s 70-61 (Oct. 9, 2025)
