In contrast to the 2019 women’s Division I recruiting race, things are shaping up much differently on the men’s side.

With men’s college soccer programs still putting the finishing touches on the class of 2018, next year’s verbal commitments are still relatively barren. In fact, only 33 players in the 2019 IMG Academy Top 150 rankings have submitted a decision. Obviously, a handful of players have already elected to go pro, with plenty of other players likely considering to weigh options between now and then.

Regardless, there’s still a small picture emerging of what might constitute the top class for 2019. Below is a look at five of the more notable groups at the moment, with plenty of change sure to happen in the future.
