One of the best receivers in the 2027 class has trimmed his list down to five teams.
Osani Gayles, a four-star receiver from IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, announced his top five on Wednesday. It includes Alabama, Tennessee, Washington, Notre Dame and Stanford.
A top-50 player in the class per the 247Sports composite rankings, Gayles is originally from Tracey, California. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound wideout transferred to IMG ahead of his junior campaign in 2025, and he finished the season with 20 catches for 492 yards.
Alabama is viewed as a slight favorite for Gayles, who is set to take an official visit to Tuscaloosa on May 29.
