Just finished going through the recruitment signees for most of the top programs in the country from Alabama to Washington, and although I haven't looked at every D-1 program here's the sad numbers for white players signed compared to black players.
171 of the 787 players signed are white or 21.7 %.
The best being Iowa was the only program over 50%: 11-21 or 52%.
East Carolina and Florida were the worst at 0-15 and 0-20 respectively or a big fat 0 of white players signed for the 2023 season.
I covered 40 programs and there may be a few mistakes. I didn't take in transfers. Just the players coming out of HS.
Here's a few other programs of note.
Purdue 6-14 or 46%
Nebraska 9-21 or 43%
Wisconsin 6-14 or 43%
Notre Dame 9-24 or 38%
Indiana 5-13 or 38%
Northwestern 7-19 or 37%
Kansas, Michigan State, and SMU all came in at 33%.
Duke 31%
Kansas State 31%
No other program I checked came in higher than 30%! Very disturbing outlook for white players.
A few more of the worst. Remember East Carolina and Florida signed 0 white players!
TCU 1-24 or 4% Jack Bech transfer from LSU
NC State 1-19 or 5%. Very surprising. One of the top engineering schools in the country!
Georgia Tech 1-20 5%. Another great engineering school.
MS. State 2-25 or 8%
Ole MS. 1-12 or 8%
Miami 2-26 or 8%
California 1-10 or 10%
Wake Forest 2-19 or 11%. Very high academic school letting black players in that would never be allowed on the campus otherwise!
Georgia 3-27 or 11%
These are just some I looked up. There were other programs between the ones I've listed. Again, I only covered 40 programs and didn't include the service academies. If you want to look up any other teams just search team name, football 2023 signees and look under 247 sports.
If only 21.7% of players being signed are white, this is under the demographic of NFL being approximately 25-28% white. It doesn't bode well for the future of white football players moving forward.
