Although the overwhelming majority of college football prospects ink a letter of intent in the early signing period, a handful of key players remain on the board.

In the 2023 recruiting cycle, only six top-150 talents are still uncommitted. While a couple of them might actually have signed in December—more on that shortly—they've exited the early window publicly unattached.

Decisions may be revealed during All-American games in January, but some players might wait until February's traditional signing day. They may need additional time to make a choice, too.

One thing is clear, though: These six players are officially the most coveted prospects in the nation

Although most players sign during the early window, prospects will occasionally wait to announce their decision at one of the All-Star showcases in January.

Mikal Harrison-Pilot will be a headliner in 2023.

A 4-star from Texas, he's the No. 150 player in the country. Harrison-Pilot has officially visited Cal, Houston, TCU and Texas, though he most recently traveled to Houston and TCU in December. He's set to announce at the All-American Bowl, per Steve Wilftong of 247Sports.

Harrison-Pilot would be the highest-rated player in Houston's class or third-best prospect in TCU's haul.
