Jake Rogers — QB, 2027 Rogers is a 2027 quarterback committed to Princeton and one of the most important pieces of Basha’s 2026 outlook. Returning quarterback play matters in a preseason ranking, especially for a team coming off an Open Division championship. Rogers gives the Bears continuity, leadership and a clear offensive identity entering the season. Jake Hildebrand — OL, 2027 Hildebrand is a 6’6”, 285-pound 5-star offensive lineman committed to Arizona State. He is one of the top offensive linemen in the country and a major reason Basha starts this high. With a returning quarterback and a national-level offensive lineman up front, the Bears have one of the stronger offensive foundations in the Top 100. Anitoni Tahi — DL, 2027 Tahi is a 6’2”, 315-pound defensive lineman committed to Kansas State. He gives Basha a major presence in the trenches and should be one of the key players on a defense looking to stay championship-caliber. TK Cunningham — EDGE, 2027 Cunningham is a 6’5”, 230-pound 4-star edge defender who transferred in from Grayson, Georgia. He gives Basha a major boost off the edge and immediately raises the ceiling of the defensive front. Jaden Baldwin — WR, 2027 Baldwin is a 6’1”, 170-pound 3-star wide receiver committed to Pitt. He gives Rogers a proven Power Four weapon on the perimeter and should be one of the biggest pieces in Basha’s passing game. Caleb Jordan — EDGE, 2027 Jordan is a 6’3”, 230-pound 3-star edge defender with an offer from Air Force. He is one of the key names to watch in Basha’s defensive front and gives the Bears another athletic piece off the edge. Barry Adams — ATH/TE/LB, 2027 Adams is a 6’2”, 200-pound athlete who can help in multiple spots. His versatility gives Basha another valuable returning piece on a roster built around experience and flexibility. Da’John Yarborough — OL Yarborough is listed among Basha’s key returning players and gives the Bears another important piece up front. With eight offensive starters returning, Basha’s offensive line and offensive continuity should be one of the strengths of the team. *Since posting the original article Yarborough has announced his commitment to Cal* In addition to the names above, Noah Roberts, Kade Karriker, Jack Bennett, Mikey Barth, Landen Wade, Marc Duerson, Kyser Wilson, Tre Kennard, Geremiah Grimes and Taylan Patterson are all listed among key returning players for the Bears. Basha also added several newcomers, including TK Cunningham, Brady Allen, Makai Nelson, Chayden Isom and Chris Chaney.
