Fast Rising 2025 Metro-Atlanta Pass Catchers

The 2025 class is loaded in the State of Georgia, and these guys are still 3 years away from being seniors. Still, especially at the WR/TE spot, there have been plenty of prospects make some noise in this class. You could draw a 50 mile circle around Atlanta and find hundreds of highly touted prospects in every class. Here, that is exactly what we are doing at the 2025 WR and TE positions. <strong>Topher Delp</strong> | 5'11 | West Forsyth If you follow CFB recruiting, chances are you have probably heard of the Delp name. That is because Topher's older brother Oscar is a 2022 TE committed to play for the Georgia Bulldogs. When you watch Topher's film. there is reason to believe he could also be a D1 player if he can put it all together. On film, it is hard to find any sort of red flags in Delp's game. He is an extremely fluid route runner, finds open spots on the field, has soft hands, and puts his foot in the ground and gets up field. Consistent is the perfect way to describe him. Perhaps what really sets him apart is his effort and discipline. On film, he shows the potentially to be a very good blocker, which is becoming a rare commodity in WRs these days. Once he adds some weight and continues to develop, Delp has the potential to be a high caliber WR in the 2025 class. <strong>Brian Allen</strong> | 5'11 | East Paulding Allen is already physically and athletically very impressive for his age. He is extremely well built, which makes it very difficult for smaller defenders to go up and defend against him. What really stands out the most about Allen is his speed. He is not super explosive, but his straight line speed allows him to get behind the defense and make plays. A large portion of his TDs on film are thanks to the deep ball, so he is a big play just waiting to happen. Plays some on defense and doubles as a kick returner. Has RB like vision as a returner and always fights for extra yards. Allen is way under the radar at the moment, but he has all the tools to fly up boards over the next few years. <strong>Gracen Sexton</strong> | 6'2 | Cherokee Already at 6'2 and hovering around 200 pounds, Sexton is a very impressive prospect from a physical standpoint. He is also very athletic for his size, which allows him to be a difference maker on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Sexton is used a lot as a lead blocker. This could indicate a future at the TE spot. Sexton has enough speed to keep the defense honest and can make plays in tight coverage downfield. Whether he plays at WR or TE, he has the skillset to be very good at both. Once he settles into a role and continues his growth, his versatility and size will put him on someone's radar. <strong>Cooper Williams</strong> | 5'10 | Pace Academy <span style="font-weight: 400;">Williams is a touchdown threat every time he touches the ball, and that can be seen on film. For starters, he has elite track-level speed. With that comes the natural ability to take the top off the defense, but he is not just limited to straight-line speed. He is very twitchy and has lightning-quick feet. As a result, he is already a high-level route runner and can make defenders miss with the best of them. Williams caught just 9 passes his freshman season on the Varsity level, so his best football is ahead of him. With 2 receivers ahead of him graduating, his role should grow in a big way as a Sophomore. Once he fully adjusts to the Varsity game, he could be a force for years to come.</span> <strong>Jude Nelson</strong> | Social Circle <span style="font-weight: 400;">Nelson is the definition of a gamer. He is not a super big or athletic prospect, but he makes plays regardless. He is very long and lanky, so he plays at WR and CB. At CB, he is super disruptive and can go up and win 50/50 balls, which also translates to offense. When he gets the ball in his hands, Nelson is fun to watch. He has legitimate track-level speed, but he is also shifty enough to create space. Due to this, he also returns kicks. On varsity, Nelson caught 12 passes for 167 yards. With two of the 3 leading receivers in front of him graduating, Nelson should see a fair amount of touches on the offensive side of the ball going forward.</span> &nbsp; &nbsp;
