Ariewd Watford Ariewd Watford 6'5" | 210 lbs | DL Salem-VB | 2025 VA | 6’6’’ 215 lbs | Defensive End | Salem -Virginia Beach High School
Watford didn’t have a big jump to make being that he was already listed as the 2nd ranked overall in the state of Virginia, but it’s always worth noting when a player takes over the number 1 spot. Watford already has the frame of a college athlete and ended his first year playing high school football as a Freshmen All American. He currently holds approximately 18 offers from Division 1 schools such as Campbell, Texas A and M, Michigan, East Carolina, Tennessee, Bowling Green State, Old Dominion, South Carolina, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, Penn State, and Duke; just to name a few.
Chris Spence Chris Spence 6'4" | 160 lbs | ATH Kemspville | 2025 State VA | 6’3’’ 160 lbs | Wide Receiver/ Defensive Back | Oscar Smith High School
Spence makes a notable jump from the 10th ranked overall player in the class to the 2nd ranked. His overall size, athleticism, and ability to play both ways reminds me of the current number one prospect in the country, Travis Hunter. Ironically, Spence has an offer from Jackson State and Florida State (the school where Hunter is now signed to and the school where he was previously committed to), along with a few others like Campbell, Boston College, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Duke, South Carolina, and Liberty.
Michael Dabney Jr | 5’7’’ 175 lbs | Running Back | Life Christian Academy
Dabney makes the largest jump on our rankings list for the class of 2025, jumping 18 spots from number 23 to 5. Life Christian has a strong history of getting their players to the next level, and I’m sure that Dabney will not be any different. He currently has offers from Boston College, Maryland, and Pittsburgh.
Leon Clark | 5’9’’ 185 lbs | Running Back | Norfolk Christian
Clark makes a huge jump from the 20th ranked overall player to the 8th ranked player. He was an extremely productive player on both sides of the ball rushing for 866 yards on offense, and finishing the season with 70 tackles, 4 sacks, and 11 tackles for a loss. Clark being one of the most productive freshmen in the country earned him 2nd Team All State honors as both a Running Back and Defensive Back. To date, he has offers from Duke, University of North Carolina, and Maryland.
