I just want to bring you the guys that not enough people are taking about. I believe these guys will be huge contributors to their team’s success in the upcoming season. Here are the Break Out Players of the 2025 Class!
D’Andre Hardeman Jr.
D’Andre Hardeman Jr.
Anytime Rashaad Johnson Rashaad Johnson 5’9″ | 210 lbs | RB North Shore | 2023 State TX needed a breather or needed medical attention, Hardeman stepped right in, and the offense never skipped a beat. The incoming junior runs with great speed and has very good contact balance. He can cut on a dime and runs hard for his size. Another offseason in the weight room, I believe he will be able to the bell cow back and take on 20-25 carries a game. North Shore is a physical team that uses the run to set up everything! Hardeman Jr. will be in a really great position to excel in that offense. His production as the SECOND running back option was better than a lot of starters (132 carries, 952 yards, and 13 touchdowns). North Shore will be in good hands! I believe with the return on Kaleb Bailey Kaleb Bailey 6’2″ | 195 lbs | QB North Shore | 2025 State TX , that offense will go as far as Hardeman can take them!
Mekhi Emerinini
Mekhi Emerinini
Emerinini was already a starter on the King offense, and contributed a bunch. He, along with Rae’G Dailey (2024) and a couple others are coming back to finish what they started! CE King’s offense threw for over 2,300 yards. Though senior QB Denim Johnson will be gone, there’s not a doubt in my mind the next QB will have weapons to work with! Emerinini is big, with really good hands and is tough through the middle of the field. A mismatch for traditional LBs, Emerinini has the ability to stretch the field. He is able to muscle DBs in the run game and can move well in space. I believe Emerinini will be name to watch next season!
Jordan Clavelle
Jordan Clavelle
Clavelle has really nice get off from the line. He has a decent amount of power and is bound to get stronger! I believe he will turn his QB hits and near sacks into actual ones. He has really good length and can use his hands effectively. He resets the line of scrimmage. Clavelle misses more tackles than you would like, but I believe that can change next season. Another offseason in the weight room and getting coached up and I believe you’ll start to see Clavelle’s name a lot more on ranking lists!
