2024 and 2025 Skill Players That Jumped Onto My Radar

Today, we're looking at which skill players recently jumped onto my radar. This piece features players from both sides of the football with varying levels of recruitment. They've put together some impressive highlight films and I believe their 2023 tape will be even better.   As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide"/>   WR: [player_tooltip player_id='299479' first='Brennan' last='Saxe'], 6'3" 165, Fremd, 2025   Long, with slick feet, plenty of build-up speed to create downfield separation, and outstanding ball skills. He's smooth going over the middle, has natural playmaking ability after the catch, and can make tough catches out of awkward body positions. Saxe was quite productive on both ends of the football, totaling 755 yards receiving and five touchdowns on offense to go with five interceptions on the defensive end.      WR: Charlie Snoreck, 6' 170, Sandburg, 2025   Charlie had a knack for finding the endzone, finishing 2022 with eight total touchdowns. On film, he shows easy change of direction after the catch, he accelerates out of his cuts at the top of his route and can split two defenders at the third level. He stacks press corners immediately after beating them off the line, he uses multiple route tempos to confuse defensive backs and has strong hands through contested catches.      WR: Luke Melendez, 5'11" 155, Ridgewood, 2025   An electric return man with good vision combined with steady top-end speed. Luke's slippery in space, can battle through arm tackle attempts, and knows how to adlib to create YAC. He's physical when he needs to be, can find the soft spots in zone, and is a pure hands catcher.      DB: [player_tooltip player_id='271784' first='Jordan' last='Suggs'], 6'2" 175, O'Fallon, 2024   Suggs' recruitment has already taken off and I can see why, this kid has great vertical stature, polished footwork, and has a physical style of play that's not normally seen in cornerback prospects. He reads route concepts well, shows great anticipation, and can easily overlap in zone coverage. He's got a natural backpedal and eats up any intermediate routes.      ATH: [player_tooltip player_id='271905' first='Waleed' last='Johnson'], 5'10" 165, Plano, 2024   An explosive north and south runner with impressive speed and filthy contact balance. Johnson allows for his blocks to set up in front of him, has instant acceleration when a seam opens up, and is a well-tooled route runner working out of the slot. He's a quick processor of what's going on around him and has plenty of finesse for when the time calls for it.
