4 Potential Big Breakout Candidates In The 2025 Class

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We've got 4 really talented players in the 2025 class who could easily have a huge breakout season this fall. These 4 have already flashed, showed a ton of potential, and have a lot of ability waiting to be unleashed. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='925395' first='Bryce' last='Compton'] - Wheeler - ATH - 6'0" 170lbs</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Compton is a dynamic player who has the ability to move all over the field and make big plays. He's a decent receiver who can take the top off the backend. He's got the speed to get behind the defense and be that deep threat for 6. He's then shifty enough to be used in the short-area game and make things happen. He's also carried the ball for them as well, just helping out wherever he can. He's more than capable and athletic enough to move around and survive. Last year he put up 18 yards per reception and had a long TD of 61 yards. He didn't have a ton of volume, but enough to get a good feel for what he can do. You have to imagine as a junior his role grows even more, which is why Compton feels like an obvious big breakout player to me.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@BryceCompton_1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='862568' first='Mason' last='Keifer'] - Brownsburg - DL - 6'3" 250lbs</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keifer is a physically impressive young lineman who is only going to cause more havoc this fall. He first caught my eye at a camp earlier this summer, but then after I went in and took a better look, I felt like he needed a better look. He's a versatile big DL who can move anywhere on the front. He's strong enough naturally to handle his 1-on-1s and win with ease. He's rather explosive as well, so he's able to get home in a hurry. For his age, he's got a few decent swim moves and nice technique to break off from the OL. He's able to string plays east and west when needed as well. Last season, he put up a fairly respectable 43 tackles, 21 being solos, 5.5 TFLs, 2 sacks, and a forced fumble. An overall stellar year for an upcoming DL who could be one of the best when it's all said and done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@Mason_Keifer</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='925394' first='Judah' last='Hochstetler'] - Northridge - WR - 5'11" 155lbs</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hochstetler is a decent recruit with a good amount of potential on either side of the ball. He's got the speed and range to be a good DB and the same lengthy strides that would get him downfield in a hurry as a WR. At WR, he looks good overall. He's got decent hands and can run some solid routes. While he doesn't have a super-defined route tree, it's clearly growing. He looked good last year in some Saturday games and he then got a little bit of Varsity action to get his feet wet. Every time he's stepped on the field, he's been able to adapt and come through. He looks good, has the raw talent, and should have plenty more opportunity this fall. I think he'll thrive most in the slot because of his ability to be shifty and settle in the zone, but he could develop outside as a deep threat as well. Hochstetler, for all these reasons, remains a heavy Watch this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@JudahHochstetl1</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='925393' first='Noah' last='Stuczynski'] - Scecina Memorial - OL - 6'0" 255lbs</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stuczynski is coming off of a nice sophomore season where he proved his worth upfront. More specifically, at Center. He's got a nice quick snap and then for his size, is able to get up and moving rather quickly. He's not stiff and actually bends fairly well. He's got a really strong lower body which does great at anchoring him down when he sets his feet. If he can get his upper body to match the same strength, he could become a nightmare overnight. He's good on the move and is quick enough to be that lead blocker. He then can set a base in the passing game, he just needs that upper body strength and to stay off his heels a touch more, and that should all clean right up. He even had some work on defense last year and the same traits offensively came through for his defensive game. While he's primarily their starting Center, stats aren't kept, but to put up 18 tackles, 1 sack, and 2 hurries as a guy just trying to get some extra work is fairly impressive. I like Stuczynski and think he's just scratching the surface of his potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Twitter: <strong>@NoahStuczynski</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
