This article will briefly look at five players from the class of 2025 who are poised to emerge as breakout college recruits.
Anderson is an outstanding player with legitimate potential to emerge as a big-time sleeper. He was the featured back at Legacy and rushed for just under 1,400 yards on the season. He fits the mold of a three-down back who can run with power between the tackles and break away at the second level, provide protection as an extra blocker for the pass, and add to the air attack as a receiver who is dangerous in space. Anderson is a talented running back with the potential to be a top-tier recruit, making him a steal.
Highlights
Sanchez is a radar pop-up who should be on the invite lists for the college programs in the area. His willingness to fly downhill and be a physical tone-setter helped him tally 82 total tackles from his free safety position. His fluid movements and ability to read the field enable him to hawk over the top, which has helped him secure two interceptions and two pass breakups on the season. He is a versatile defensive back who can lock a receiver in man, play in the box, or cover deep over the top. Sanchez is an under-the-radar player coming off a breakout junior season with the potential of earning a handful of offers before the end of next fall.
Tucker is a radar low-flyer with a high ceiling. He is a speedy running back with good vision and the ability to change direction and exploit cutback lanes. He is an explosive runner with sharp cuts, impressive bursts of speed, and excellent body control. His ability to keep his legs moving while running with a low pad level makes him difficult to bring down. Tucker is a standout runner who deserves to be on the radar, making him a prospect to watch.
Reitan is a newcomer to the radar who had a solid junior performance. He does a great job as a coverage corner because of his ability to move while reading the field like a free safety. He has the instincts and athleticism to be in the right spot and make a play on the ball. His corner techniques are still a little raw, but his downhill playing style and natural abilities make him a true standout. Reitan finished his junior year with two interceptions, four pass breakups, and three field goal blocks, making him a prospect with a legitimate upside.
Shelton is an under-the-radar wide receiver who is worth a closer look. His frame and overall speed make him a standout prospect with serious potential. He does a good job focusing on the ball and making catches away from his body. His athleticism makes hims a versatile player who could contribute on special teams, adding to his value. Shelton has a real opportunity to build a solid reputation as a potential recruit, making him one to look out for during camp season.
