2025s I Would Offer Today

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Use code Johnson30 for 30% off a subscription!</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The offers have begun to flow into the Class of 2025. Many of the top names have earned FBS and FCS offers, and a few of them have already announced their verbal commitment to college teams. Despite the influx of offers there are still plenty of prospects that are sure to earn D1 offers that haven't yet. As I have been working through the 2025 Rankings update several have jumped out to me as big time risers from their current rank and as surprises because they don't have an offer yet. That is our focus today. The athletes that don't have an offer currently, but I would offer them sooner rather than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384572"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"With each of the athletes in this article there is a sense that it is only a matter of time until they see the offers their talent deserves. However, of all the athletes Kevin is the one I'm most surprised hasn't joined the ranks of offered athletes. I'm confident when we get to summer camps and coaches can see him in action in person he will break through. Understandable, but the tape is already showing a player with talent and a very high ceiling. Kevin brings the length and overall size coaches demand at the DL position. The junior also moves well laterally and can run out in space to make the chase down and effort plays. Kevin is also a strong athlete that does well to get his hands involved in the trenches. When he puts that all together at summer camps we will see the offers, but it will be interesting to see if any teams decide to get ahead on his recruitment and extend an offer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8b21"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17571279/653fbdfdda5c260cc4010ef2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8bcd"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["685855"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A junior who made a big jump in he 2023 season is D.C. Everest's [player_tooltip player_id='685855' first='Oscar' last='Latendresse']. He is just shy of 6'4u0022 and is now 285 lbs. Oscar carries it on his frame very well, and his feet underneath that big frame are not hindered. Oscar has become an athletic OL prospect. We see him pull, he is able to get deep in his kick slide during pass protection and can run his man past the QB. Latendresse is also able to play with the lateral movement to stay square on his man while also maintaining leverage. Oscar is so easily able to overpower his opponents and does a great job of finishing with violence. I'm predicting Oscar is one of the big risers this offseason on the recruiting trail.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8c2c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16268135/65bc49c8b53f500bf8b6f79f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8c4c"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["685845"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The 13 receptions for 180 yards and 3 TDs won't blow you away, but don't let that scare you away from the ape. Ben is well on the rise as I work on the 2025 rankings update. Especially now that he is tipping the scales at 240 lbs at 6'4u0022. As a receiver, Ben has proven that he can stretch the field up the seam. He has the speed to get behind LBs, and is fearless going up and making the catch in front of closing safeties. Verges also uses that big frame to box out DBs in jump ball scenarios making him an effective redzone option. Ben also makes a big impact as a blocker in he run and pass games. He can be utilized out in space because he has he agility to be able to stick on corners. Then you can put him in he backfield or next to the OT and have him drive DEs off the ball or pull across the formation and lead up to the second level. Between the still growing frame, athleticism, and well rounded game don't be surprised to see the offers start to roll in his offseason.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8ca5"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16345838/64fe231ae97bbd0608fab1d8' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8cc3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["942598"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Jerzy is another athlete who will see a jump in the rankings when they debut in the next couple weeks. He dominates on both sides of the ball, but DB is where his future is at. The now 6'2u0022 200 lbs athlete handles the physicality of the sport with ease. His frame has the power needed to get off blocks when he plays in the box to stop the run, and that's strength carries over to his tackling. Jerzy has also shown that he can be asked to play over the slot where he has the awareness to undercut routes, strength to jam at the line, and the feet/hips to be able to turn and run. Brocker is another athlete who I believe will start to truly turn heads this summer when he starts getting athletic testing numbers to go along with his well documented physical play style.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8d16"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16062792/6564bdaed45e7a03d413dfa3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8d33"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["685843"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another impressive physical specimen is Hudson's WR/S [player_tooltip player_id='685843' first='Tyler' last='Lessard']. The  6'4u0022 200 lbs junior looks the part of a high level college prospect. He plays the part too. On offense, Tyler maximizes his catch radius with soft hands. After the catch he can beat a defense with his long speed and with his power including a strong stiff arm. The junior is a mismatch in the redzone as well. Tyler also plays with a high sense of awareness that stands out on both sides of the ball, especially defense. Lessard is able to sit in his deep zone, read the field/QB and close on the ball. I could see him on either side of the ball at the next level, but I have a hard time not seeing him shine brightest as a receiver.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8d85"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17103477/6533dd40041e09073851143d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8da1"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["613154"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"We end with an OT who seems to get better and better every time I watch him. The St. Cat's LT is now up to 6'4u0022 280 lbs, proving that he can definitely handle the size required to play high level college football. Being big is only part of the equation. Being able to efficiently and quickly move that mass is the hard part. Grabher doesn't make it look hard though. He is a dancing bear, winning with lateral slides to cut off DL or exploding out of his stance so he can quickly get in position to wall off DL and get the leverage advantage. We also see the junior's ability to stick on blocks thanks to his quick feet. That led to him driving some blocks 20+ yards downfield before finishing them. The big LT also brings the power needed to move the line of scrimmage downfield as he drives his man off the ball or into the ground. Size, athleticism, power and even more potential to tap into are all there in Xzavier. Check him out.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8df6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16274142/65352c9fa6765707989bce9b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65de8050a8e12"} /-->
