I swear there are time in his film where it looks like he lined up in the opponents backfield before the snap, he is that quick off the football. Primarily lining up at defensive tackle (which makes sense given his size) Holt flies to the football and he does a great job with his pad level and balance to keep him aware of any play action passes. Another uncommitted prospect who has more than enough offers to go around, Holt will surely end up at a division 1 school when all is said and done.

South County Defensive lineman/tight end Hunter Malecki Hunter Malecki 6’3″ | 250 lbs | DL South County | 2025 State VA has been on an absolute terror this off-season, picking up 5 FBS offers in two months! Malecki’s star has risen since his monster junior season which included 100 tackles and 9 sacks. If you follow this site you should know I have been a fan of his work for quite some time:
The Stallions had another deep playoff run as it comes expected in Lorton at this point. To get back for a possible title run next year, the continued excellent play of guys like Hunter Malecki Hunter Malecki 6’3″ | 250 lbs | DL South County | 2025 State VA will certainly help. Malecki is a 6’3 defensive end with great speed off the edge when he tallied 9 sacks last fall. He is a pure pain to block as he not only has top notch speed but he is one of the stronger lineman in the county and if he gets his arms extended on you, look out.

Checking out Zeke Chinwike Zeke Chinwike 6’6″ | 240 lbs | DL Ocean Lakes | 2025 State VA ‘s tape he reminds me of a combination of Osi Umenyora and Vonn Miller, between his reach and his explosion this is a cant miss prospect. Standing at 6’6 and 240 lbs. the young man out of Ocean Beach High School has a plethora of offers including one most recently from UCONN. Chinwike plays in a good conference in Virginia Beach and has a long reach and power forcing many schools to double team him nearly every snap. Number 8 at his position group and 53rd overall watch out for this young man, he will be causing havoc in his opponents backfield very soon.

We have told you about Hayfield’s potential star in the making Ian Hall Ian Hall 6’3″ | 200 lbs | DL Hayfield | 2025 State VA before and his stock has continued to grow. Coming in as our ninth ranked defensive linemen, Hall cracked our overall top 100 for the 2025 class without any major Power 5 offers (yet). This goes to show how impressed my co-workers and I were with his work, do not fret anyone offers are coming soon. With new Head Coach Daryl Overton in the fold, it is best to be sure that not if but when the offers do come. When my co-worker and Northeast Recruiting Director got wind on Hall’s tape he could not get enough:
Hand usage is a huge plus, can witness Hall using numerous moves, many of which aren’t pre-determined before the snap. Can counter if his bull-rush doesn’t hit. Can work off his post/strong arm, witnessed chopping the hands of weak tackles. Hand usage and arm length have this kid winning reps more times than not. Explosive hips, Hall is forcing tackles onto their heels and off-balance thanks to said explosion off the ball. Inside moves, outside moves, primarily stationed in a four-man front, a 4-3 traditional edge rusher who is going to be a serious problem at the next level once he improves his lower body strength. Hall fits right in with some of the best pass-rushers the state of Virginia can provide. Skills and traits would translate to OLB easily, in my opinion, would lessen the urgency to put on 20 pounds. Someone needs to invest in this young man’s game, likely will be worth your while.

I will be honest when I first saw where Battlefield’s Cameron Binkowski Cameron Binkowski 6’1″ | 225 lbs | DL Battlefield | 2025 State VA landed in our rankings it was surprising he was not higher. Nabbing close to 20 FBS level offers and strong family tree, we have another Binkowski on our hands that is/has already cause mayhem in the Cedar Run district. He had 22 sacks (not a misprint) as a junior, playing in one of the better conferences in the state. For those who may not be aware of his family name, his older brother Brandon was a star for the Bobcats the past few seasons and is now taking his talents to Villanova. Cameron may and quite frankly should end up a power 5 school, what position he plays at the next level should be interesting to monitor.
