<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our 2025 class rankings are here! Thank you to our Regional Scout&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/PRZPAvic" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vic Castillo</a>&nbsp;for all the work he put in putting these rankings together. Stay tuned for our 2026 rankings that will be coming out next.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In this article, I cover some lower ranked prospects that you should know. We were very impressed with the amount of quality players in the class of 2025 and I want to make sure these names do not go unnoticed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1231454"],"_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":"I have mentioned Demetrius u003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/2024/02/class-of-25-26-prospects-to-know-from-twitter-film-analysis/u0022u003ebeforeu003c/au003e, but I want to mention him again. He is a key piece to Blue Ridge's defense, and he is versatile across the field. While we have him ranked as an LB, I believe his speed would allow him to be in a hybrid S/LB role at the next level. His film jumps out to you as you see his speed, explosiveness, and strength. He has yet to receive an offer and coaches need to take notice of his game.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/profile/16491656/Demetrius-Allenu0022u003eHudl u003c/au003e/ u003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/Demetrius_52u0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["809697"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Brooke Point's QB has been on Carl and I's radar and you can read what Carl previously wrote about him u003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/2024/02/virginia-class-of-2025-quarterbacks-to-watch-part-2/u0022u003ehereu003c/au003e. If you are looking for a competitor at QB, look no further as he has the confidence and mentality you want at the position. He can play in the pocket but has the mobility to evade the pass rush and move outside of the pocket while keeping his eyes downfield to make a throw where he displays good arm strength and accuracy on his throws. Be sure to keep an eye on him this fall as he leads Brooke Point.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003cemu003eu003ca href=u0022https://twitter.com/DombekGabrielu0022u003eTwitteru003c/au003eu003c/emu003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1231538"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Owen is another player that I really like.

He is stout against the run and has the athleticism to use speed to pass rush on the inside. I believe he has the ability to play multiple positions across the defensive line due to his combination of strength and athleticism at his size.

He is versatile playing WR and Safety/LB on defense and is listed at 5'9”, 170 lbs. on Twitter/X. As a WR, he shows the ability to change his speed in his route stems to confuse a DB. Shows good hands and runs with good elusiveness but has some run strength too. He has no issue playing physical to gain extra yards. On defense, he shows the ability to process route schemes while in Zone coverage and displays good ball skills. He can be sent on a blitz and make an open-field tackle. Shows ability in special teams and should be able to contribute in this phase early at the next level.
