Hidden Gems Among the Class of 2025

The month of June has come and gone. A lot of camps have taken place, offers have gone out, commitments have been made. We have seen a lot of student athletes finish up their camp season in recent days and begin to focus on their upcoming season. Now there are still a few camps coming up that PRZ WI will be at in July, so more offers are sure to come out. However, after this first month of camps I want to take a look at some athletes who may still be under the radar to make sure coaches know about them.    This is looking like a big time steal from the Milwaukee area. Jackson is a 6'3" 205 lbs ILB with the frame to bulk up at the next level. What he shows now, along with that frame, is the natural instincts to sniff out plays or feel the flow of the play and get to the lane unblocked. Jackson has a college level base of athleticism that shows up all over this tape, whether it be flying through gaps or getting outside the box to chase down ball carriers. The 205 lbs LB is a wrap up tackler that can be relied on to end plays when he arrives to the ball. Jackson is still looking for that first offer. Give him a look, or another look.      Asa is an intriguing DE prospect whose best football is still ahead of him. The GB Notre Dame product has rare length at 6'6". Length that college programs covet. Watching through the tape, Poister can get even better at using that length to win his battles. However, we do see him win with some hand use and more noticeably his lateral agility. Asa moves side to side rather quickly and suddenly for a kid with his length and 220 lbs on his frame. Pair a solid first step off the ball with that lateral agility and you have an athlete with so much raw talent to work with and coach up. Asa holds offers from Butler and Bemidji State. Don't miss out on the steal.     I have to believe it is a matter of time before a team extends an offer to the QB out of Brown Deer. Grayson has so many traits and tools that win at the next level. First off, he has the size at 6'4" 200 lbs. The incoming senior puts in the work too. His mechanics have gotten better and better every time I see him. Now he is able to create so much velocity because of that strong arm, but also because his entire body mechanics help create force that goes into the ball. Grayson will open up the entire field with his arm strength and his accuracy will be key to putting up points. McCain looks the part and always seems to grab attention at camps. Be the first to extend the offer.     Malachi has had a fantastic camp season, and it has led to his first two offers. One from Duluth and one from Northern State. It will be interesting to see if some more teams wait for game tape to come out this summer/fall or if they are preparing to offer him in their next round of offers. I was able to watch Malachi in person at the Badgers camp where he dominated the combine, drills, and 1 on 1s. He has legitimate 4.5 speed and is an explosive and agile athlete in short areas and as a route runner. Malachi dominates at the catch too. His catch radius is much larger than you would expect from a 5'10" WR. The '25 attacks the ball with impressive hops and soft hands. Be the next staff to offer this dude.     Logan has been getting out to several D2/D3 programs this offseason on junior day visits, including a trip to Carthage that led to his first offer. Logan is becoming an intriguing athlete who is flying under the radar. He has a well built frame that has developed a great deal of strength from his experience as a powerlifter in the offseason. Pair that with his track experience too and you get a 195 lbs athlete doing things like jumping a 37" vertical and 9'7" in the broad. Logan also offers position versatility. He has played LB, S, and RB with success. Don't miss out on Logan.     Connor is a big moment performer. I watched him twice in the playoffs, Level 4 and the State Championship. Both times he stepped up and made momentum swinging plays on offense and also was an impact as a DB. Connor has been working on showing that during this camp cycle, and it has resulted in an offer from River Falls. I believe that Connor can play either side of the ball at the next level with success, but it is worth noting he is camping as a DB. Looking through his camp tape so far, Durand is showing fluid change of direction, strong reactive athleticism, and physicality in man coverage that led to him making a lot of plays on the ball. The northern WI incoming senior has a lot to offer the next level. More eyes need to be on him this summer and fall.     Anders is one of the most productive athletes returning to HS fields in WI. He piled up over 1,200 all purpose yards in 2023 as a receiver and returner. Anders dominates with speed, vision, and overall instincts with the ball in his hands. Those traits allow him to play much faster than his opponents. Anders has gotten out and proven that athleticism this summer with times of 4.69 in the 40, 9'5" in the broad, 35.3". in the vertical and a 4.32 pro agility. The standout WR holds an offer form River Falls and their high-powered offense. More need to get eyes on the athletic and productive weapon. He is sure to have another great season this fall.
