Under The Radar 2025 Prospects: Part II

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">In-depth evaluations of some of the top 2025 prospects that deserve more recruiting attention going into their senior season.</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Excellent defensive football player that plays bigger than his 6'0” 170 lb. and has a knack for making game changing plays in big moments. He's an instinctual LB with a high football IQ to read and react to plays as they are developing. Limits wasted movement by being patient with his read steps but has a quick trigger to break on the ball and close space. Great athleticism and movement skills to be equally effective as a run filler or dropping back into zone coverage. Shows high level technique and fundamentals, especially as a tackler. Takes good angles in pursuit, can drop his hip level to break down in space, and accelerates his feet through contact at the POA. Racked up 163 total tackles as a junior and his only real knock is his size but he could easily transition to a Safety at the college level.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RockyStallworth/status/1780821147766182381 </div></figure>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading"></h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Decausmaker has picked several FCS offers (NAU, Morgan State) but has the combination of length, speed, and athleticism to play at the FBS level. At 6'4” 170 lbs. he can run and stretch the field vertically and compete for the ball at the high point. Flashes high level body control and coordination at the catch point. Attacks every ball with his hands and is able to extend and adjust his body based on ball flight and trajectory. Fast out of his stance, he accelerates off the line with a strong drive phase to close DB's cushion and force them to transition. Shows good footwork at the top of his routes and while releasing against both press and off coverage. Speed makes him dangerous after the catch. Extremely under recruited and expected to see a bump in attention from D1 programs going forward.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jd_decausmaker/status/1731469827599208929 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Mountain View's top overall lineman anchored both sides of the line for the Toro's in 2023. Strong compact frame at 6'0” 290 lbs. with natural power in his hands and lower body. On the defensive side, he's a tough block with his strength at the POA being able to press defenders off his body and shed to free himself up. A plus athlete at his size with natural movement skills and good initial quickness off LOS to gain quick penetration at the snap. Moves well in the short area to chase the ball carrier between the tackles or collapse the pocket as a pass rusher. Active hand usage and placement against longer offensive lineman allows him to fight off contact. As an interior offensive lineman, he's got quick feet with plus lateral agility to stay in front and match movement. Voted First Team All-Region at both OL and DL. He's a force on both sides that is deserving of more college recruiting attention.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/tavitataase_78/status/1781029638082625695 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Impressive three sport athlete (football/baseball/basketball) with great size, length, and growth potential as a college level TE. At 6'4” 200 lbs. he's got high level athleticism and coordination skills. Possesses smooth movement skills and can run. Reach and leaping ability give him a large catch radius and shows natural hands at the catch point. Great hand eye coordination to maintain concentration and catch the ball in traffic. Not just a short/intermediate TE, can also push vertically and attack the middle of the field. He's a tough tackle after the catch combining his speed and strength. He's quick to get square up the field and can break tackles with good contact balance at the POA. Easily recruitable as a TE with D1 size, skill, and ability.</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">Scheller was forced to miss his junior season due to surgery but has the size, length, and athleticism to be a quality D1 prospect. At 6'3” 290 lbs. he's a force on the interior DL with his ability to control the LOS and be a two-gap defender. Violent hands with a powerful initial punch at the contact point. Possesses a strong anchor to take on double teams and plug the middle of the defense. Uses his athleticism and moves well in the short area to track down ball carriers and rush the passer from the inside. Can work laterally down the line or chase down backside. Flashes good command and technique of a variety of moves to beat blockers at the POA. Transferred to Basha from Chandler to play his senior season.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/b_schell90/status/1742764915323195819 </div></figure>
