2025 Stock-Risers: Players Boosted into Top 20

Some athletes skyrocket their stock shortly after their Junior Season. A lot of the time, rising Juniors are the ones earning those D1 offers. Other times, D1 programs have their eye on certain players, waiting to see their Junior year performance. This article includes five prospects who were ranked top 60 in the last update but have since skyrocketed into the Top 20 following a great year.    #41 --> #11 One of the highest-risers in this update is East Lansing Running Back [player_tooltip player_id='587870' first='Jace' last='Clarizio']. Since the last update, I've been able to re-watch his tape plus watch as B1G 10 teams offered scholarships. On the field, Jace is an incredibly well-rounded running back. First off, Jace has the elite top speed and open-field twitchiness needed to earn Division 1 offers. Jace holds something that truly separates him between those MAC prospects and a good B1G 10 prospect; power. Jace is an extremely strong football player with high-tier contact balance, stamina, and the ability to run through people. Paired with his athleticism, Jace is one of the top Running Backs in the midwest. I think Michigan State is an amazing fit for Jace, and I think he'll find a lot of success there.     #52 --> #7 Last update, I was optimistic about Justin, but I frankly didn't expect the attention he's recently received. Justin is a mauler on the O-Line, and sports ideal size and length to be an elite offensive tackle at the next level. His fundamentals are still a tad raw, bit those are widely negated when you dominate on the field as much as Justin does. A great B1G 10 offensive line prospect, and I expect Justin to contribute to Michigan State fairly soon.     #43 --> #14 Cam is another prospect who has had a meteoric rise since the beginning of 2024. Last season, Cam displayed a ton of improvement, and had the breakout season he needed to propel himself to being a D1 prospect. At first, he picked up MAC offers. As camp season rolled on, Cam began receiving offers from a ton of B1G 10 schools. Watch his film and you'll see a ton of fundamental prowess plus physical dominance. I especially like his first step, overall balance, and initial pop he brings to the defender. I'd like to see a bit better agility, but that's a bit nitpciky. He's committed to Wisconsin and I expect him to contribute at the next level!     #37 --> #16 I'm a big believer in Adiran Walker Jr from Belleville. This is an elite athlete on both sides of the ball and someone who has kept up his hard work through this offseason. Offensively, Adrian sports an explosive release, solid route-running, and extremely good contested catching. Although he's "undersized" Adrian walker can climb the ladder, make one-handed catches, and more. Defensively, he's a polished DB. Belleville players have an extremely good track record at the next level, and I fully expect Adrian to perform incredibly well at Miami.     Watch List --> #20 I straight-up overlooked [player_tooltip player_id='571062' first='Mason' last='Mayne']. From Lawton, Mayne has ideal power, size, and length for a defensive lineman. He most often lines up as a 0-3 tech, making him a prototypical DT. There, Mason is able to fire off the ball and bench-press the opposing offensive lineman. I have rarely seen someone who can bull rush as dominantly as Mason. Looking at his Twitter, Mason is able to squat 525+ while being one of the best Throwers in the state (shotput). Mason is coming off an incredible calendar year, and I hope he develops well at Northwestern.
