Class 2025 Rankings Update – Part 1

In this article:
When the updated player rankings were released on Monday, it was another exposure opportunity for seniors across the state to get their names out there for colleges to check out.
While all rankings are subjective, and we realize that, the one thing that separates us from anyone is we get out and watch the prospects that we list. From Pensacola to Key West and everywhere in between, we attend games, practices, camps, combines, 7-on-7 events and anything that has to do with sport.
There are two things to remember. 1 – we are indeed human and can miss prospects in the over 800 miles that high school football is played. 2 – These rankings will be updated in October and for the final time in January of 2025. If there is a player not mentioned, there is no need to stomp your feet on the ground and proclaim we are not a reliable source. Nothing could be further than the truth.
We make it a point to list everyone, so if you or someone you know is NOT listed, please send the name, position, height, weight and video link to: Floridakids1@aol.com. It's that simple.
Over the next few days, we will mention talent that has been added to these current rankings.
Thank you for your continued support in making Prep Red Zone Florida the most comprehensive and reliable in the state.
