2025 Players to Know Before the Season Starts

Today I will be discussing some 2025 players that everyone should get to know before the start of the season. They aren't the most well known players at their respective positions, however each brings a unique skill set to the game. These players are looking to make a big statement in their senior year. Now, let's dive into it!    Rogelstad is a must know name this upcoming season. He plays as a deep safety who will come into the box to lay the boom on unsuspecting ballcarriers. Measuring in at 6'0 180 pounds, Rogelstad accounted for 46 total tackles (33 solo, 13 assisted), 3 TFL, 3 PD. Liam has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, jumping, change of direction, and good speed. His mental processing impressed me. He was consistently looking at the QB's eyes and following the ball. He even read a WR screen, and jumped the route almost getting an interception. Rogelstad will also punch the ball out of the wideout's hands to create an incompletion or a fumble. Liam has a good back pedal which comes in handy when sticking to the WR in man coverage. Liam dominates in zone coverage. He's patient with his tackling. Not getting overzealous and missing his zone assignment. I'm excited to see how Rogelstad balls out this upcoming season.     Shaw is a versatile defensive back who can line up as a corner, safety, or linebacker. He measures in at 5'10 180 pounds. Shaw has very good athletic ability due to elite acceleration, very good speed, jumping, and change of direction. Shaw's hips are very fluid, allowing him to change angles on the fly. He will mirror the DB, and stick to them like glue, especially in man coverage. Shaw is good in zone coverage, locking it down. One aspect of his game that impressed me was his ability to stop the run. He tackles towards the ball carrier's center of gravity, stopping them in their tracks. He was consistently assisting his teammates in tackles as well. Shaw is a hard-hitting DB, lowering his shoulder and laying the boom, causing fumbles or incompletions. Shaw's versatility should bring him up recruiting boards, as he has multiple traits needed to excel at different positions.     Trusty is a dependable linebacker who gives valuable production his team. He measures in at 6'0 180 pounds. He has good athletic ability due to good speed, acceleration, and good change of direction. He showcases good mental processing by identifying the gaps and rushing them leading to a TFL. He will also follow the QB's eyes in zone coverage. Trusty is a very good run stopper. He sheds the block with ease and tackles towards the center of gravity. He uses his lengthy arms to wrap up the defenders and his very good strength to throw them around with ease. Trusty has very good competitive toughness as well. He was consistently assisting teammates with tackles. If he was beaten on one play, he'd get up and win the next. Trusty has a big season ahead of him, and I can't wait to see him succeed.     Another exciting running back to watch out for is Mr. Meyer. Meyer is a speedy elusive back, that gives that defense hell when he reaches the open space. Meyer has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, balance, acceleration, and change of direction. When the ball is in his hands, he uses his home run speed to get past the 2nd level defenders into the endzone. Meyer has very good vision, and demonstrates good mental processing by choosing/identifying the correct holes to run through. After he is handed the ball, he'll use dynamic cuts and dynamic spins at the LOS to juke out defenders. He isn't afraid to get physical, putting the shoulder pads down to create contact. Meyer is a very slippery back, taking multiple people to tackle him. Defenders were sliding off of him like a slip n slide. Meyer is good in pass protection, picking up the blitz allowing his QB extra time in the pocket. Meyer is an all around fantastic back that deserves more eyes on him as the 24/25 season gets underway.
