Best Uncommitted Additions From the '25 Rankings Update

The Class of 2025 has been a heavily covered group. We have been at several camps with them, covered 3 years of games with them. Yet we are still finding new names that college recruiting departments need to be aware of. These athletes have put themselves on our radars, and hopefully the radars of college programs. Either way, we are here to shine the spotlight on them to ensure that everyone knows who they are going forward. These are the top new additions that are also uncommitted. Enjoy!    Michael is the top new addition in the rankings update and he is the top uncommitted offensive lineman in the state. I was able to watch Michael in person and the big man definitely looks the part of a future D1 OL. The tape also highlights traits of a D1 prospect. Michael is very agile and light on his feet, giving him the range to get up to the second level or get out in space on screens. He has that unfair, overpowering strength in the run game to bully his opponent off the line and create positive flow along the trenches. Smith also has natural flexibility and is able to keep himself in positions where he can instantly create power on contact. The standout OT also is a difference maker on the DL for Wisconsin Lutheran. Big things ahead for one of the top uncommitted players in WI.     The best new WR in the senior rankings is Waterford's [player_tooltip player_id='1380111' first='Carter' last='Thompson']. He started off camp season strong earning an offer from Western Illinois and from Mankato. I'm predicting we see a few more join that pursuit when the senior tape starts to come out. Carter has hard to find size/athleticism/strength for the WR position. The 6'4" 220 lbs athlete has sub 4.60 40 speed and his size, catch radius, and leaping ability make him dominant in the deep passing attack and in redzone scenarios. Carter does a great job of finding the ball and positioning himself to have the best chance at winning jump balls or tracking down over the shoulder passes downfield. He is a physical, tough matchup for CBs. He should turn even more heads this season.     The small school standout has put together a great summer. I first came across Daniel while working on an article this spring. Since then he has gone on to have a great camp season and earned offers from Drake, Carthage, Northern State, and Grinnell. The 6'2" 210 lbs athlete lines up all over for St. Mary Catholic, but LB looks like his natural home at the next level. His strengths fit the position, earning him a Top 8 LB spot and the highest debuting LB in this update.   As a pass rusher, Daniel utilizes a quick first step and active hands to get positioning and leverage to quickly defeat OTs. He also has the body control and bend to be able to dip underneath OTs on his pass rush path. Daniel also has shown he is an option at TE where he is an impact blocker and a reliable receiving threat. The versatile athlete is going to put up big numbers this fall.     Another athlete who has seen his stock rise this summer is New Richmond DB [player_tooltip player_id='1380131' first='Abraham' last='Monson']. The 5'10" 170 lbs DB has 4 offers from Dordt, Minnesota State- Moorhead, Eau Claire and River Falls. If the senior can put up a similar season to his All-Region junior campaign then we could see more join that group.   The senior CB brings fluidity and athleticism to the position. Abraham easily transitions out of his backpedal, or changes directions with ease and is able to quickly accelerate to top speed. He has that quick twitch reaction to be able to play man to man and he has also shown great awareness needed to make plays in zone coverage. The senior also has impressive hands that flashed over and over in his junior highlights. Abraham is a playmaker out on the perimeter and one of the top senior athletes in the state.     Despite coming off of an All State Honorable Mention TE performance in 2023 the 6'4" 220 lbs TE out of Cedarburg is still looking for that first offer. There is a lot to like about this hidden gem too. Luke has proven success lining up out wide and at the traditional TE alignment. At both spots he has proven he can get clean releases off the line. Once in the open field the long striding athlete covers ground and quickly finds opening or creates separation for his QB to target. The big target is a natural hands catcher who easily plucks the ball out of the air. The TE is also an accomplished run blocker. His highlights are full of examples where he is able to completely remove his man from the designed gap or wash his man down the line of scrimmage. Luke is an athlete that can have an impact in the run and pass game. Check him out.     One of the most productive athletes returning to the field in 2024 is Stevens Point's [player_tooltip player_id='1163087' first='Jackson' last='Spees'] and his 9 INTs from 2023. Despite the success, he is flying under the radar to this point. Jackson has great instincts and play recognition that shine on tape. He is quick to recognize plays and instantly attacks the ball. The DB also has excellent range, showing he can go from a deep third to the line of scrimmage to make tackles against the quick passing game. The ball skills are unquestionable as well. Jackson seems to always be around the ball and when he gets his hands on it you usually see the possession arrow switch. The cherry on top is that Jackson is a fearless tackler and run supporter. I believe he has a future at CB or safety at the next level with his traits. He needs more attention.     One of the most explosive playmakers in the state, and new RB3 here in WI is Appleton East's [player_tooltip player_id='1303653' first='Kyreese' last='White']. The 5'7" 170 lbs playmaker dominated at camps this summer where he consistently posted some of the best numbers among hundreds of participants. That has led to offers from Platteville, Oshkosh, Minot State, and River Falls.   It seems like every time this kid touches the ball we see a long score or a field flipping play. His acceleration with or without the ball is so explosive. If the defense isn't right there to corral him Kyreese can turn the smallest glimpse of daylight into a highlight reel worthy play. The athletic RB also has the feel and vision with the ball in his hands to find those seams and blocks consistently. The senior is a slippery runner is space too. He can make DBs/LBs miss with lateral agility then get back to top speed in an instant. I'm excited to see the plays he creates this fall.     Kaden has put himself solidly on our radars here at PRZ WI, and we are ready to watch him put together an impressive season playing both RB and LB for Shawano. The impressive athlete holds 4 offers entering the season. That includes Stevens Point, Oshkosh, River Falls, and Upper Iowa. The junior tape shows an aggressive, hard hitting LB who shines against the run. Kaden does a great job of playing downhill and never waiting for the ball. Even when he has to pursue laterally he is still working downhill to meet the ball at the line of scrimmage. The senior is slippery in the trenches, avoiding offensive linemen and then delivering those big hits. Ewert also brings that same physicality to the RB position where he piles up yards after contact and also has some elusiveness to his game to make LBs miss one on one. It is looking like a big year is ahead for Kaden and the rest of the Shawano team.
