2025 Biggest Rankings Risers

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">In-depth analysis of some of the biggest risers in the recent 2025 state rankings update.</h2>    Harrison made the biggest jump out of any 2025 prospect in the recent PRZ rankings update. He's a slashing RB at 5'10” 160 lbs. that also made plays on defense at DB. He charges the LOS quickly with decisive cuts and a strong burst through the first level. Makes the first guy miss with good lateral agility and vision to find an open running lane. In nine games this season, he rushed for 900 yards and 10 touchdowns. Holds 12 offers from D3/NAIA programs but has been picking up more attention at the D2 and FCS levels as of late.      Girard moved to inside the top 150 overall. He's a three-year varsity starter and three-time All-Region selection at DB. He's natural in coverage showing strong instincts and anticipation skills. Shows he can matchup with some of the top receivers in the state with good technique and route recognition. Does a good job tracking the hip of the WR and staying in phase at all three levels. Plus ball skills, he competes at the catch point to rack up PBU's. Good ability to break down and be a reliable open field tackler while wrapping up to the ground. Holds four D2 offers to date from South Dakota Mines, Sioux Falls, Jamestown, and Black Hills State.      The Horizon QB moved up 88 spots to #90 overall in the 2025 class after a strong senior season that flashed his dual-threat ability. Voted All-District Offensive Player of the Year and First Team All-Region he threw for over 2,000 yards and 20 touchdowns while adding 500 rushing yards and 11 more touchdowns on the ground. He's a smooth passer with a quick/compact over the top release. He gets good air and touch on the deep ball while also showing he can throw his receivers open at the short/intermediate levels with precision. Calm in the pocket and under pressure, he's quick into his drop landing with a well-balanced throwing platform ready to deliver. Shows he can feel the rush and step up in the pocket to throw an accurate ball with defenders in his face. Like that he doesn't sacrifice any accuracy when throwing off platform or from different arm angles. Led Horizon to its first Open division playoff appearance since 2019 and the #7 ranked team in the state. Picked up his first D1 offer from Valparaiso in November to add to his offers from Western New Mexico and Minnesota State-Moorhead.      Kavalami jumped 82 spots to #114 overall. At 6'2” 225 lbs. he's a versatile defender that can effectively play multiple positions including DE or LB. He's active playing aggressively downhill to be disruptive to opposing offenses against the run and the pass. Quick to read and react with a fast trigger to break on the ball and close space. Good ability to redirect and chase using his athleticism and speed to track down ball carriers sideline to sideline. High football IQ to process information and put himself in position to make a play anticipating where the ball is going and taking good angles of pursuit. Strong at the POA, he brings heavy thump and drives his feet through contact. Finished his senior season with 68 total tackles, 21 TFL, and eight sacks. Recently committed to Colorado State-Pueblo over offers from Lake Forest and Fort Lewis.      Excellent senior year for the two-way athlete out of Fountain Hills. Led the state in receiving yards for the regular season and broke school records for receptions, touchdowns, and yards finishing with 71 catches for 1,250 yards and 20 touchdowns while adding 56 tackles, 9.5 TFL, and three interceptions on defense. At WR, he shows good twitch and separation ability while seeing heavy coverage. Shows high-level body control and coordination to attack the ball in the air and make tough contested catches in traffic. He tracks and adjusts well and flashes the ability to extend and play a ball outside his framework. Plus route runner that gets in/out of his breaks and accelerates to create space from the defender. Big play threat after the catch that can use his speed and elusiveness to breakaway in space. Holds an offer from Wisconsin-River Falls but deserves more recruiting attention.
