Where 2025 NFL Draft selections ranked as PRZLA prospects

Ten Louisiana natives heard their names called during this weekend's 2025 NFL Draft.   Eight of those players were prep prospects from the 2021 and 2022 recruiting classes — the first two covered by Prep Redzone Louisiana when the site launched in the fall of 2020.   Here's a look at the next round of league-bound standouts from The Boot and where they ranked in the early PRZLA days.   Note: The prospects are ordered by where they were selected in the draft. Heights and weights refer to the heights and weights during the rankings process in high school.     Will Campbell — 6-6, 290 OL — Neville (2022 No. 2) Round 1, Pick No. 4 — New England Patriots   The big Neville star was even more of a no-brainer top-tier prospect back then than he was now. Campbell stood out not only in terms of his size and strength, but his athleticism for the position, his mentality and attention to detail. He earned a starting role at LSU immediately as a true freshman, held the spot for three decorated seasons and Thursday became the program's first first-round offensive lineman since 1998, the highest-selected lineman in program history and the top lineman in the 2025 NFL class.   Tre Harris — 6-2, 205 ATH — Comeaux (2020 N/A) Round 2, Pick No. 55 — Los Angeles Chargers   Harris took some time to develop into the crafty route-runner and big-play pass-catcher who ultimately found his way into the second round Friday as one of the top-drafted wide receivers in the class. But, even playing primarily out of position in high school as the quarterback for another NFL-bound receiver in Malik Nabers, he was very much on the recruiting radar. Harris signed with Louisiana Tech where he spent three years before transferring to Ole Miss where he racked up more than 2,000 yards and 15 touchdowns in two SEC seasons.   Jack Bech — 6-3, 215 WR — St. Thomas More (2021 No. 10) Round 2, Pick No. 58 — Las Vegas Raiders   The Cougars' prolific pass-catcher was a top-10 overall prospect in a loaded 2021 receiver class that already saw No. 6 Brian Thomas Jr. and No. 7 Malik Nabers selected as first-round picks in the 2024 NFL Draft and could potentially see No. 4 Chris Hilton Jr. position himself well for the 2026 NFL Draft with a healthy season this fall. Bech spent two years at LSU before transferring to TCU for the next two, including a senior season in which he exploded for 64 catches for 1,034 yards, nine touchdowns and an All-Big-12 Second-Team selection, then earned Reese's Senior Bowl MVP honors and became a second-round draft pick   Trey Amos — 6-1, 195 DB/ATH — Catholic-New Iberia (2020 N/A) Round 2, Pick No. 61 — Washington Commanders   A third former prep standout from the Lafayette area in a span of just seven picks, Amos was a multisport standout at Catholic (New Iberia), whose route was similar to that of Harris from high school quarterback, to three seasons at an in-state college and then two in the SEC. Amos began his college career at Louisiana (Lafayette) before moving on to Alabama in 2023 and Ole Miss in 2024 where he had a career-high three interceptions and earned All-SEC First Team and various All-America Second-Team and Honorable-Mention selections.   Emery Jones Jr. — 6-4, 295 OL — Catholic-Baton Rouge (2022 No. 7) Round 3, Pick No. 91 — Baltimore Ravens   Campbell's partner-in-crime bookending the LSU offensive line the past three years was also a highly ranked prospect in the 2022 class from just a few miles from campus at Catholic (Baton Rouge). Jones earned playing time right off the bat as a true freshman, took over as the Tigers' starting right tackle by the SEC opener in the third week of the season and earned a variety of Freshman All-America recognition that season and All-SEC Second-Team honors as a sophomore and junior during a decorated college career in his own right.   Sai'vion Jones — 6-5, 235 DL — St. James (2021 No. 3) Round 3, Pick No. 101 — Denver Broncos   The St. James edge rusher was the No. 3 ranked player in the first class following the site's launch behind a pair of fellow LSU signees. Former Terrebonne defensive lineman Maason Smith was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in last year's draft, and former Lafayette Christian defensive back Sage Ryan transferred this offseason to finish his college career at Ole Miss this fall. Jones, a long and speedy prospect coming out of high school, meanwhile bulked up about 50 pounds during his time in Baton Rouge, ramped up his production each year and developed into a team leader and versatile defensive line draft prospect that former New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and former LSU defensive line coach Jamar Cain and company traded up to select Friday.   Trevor Etienne — 5-10 RB — Jennings (2022, No. 14) Round 4, No. 114 — Carolina Panthers   The younger brother of Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne made his own way to the NFL this week after three SEC seasons — two at Florida, then this fall at Georgia — in which he racked up more than 2,000 rushing yards and 400 receiving yards overs his college career. Etienne was among the headliners for a strong 2022 running back class in Louisiana and earned a mid-round selection in a loaded running back class in this year's NFL Draft. While Harris, Bech and Amos all transferred out of state, Etienne was the highest-ranked prep prospect and highest-drafted prospect on this list to initially sign out of state.   Barryn Sorrell — 6-4, 255 DL — Holy Cross (2021 No. 16) Round 4, No. 124 — Green Bay Packers   The Holy Cross defensive lineman was one of the higher-ranked prospects in Prep Redzone Louisiana's initial rankings class in 2021 at No. 16 overall and No. 3 among defensive linemen behind only Maason Smith and Sai'vion Jones. He signed with Texas, where he earned a pair of All-Big 12 honorable-mentions nods as a sophomore and junior before having his most productive season yet as a senior in the Longhorns' first year in the SEC. He racked up career-highs of 44 tackles, including 11 for loss and six sacks, this fall.   Dylan Sampson — 5-10, 180 RB — Dutchtown (2022 No. 17) Round 4, No. 126 — Cleveland Browns   Another of the top-ranked running back prospects in Louisiana's strong 2022 class, Sampson rewrote the record books at Dutchtown High — including a career 4,927 rushing yards — then went on to doing the same at Tennessee with single-season marks of rushing yards (1,491) and touchdowns (22) and consecutive games with a rushing touchdown (11) during a nearly 2,500-yard and 35-score tenure in Knoxville, Tenn. He went off the board just a few spots   Cam'Ron Jackson — DL/OL — Haynesville (2020 N/A) Round 5, No. 140 — Carolina Panthers   The big trench standout for the Golden Tornado and a one-time LSU commitment before curveballs late in his recruiting process landed him at Memphis to start his college career. Jackson still ultimately found his way to the SEC in 2023, though, at Florida. And playing 70 pounds bigger than his high school days, he developed into a big-bodied run-stuffer in Gainesville who finished his two seasons there with a combined 69 tackles, including 4.5 for loss and 1.5 sacks.
