2025 DL Prospects On The Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who are some 2025 defensive linemen seeing their recruitment pick up?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone has the details...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='339650' first='Caleb' last='Bell']– DL- Milton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top 2025 defensive linemen in North Fulton, Bell is coming off a fantastic junior season where he made 75 tackles, 10 TFLs, one forced fumble, 9.5 sacks, 17 QB hurries, one pick-six and two pass deflections. More importantly, the big 6-foot-3 260-pound lineman helped lead the Eagles to a big 7A state championship last year. He's a force on the inside who plays with good leverage, gets off blocks, and hunts down the ball-carrier. He's a good athlete for his size who plays with a high football IQ. He's big and physical, but he's quick for his size with game-changing potential on any particular play. He stepped up his game in a big way last year, and now, college coaches are noticing. The big Milton defender has earned recent offers from Louisville, Georgia State, Liberty, and South Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>JEREMIAH TICKET - 6'3 250 - Jonesboro</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An explosive, game-changing type of defensive lineman with a promising frame, Ticket lived in the backfield last year and was tough to block for opposing linemen all season long. Jonesboro is loaded with D1-caliber talent, and Ticket is among the best on the roster. After a big junior season where he made 65 tackles and 15 TFLs, Ticket is seeing his recruitment pick up. The talented junior defender has seen new offers come his way from Troy, Liberty, Georgia State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan, among others. He fires off the ball on a consistent basis, and uses his powerful hands to lock on and drive opposing offensive linemen backwards. He plays with good leverage and pad level which allows him to shed blocks and make plays in the backfield. He was very effective last season and it doesn't appear that his recruitment will slow down anytime soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Laderion Williams – OL/DL – 2025 – Douglas County (GA)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An Atlanta-area defensive lineman on the rise, Williams is a run-stuffing interior defensive tackle with plenty of size at 6-foot-5 305-pounds. A powerful defender who can take on a double team and still make an impact on any particular play, this Douglas County defender does a good job of clogging the middle of the trenches. He plays with good pad level and consistently finds his way to shove defenders into the backfield. His potential is easy to see and it's led to recent offers from Texas, Texas A&amp;M, Indiana, Georgia Southern, Tulane, among others. He's also made two sacks, one INT, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. His natural size and raw strength will only allow him to be better next season. As he continues to develop and create ways to turn into a promising pass-rusher as well, Williams Prep Redzone ranking will only rise over time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
