2025 Peach-State Prospects On The Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Which peach-state prospects are becoming big names in the state?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone has the details...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1313887' first='Dylan' last='Villarouel'] - North Forsyth</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A sleeper right tackle on the rise in Forsyth County, Villarouel has several offers right now, but he showed last year that he's 100% capable of playing at the power five level. He brings plenty of size and length at close to 6-foot-4 and around 300-pounds, and his film from his junior year is really strong. He moves well for his size, shows good footwork, and long arms that allow him to latch onto defenders and drive them backwards. The 2025 class in Georgia is loaded with terrific offensive line prospects, and this North Forsyth tackle is still one of the state's most underrated. He's big, physical, and does a great job of opening up running lanes on the right side. He's also a promising pass-protector with his nearly 79-inch wingspan and ability to bully smaller defenders. His best football is still way ahead of him, and more offers could come his way sooner than later. He's one of the top offensive line prospects in the area and bound for a gigantic senior season in 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1315944' first='Amari' last='Wilson'] - Colquitt County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A bulldozing defensive lineman who plays with outstanding leverage and quickness in the trenches, Wilson is an impactful interior defensive lineman from South Georgia who lived in the backfield last season as a junior for the mighty Colquitt County Packers. The 6-foot-3 225-pounder from Moultrie made 70 tackles last season with a team-leading 21 TFLs and three sacks. He put consistent pressure on the QB all season long from the inside and showed a great motor for someone at his position. He gives really good effort on every play and it allowed him to become one of the very best and most destructive defensive line prospects in South Georgia for the 2025 class. He flashed easy big-play ability and versatility last year, and is bound for another outstanding senior season next fall. He has power five talent, and now this fast-rising defender has earned a new offer from N.C State. He's a reliable run-stuffing, pass-rushing lineman who could see more offers come his way soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='338661' first='Caleb' last='Ellis'] - DL - Milton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A productive and versatile defensive lineman for the 7A state-champion Milton Eagles, Ellis is a physically put-together defender with good size at 6-foot-3 250-pounds that allows him to play both on the edge or inside, depending on the in-game situation. He's quick off the snap and does a good job of holding the point of attack to keep running lanes closed in the trenches. He plays against excellent competition on a weekly basis and held his own all year long. He may have not lit up the stat sheet like some of his teammates, but that's to be expected playing on the defensive line. Still, Ellis was able to make 39 tackles, four TFLs, and one fumble recovery. He plon a loaded Milton defense, and one that could lean the Eagles to a second-consecutive state title in 2024. He's earned new recent offers from Wofford and Delware, with more to possibly come his way over the next several months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
