Early is a freakish athlete with an elite frame and build. He’s begun to flash and show big potential rushing the passer and being versatile on the defensive side of the ball. He’s got all the traits and makings of an elite DE type of prospect. He’s also got a high motor and is a hard worker. If Early begins to pick up national attention soon, I wouldn’t be shocked.

Ludington is a fun defensive lineman who can develop into something special down the road. He’s got great length and burst. His length allows him to reach and extend into gaps most defensive lineman can’t reach. His burst allows him to win on the outside and make play after play. Being an Indy guy right in the heart of the city, he gets plenty of opportunity to go against other high level players and show his value.

Quickly becoming one of my favorite recruits in the 2025 class as a whole is the small school stud from Gas City. Just an hour south of where I live, I made the trip to a Mississinewa game this past fall and Ott was all over the place. Defensively at LB running down player after play and offensively being a true TE. Blocking, delayed outs, and making contested catches down the field. I’m a big fan of Ott and hope he gets the opportunity he deserves.

Bursting onto the scene and having a stellar year was the big play back out of West Lafayette. Their offense was fun to watch last year and Martin was a big reason why. His versatility out of the backfield and vision give him so many advantages on the field. They used him out of the backfield quite a bit as a pass catcher as a junior. He still then rushed for 1300 yards and 17 TDs. Easily one of the more consistent backs in the class and deserving of more eyes.

If any back in the state has the chance to come out and have a massive breakout year, I’m betting on Thomas. He’s got his feet wet and looked good when given his chances. As he enters his senior year, he should take the reigns. He’s an explosive and dynamic back who has great vision and can cut back at any given moment. I like how he runs with a purpose and has paid his dues developing and waiting for his chances. He’s talented and should take advantage of this opportunity.
