It has been a busy/exciting month for the 2025 prospect out of Elizabeth Forward. The 3x 1st Team All-Conference OT-DT currently holds 23 D1 offers. Let’s break down how this past month has been for him.

He most recently visited Bowling Green. Before that, he visited JMU where he picked up an offer from the Dukes. He’s also visited EMU, Indiana, Toledo, Ohio, Pitt, Akron, Old Dominion, Villanova, and Buffalo.

Climes has been offered by Bucknell, New Hampshire, Lafayette, Air Force, Colgate, Old Dominion, and Monmouth all in this past month. As I said before a very busy month for Christopher Climes Christopher Climes 6'2" | 270 lbs | DL Elizabeth-Forward | 2025 State PA !

Christopher Climes Christopher Climes 6'2" | 270 lbs | DL Elizabeth-Forward | 2025 State PA has some of the best films for an offensive and defensive lineman prospect. He has a good combination of strength and athleticism to play both positions. He shows off his athleticism at the offensive line by pulling out in front of ball carriers and blocking defensive linemen. He also does a nice job of blocking down and reaching defensive players. He gets off the ball quickly at the defensive line and then creates havoc for the offense. He has a great swim move, using it to get past offensive lineman. Climes recently picked up an offer from Eastern Michigan. He also visited Michigan State. I expect more offers to come soon.

Elizabeth Forward’s senior OL/DL received his first D1 offer to Youngstown State last week. He celebrated his first opportunity by having a standout performance to kick off the ’23 football season. Climes looked next-level, finishing the game with 8 tackles overall, 5 TFLs, and multiple pancakes on offense. Climes has received gameday invites from Eastern Michigan and Army so far this season.

Equally impressive OL tape, has OL/DL tape on Hudl, each seven minutes long. 13 sacks to his name, 52 total tackles with 18 of them being TFLs. Inside the top 90 in a class consisting of almost 700 prospects. 6’2, 270, desirable IOL build when projecting to the next level, trimming down a tad would make him an ideal fit to stay along the defensive front in the future. A disruptor and sack-getter coming through the A-gaps. Stationing Climes head-up on centers proved to be a productive decision from the staff at Elizabeth Forward, he blends balance, quick hands, and feet to leave IOL guessing. A multi-faceted approach to his engagements make him one of the more formidable interior defenders the state has to offer.
