Another 2025 standout on the offensive side of the ball is going to be

who comes to the Rams after standing out on both sides of the ball at Rejoice Christian. Auschwitz, who is a notable baseball prospect as well, was outstanding as a wide receiver and then a hard-hitting linebacker on defense. We’re intrigued to see how the Rams use Auschwitz and if he leans to one side of the ball or the other. Because he certainly has the potential to play both sides and the Rams are going to need some new linebackers to step up after losing quite a few to graduation. But either way, Auschwitz is going to provide a spark to the Rams on either side of the ball and potentially both sides. He’s a 2025 prospect that we really thought took the next step last fall in becoming a two-way star with Rejoice and could be an instant impact player for Owasso.

Now at Owasso,

is a two-way player that we really like and are interested to see how he transitions from Class 2A ball at Rejoice Christian to playing in the state’s largest class. We think he belongs and is going to fit in just fine and it will be interesting to see how the Rams use him this fall. Last year, Auschwitz lined up at wide receiver as well as a roving linebacker for Rejoice and only time will tell if he ends up playing on both sides of the ball for Owasso. After talking to a few coaches this offseason, it sounds like Auschwitz is a pretty strong baseball prospect as well, which makes the move to Owasso make even more sense when you throw in the baseball component. We’ll definitely be watching him closely this fall.

Arguably the most versatile linebacker in the state’s 2025 class is Rejoice Christian sophomore

. We like him as a linebacker when it comes to playing at the next level but when we’ve watched him in person or on film, there’s no doubt that he’s one of the best athletes on the team for Rejoice and they use him accordingly. You’ll find Auschwitz on offense as a wide receiver or closer to the line of scrimmage as a hybrid tight end. Then on defense, Auschwitz can play a little safety as well as linebacker. But based on his physical build and athleticism, we like Auschwitz at the linebacker position. Take your pick on where along that line but we think that’s what the future holds for him. He was outstanding for Rejoice in 2022 and we’re looking forward to seeing more of him this spring and summer.

When it comes to Rejoice Christian, they have a few players in this 2025 class that we’re not sure what position to put them at but we know that they’re football players and could end up playing at the next level. Another perfect example of that is

, who we currently have rated as a linebacker in our last 2025 ranking update. After checking him out on film and then again in person this fall, Auschwitz might end up being a linebacker or a safety at the next level and we think that he could excel at either. When we watched him in person earlier this season, the thing that jumped off the pages at us was his hitting ability. And it wasn’t just on defense. Auschwitz would fly down the field on kick offs and lay the hammer down in a big way. We love his ability to not only deliver a big hit but he tackles and wraps up incredibly well in space. Auschwitz is a versatile defensive prospect we’ll be keeping an eye on.

While Wilson might have been the main attraction, there were other prospects that we were very excited about watching up close and in person on Friday night and one that stood out in all three phases was sophomore

. On offense, Auschwitz is a big body that gives the Rejoice a tight end look. On defense, he’s a hard-hitting linebacker that was causing a lot of problems for Cascia Hall along the line of scrimmage. He even had one of the hardest hits of the night when he nailed a Cascia Hall returner on a kick off. Auschwitz is a 2025 prospect that’s been on our radar since the end of last season and Friday night was our first chance to really see what he could do in person. He can run, he can hit and he has good size. We like his potential moving forward but we’re still on the fence on what his natural position will be at the next level. With how he hits, we’re leaning to the defensive side of the ball.
