Just a one-spot increase in the spring update, but George Washington LB Hunter Giacomo Hunter Giacomo 6'0" | 190 lbs | LB George Washington | 2025 State WV cemented himself as a Top 10 prospect in the 2025 class. Giacomo finally earned that pesky first D1 offer from App State back in February with other programs maintaining their interest in him. I fully expect that number to grow over the spring and summer as he continues making college visits and gets in front of college coaches in person. If Giacomo makes as big of a jump from his junior to senior year as he did from his sophomore to junior year I expect he’ll have some options at the next level come signing day. It’s going to be fun to watch the friendly competition between him and fellow 2025 LB Guner Flores Guner Flores 6'1" | 205 lbs | LB George Washington | 2025 State WV for who finishes in that #1 linebacker spot when the final rankings drop after next season.

Our #1 ranked 2025 LB Hunter Giacomo Hunter Giacomo 6'0" | 190 lbs | LB George Washington | 2025 State WV from George Washington proved us right this month with his first D1 offer from App State in early February. I expect that number to grow over the next few months before his senior season as more D1 eyes appear to be on this loaded 2025 class in WV. Giacomo has received interest from other D1 programs such as Maryland, Miami (OH), and Columbia, and I would expect more G5 schools to jump in with an offer sooner rather than later. He’s a no-doubt D1 prospect, but the thing to watch with Giacomo is whether P4 schools will pull the trigger on an offer. He made a big jump from his sophomore year to his junior year and is growing into his new linebacker role well both physically and developmentally. With the athletic traits he has, I think it’s possible he’ll get some P4 looks, but his floor is undoubtedly G5.

George Washington linebacker Hunter Giacomo Hunter Giacomo 6'0" | 190 lbs | LB George Washington | 2025 State WV makes a big jump in our 2025 Rankings and is now considered a Top 10 player in the class and the #1 ranked LB. Giacomo was previously ranked as a DB but played mostly outside linebacker this season where he led the Patriots in tackles with 104 along with two sacks and two interceptions. He’s gotten bigger and has maintained the athleticism that he had when he was a DB making him an intriguing prospect. While he may not have prototypical linebacker size at 6’0 190, Giacomo could potentially play a hybrid LB/Safety role at the next level as he has quality traits for both positions. That versatility of being able to play in the box or drop into coverage makes him a D1 caliber prospect in our eyes and Giacomo should see some offers from that level in time.

George Washington junior Hunter Giacomo Hunter Giacomo 6'0" | 190 lbs | LB George Washington | 2025 State WV is a safety/linebacker hybrid type of player and could play either position at the next level depending on how his body develops over time. I like him as an outside linebacker who can cover the slot man-to-man but still get downhill and rush the passer and defend the run. Giacomo is a fluid athlete that runs well and is agile which serves him well in pass coverage. He’s put up 10+ tackles in multiple games this season and really has a nose for the ball. Giacomo has also seen plenty of touches on offense this season at receiver which shows you how athletic he really is. He’s been garnering D1 interest and I believe he has the potential and ability to play at that level.
