The question of what position he will play truly remains a question for me, as for my money, John Forster John Forster 5'10" | 185 lbs | ATH St. Joseph Regional | 2025 State NJ is the most versatile prospect in the class. Forster’s elite speed is matched with an unimpeded ability to change direction, where defenders absolutely must defend him from the sideline. In the passing game Forster is a mismatch, particularly in the slot, where he also uses his hands to catch. A disciplined ball carrier, Forster runs his track extremely well and follows his blocks. Pass protection is a priority too for the rising senior, as we see his is physical and will fearlessly pick up blitzers. With is speed, vision, disciplined, agility, and instincts, Forster is a prospect that must be identified on the field each and every snap.
