High product measured in at the On3 Elite Series at 6-foot-3.25, 263 pounds with 35-inch arms and close to a 7-foot-2 wing span. Gibson is a top-shelf athlete at that size, running in the 4.7’s at Under Armour’s Atlanta camp. The high-end physical traits show up on the field, where the Georgia pledge lines up as a jumbo pass rusher.
“Though he figures to have competition as the top EDGE prospect in the cycle, Gibson could continue to make a strong case with improved consistency as a senior.

School: Jacksonville Raines

16. OT Andrew Babalola (-1)
School: Overland Park (Kan.) Blue Valley Northwest

17. QB Keelon Russell – Alabama (+9)
School: Duncanville (Texas)

Russell seems to make incremental improvements each time we see him. He has well-rounded skill set with good zip on his passes and bouncy movement skills. At 6-foot-3, 181 pounds, Russell has room to continue getting bigger and stronger. The Crimson Tide pledge will be playing in some big-time games at Duncanville (Texas) High this fall.

19. SAF Trey McNutt – Oregon (+1)
School: Shaker Heights (Ohio)
Scouting Summary: “Trey McNutt is a rangy safety prospect who has the ability come downhill and be a force player in the run game, play center field as a single high safety, or match up in man to man in the slot. Tremendous versatility in the secondary at the next level and beyond. Physical and violent player, not afraid to stick his head into traffic and make plays around the line of scrimmage. Excellent burst and trigger out of his backpedal.
“Strong ability to read and diagnose what offenses are doing in front of him.

The game moves slow for him at the prep level.

Highly productive as a sophomore, rushing for 2,237 yards and 37 touchdowns at 11.5 yards per carry and is continuing to play at a high level midway through his junior season.

Has been touted as a high-profile prospect, earning offers as a middle schooler. Measured in at around 6-foot-0.5, 185 pounds with a 9.5-inch hand prior to his sophomore season.

24. TE Elyiss Williams – Georgia (-1)
School: Folkston (Ga.) Camden County
Scouting Summary: “Elyiss Williams has a rare combination of athleticism and size for the tight end position.

26. QB Husan Longstreet – Texas A&M (-1)
School: Corona (Calif.) Centennial
Scout’s Take: “Texas A&M pledge Husan Longstreet touts arguably the strongest arm in the cycle. Longstreet has an absolute bazooka. The 6-foot-1, 200-pounder’s explosive arm talent is among the best we’ve seen at the Elite 11 Finals over the past few years. Longstreet is a twitched-up passer and mover. The Texas A&M commit can rip fastballs, but showed some improved accuracy and ability to layer the football at the Elite 11 Finals.

Has lined up as a receiver, running back, quarterback and cornerback for his high school team. Measured in at around 6-foot-3, 215 pounds with good length. Registers as a strong athlete in track and field posting 6-4 foot high jump and wind-aided 10.83-second mark in the 100 meters as a sophomore.

Shows the ability to separate and make plays at the catch point at wide receiver. A nimble ball carrier with the ability to pull away when he lines up at running back.
“Could potentially grow into a jack-of-all-trades offensive weapon capable of lining up in the backfield, split out wide or as an H-Back. Also an intriguing option as a back seven defender. Has a linebacker frame with corner athleticism and fluidity. Has true positional ambiguity but an extremely versatile and useful skill set.

School: Roswell (Ga.) Fellowship Christian
Scouting Summary: “Josh Petty is an athletic, physical offensive lineman with considerable developmental upside. Measured in at 6-foot-4, 265 pounds with 33.5-inch arms prior to his junior season. Two-way standout working at offensive tackle and defensive end for his high school. Shows high-end movement skills. Easily works to the second level. Light on his feet and moves with fluidity.

Shows strong flexibility and core strength, coming off the ball low and firing through his hips. More advanced as a run blocker than pass protector at this time, but has the athletic ability to pass block at a high level with further development.
“A strong wrestler, finishing as the state runner-up as a sophomore. Also throws the shot put with a personal best of 40-8.5 feet as a sophomore. Faces a lower level of competition at the high school level. Could ultimately project at tackle or slide inside. Will need to continue adding good mass to his frame. Younger for the cycle, with an August birthday. Could feasibly be a 2026 prospect from an age perspective.”
30. TE Linkon Cure – Kansas State
School: Goodland (Kan.)
Scouting Summary: “Linkon Cure is a gifted jumbo athlete who looks like one of the top tight end prospects early on in the 2025 cycle. Has unverified size.

Lines up both split out and in-line on offense. Shows a large catch radius.
“Contorts his body to make high-level grabs. Comes down with contested catches in traffic. Has the ability to take it to the house after the catch. Also plays defense. Looks like a man amongst boys. How he measures and looks in a neutral setting will add much more clarity to his evaluation given the lower level of competition he faces.”
31. QB Matt Zollers – Missouri
School: Royersford (Pa.) Spring-Ford
Scouting Summary: “Matt Zollers looked like the top playmaker among 2025 quarterbacks on junior film and continued to show his physical skill set throughout the offseason. The 6-foot-3.5, 203-pounder has a live, loose arm and high-end movement skills. We saw the arm talent on display at the Elite 11 Finals. While there is room for improvement with his overall consistency, we viewed Zollers’ showing as more impressive than initially thought after reviewing video from the camp. The Missouri commit excels in live settings.
“We saw this during the 7-on-7 portion of the Elite 11 Finals when he threw six touchdowns, tying for the most on the day. As one of the few current multi-sport athletes among top 2025 quarterbacks, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the consistency improve once he fully focuses on football.”
32. LB Riley Pettijohn – Ohio State commit (+2)
School: McKinney (Texas)
Scouting Summary: “Riley Pettijohn is a supremely athletic linebacker with a high developmental upside. Measured in at around 6-foot-1.5, 215 pounds prior to his senior season.
