1. DL Elijah Griffin — Georgia

School: Pooler Savannah Christian Prep
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 5 NATL. (No. 1 DL)

Scouting Summary: “Highly athletic, disruptive defensive lineman who looks like the top prospect along at the position in 4-5 cycles. Arguably the safest prospect, particularly among non-quarterbacks in the 2025 cycle. Measured at 6-foot-4, 300 pounds with 34.5-inch arms and 10-inch hands prior to his senior season. Has continued adding mass and strength. Flies off the snap and darts into the backfield to create disruption with regularity. A very loose and fluid athlete, particularly at his size. Plays with outstanding leverage and body lean. Shows advanced hands at the point of attack and quickly neutralizes offensive linemen. Darts into the backfield to make plays behind the line of scrimmage at a high clip. Consistently wins in a phone booth with his combination of length, strength and first-step quickness. Has the speed in pursuit to track down running backs from the back side. Plays with excellent effort, straining to make plays. Seemingly always shows up on a weekly basis.

“Posted phenomenal production throughout his high school career, with 182 tackles, 61 tackles for loss and 35.5 sacks as a sophomore and junior. Shows his functional strength and short area explosion in track and field, where he’s posted a 52-2 foot throw in the shot put. Posts eye-popping numbers in the weight room, with a 405 pound bench press, 550+ pound squat and 315 pound clean prior to his junior season. Projects as a top defensive lineman with the ability to line up and disrupt from multiple spots on a defensive front. Should make an instant impact at the college level and has definitive first round upside down the line.”

2. EDGE Isaiah Gibson — Georgia

School: Warner Robins
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 8 NATL. (No. 1 EDGE)

Scouting Summary: “Big EDGE prospect who creates a mismatch with his combination of rare physical traits, athleticism and power. Measured in at 6-foot-3.25, 263 pounds at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season, but looks to have trimmed down significantly as a senior. Has elite length and a big frame, sporting 35-inch arms and 10.5 hands. Runs well in the combine setting. Translates his physical ability over to the field while playing top competition on Friday nights. Highly disruptive and productive working as a defensive end at his high school, oftentimes lining up as a standup pass rusher. Finished his junior season with 17 sacks. Converts speed to power with ease. Knifes through the offensive line as a straight-line rusher. Fights through blocks. Shows the ability to beat double teams and finish with sacks. Has truly elite closing speed and is a violent finisher. Play speed and effort level allows him to make jaw-dropping plays in pursuit. Uses his length to corral ball carriers, sometimes with just one hand. Able to generate sacks that some others can’t due to his power and finishing ability.

“Also projects as a high-end edge setter due to his size and strength. Also plays basketball, showing his athleticism as a rim protector and dunker. Will need to continue honing his technical skill set as a pass rusher, adding moves to his repertoire. Winning more with his physical traits and effort at this stage. Ultimate size and positional fit is a bit ambiguous due to his fluctuating weight. Has a highly projectable skill set that points to an NFL future and the upside of being an early-round pick.”

3. DL Justus Terry — Texas

School: Manchester
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 9 NATL. (No. 2 DL)

Scouting Summary: “Explosive defensive lineman with a big frame and outstanding first-step quickness. Measured in at over 6-foot-4 and around 280 pounds prior to his senior season. Has good length with arms that are around 33.5 to 34 inches. Weight is evenly proportioned throughout his frame. Dominant while playing the small school level, tallying 78 tackles, 21 tackles for loss and 13 sacks. Lines up all over the defensive front at the high school level. Has the skill set to develop into a dynamic interior pass rusher.

“Wins with first step and lateral quickness, has rare get off and leverage for a player of his stature. Quality bend and ability to change direction. Uses his length to initiate contact consistently and sheds blockers with ease. Able to anchor and two-gap if needed. Will need to continue adding mass and play strength in addition to honing his technical skills. A high upside prospect given his natural traits who could develop into a true interior disruptor.”

4. LB Zayden Walker — Georgia

School: Ellaville Schley County
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 29 NATL. (No. 1 LB)

Scouting Summary: “Flashes a high-end combination of on-field athleticism and functional play strength. Lines up in both two and three-point stances off the edge. Shows noticeable first-step quickness off the snap. Very strong at the point of attack. Plays with excellent leverage and uses his strong lower body to move offensive linemen both as a bull rusher and run defender. Makes some eye-popping plays in pursuit, showcasing high-end athleticism in tracking down ball carriers from the back side. Doubles as a dangerous running back, using his athleticism and strength to pick up yards after contact. Helped his team to a state title appearance as a sophomore.”

5. TE Elyiss Williams – Georgia

School: Folkston Camden County
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 36 NATL. (No. 1 TE)

Scouting Summary: “Massive tight end with arguably the largest catch radius in the 2025 cycle. Measured in at a shade under 6-foot-7 and around 245 pounds prior to his senior season. Has plus length with arms that measure around 34 inches with large hands. Played in a wing-t offense as an underclassman before his team opened things up to a spread as a senior. Lines up split out wide, detached and in-line. Has mismatch ability as a jump ball target. Comes down with catches in crowds of three or four defenders. Made strides with his ball skills as a in his final two years. Shows the ability to track throws over his shoulder. Fluid mover and is coordinated, especially at his size. Able to stretch the seam. Tough to bring down in the open field.

… Shows good contact balance in breaking tackles. Has a nasty stiff arm. Finished with 25 catches for 530 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior. Had his best season as a senior, catching 54 passes for 789 yards and 11 touchdowns. Shows upside as a blocker. Has good play strength and doesn’t shy away from contact. Understands body positioning. Doubles as a top high school basketball player. Was a 1,000+ point scorer in just 2.5 years of varsity action and was regional player of the year as a junior. Needs a runway to get separation due to his longer stride length. Will need to improve quickness, change of direction and release to project as a high-level separator and after the catch, particularly in the intermediate area of the field. A physically-gifted in-line tight end whose ceiling will be determined by his ability to separate at all levels.”

6. QB Julian Lewis – Colorado

School: Carrollton
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 39 NATL. (No. 6 QB)

Scouting Summary: “Polished, productive signal caller with the skill set of an accurate distributor. Measured at 6-foot, 186 pounds with a 9 ⅜-inch hand at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Has been a touted prospect for some time, earning offers in middle school. Was initially a member of the 2026 cycle before reclassifying into 2025. A productive and efficient passer while playing in a high classification. Completed 66.4% of his passes for 3,094 yards (11.1 yards per attempt) and 48 touchdowns against two interceptions as a junior. Technically polished and is able to replicate his over the top throwing motion with consistency. Shows the ability to place passes without much variance in location. Quick and decisive decision-maker.

… Dangerous when working over the middle of the field on RPOs. Effective at working off of play action. Operates at a high level when in a clean pocket. Plays in an offense that often leans on the quick passing game. The youngest top quarterback prospect in the 2025 cycle, turning 17 years-old a month into his senior season. Not physically imposing at this stage and arm strength registers on the lower end among highly-rated peers at the position after reclassifying. Primarily an in-structure quarterback – needs to improve his ability as a rusher (zero rushing touchdowns through two varsity seasons) and improviser against pressure in addition to size and play strength to hold up against contact in the pocket. A skilled, high-floor passer whose ultimate ceiling will be determined by the degree of his physical growth and improvement in athleticism and movement skills.”

7. IOL Josh Petty — Georgia Tech

School: Roswell Fellowship Christian
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 42 NATL. (No. 3 IOL)

Scouting Summary: “Athletic, physical offensive lineman with positional versatility. Measured in at 6-foot-4, 255 pounds with 33-inch arms prior to his senior 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. Operates with a high level of conditioning playing on both sides of the ball. Good enough of an athlete to play on defense in college, though his upside is highest on the offensive line. Plays with a high effort level and physicality. Works to finish blocks with authority, driving defensive linemen to the sideline at times. 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 a state champion and state runner-up in back-to-back years. Also threw the shot put with a personal best of 40-8.5 feet as a sophomore. Faces a lower classification of competition at the high school level. Will need to continue adding good mass to his frame and lost weight from his sophomore to junior year. Younger for the cycle, with an August birthday. Could feasibly be a 2026 prospect from an age perspective. Could ultimately project at tackle or slide inside, but may project best inside given his skill set and dimensions. Skill set could particularly project well as a potential center.“

8. S Tae Harris — Georgia Tech

School: Cedartown
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 53 NATL. (No. 3 S)

Scout’s Take: “Tae Harris is a highly explosive athlete who turned in one of the more impressive combine showings during Under Armour’s 2024 camp circuit. He carries that speed over to the track, where he doubles as a top sprinter. 6-foot-3.25, 263 pounds. 35-inch arms, 7-foot-1.5 wing-span, 10.5-inch hand. Top combine athlete. Rim-protector and dunker in basketball.” Charles Power, Director of Scouting and Rankings

9. WR Travis Smith — Tennessee

School: Atlanta Westlake
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 71 NATL. (No. 10)

Scouting Summary: “Jump ball maven capable of eye-popping acrobatic grabs. Measured in at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds at the On3 Elite Series prior to his senior season. Has plus length for the position with 33-inch arms to go with 9.5-inch hands. Emerged on the national radar with a breakout early beginning to his junior season. Has outstanding ball skills and a very large catch radius. Made great catches while facing top competition as a junior. Elite body control and can hang in the air. Comes down with catches that many others couldn’t. Climbs the ladder to elevate for difficult grabs over the middle of the field.

…High-level ball tracker. Fluid mover with solid change of direction. Physical and fights through contact after the catch. Finished his junior season with 48 catches for 896 yards and 10 touchdowns. Needs to improve top-end speed to aid in downfield separation. More of a 4.7 type with his fastest wind-legal 100-meter time being an 11.69. Can improve hand strength at the catch point as gets some attempts dislodged by defensive backs. A very good contested catch and possession target who could develop into much more with an improved top gear.”

10. WR CJ Wiley — Georgia

School: Milton
On3 Industry Ranking: No. 73 NATL. (No. 11 WR)

About Wiley: “Milton High coach Ben Reaves Jr. can tell a lot of stories about what makes CJ Wiley special. But there’s one that stands out more than others. “This was the moment that I fully went all in on CJ Wiley,” Reaves told DawgNation.com. “We have a JUGS machine. He texted me one weekend in early August. He said ‘Hey coach, can I have the code to the shed? I want to come in on Sunday and get some work on the JUGS. So, I gave him the code to the shed.” The Sunday workouts became a ritual for Wiley – one he often share with his parents. His dad played at LSU and in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons, and his mom ran track at LSU. “What was great was while dad was feeding the balls into the JUGS machine then mom had got a pad or something and was giving him the business with that pad,” Reaves said. “Making him catch with contact. They are both out there working with him. Fully invested.” During the 2024 season, he racked up 68 catches for 1,473 yards and 14 touchdowns, leading Georgia’s Class 7A in receiving yards.”
