Three Predictions: Georgia’s DL class, Alabama’s OL class, Jahkeem Stewart
Rivals rankings director and nationwide switch portal analyst Adam Friedman has a trio of predictions concerning the top-ranked defensive prospect and the very best recruiting lessons on the offensive and defensive strains.
1. Georgia will signal the highest defensive position class within the 2025 cycle.
The Bulldogs are primed for a robust end to the 2025 recruiting class and plenty of of their prime remaining targets are defensive linemen. Georgia already holds commitments from five-star Elijah Griffin, top-100 prospect Isaiah Gibson, Rivals250 prospect Darren Ikinnagbon and a few three-stars.
The one different program with commitments from a number of defensive linemen within the prime 100 is Ohio State. Because it stands proper now, the Buckeyes have the very best class of defensive linemen however the Bulldogs have the within monitor for five-star Justus Terry and four-star Chase Linton.
Sure, Ohio State, Texas and Auburn seem like pushing for an enormous end on the defensive position however Georgia will do sufficient to assert the No. 1 defensive position class of the 2025 cycle.
2. The 2025 Alabama offensive line class would be the better of the yr.
Not precisely going out on a limb right here but it surely’s price pointing it out. Austin Pay is the lone uncommitted four-star offensive lineman. There are some potential flip candidates however not many who might influence Alabama’s declare to the No. 1 offensive line class on this cycle.
The Crimson Tide maintain commitments from 5 four-star offensive linemen, however 4 are within the Rivals250 and two are within the prime 100. Michael Carroll and Ty Haywood, Alabama’s two top-100 offensive line commits, are each borderline five-stars and Rivals250 commit Jackson Lloyd is a possible riser within the subsequent rankings replace.
Georgia, Oregon and presumably LSU are the almost certainly candidates to overhaul Alabama right here but it surely’s seemingly that the Crimson Tide end with the top-ranked offensive line class of the 2025 cycle.
3. The highest defensive prospect within the class can be somebody apart from Jahkeem Stewart.
Jahkeem Stewart‘s reclassification to the 2025 class was punctuated by his placement at No. 4 within the Rivals250. The extremely gifted defensive lineman from Louisiana is about to enroll in school for the spring semester however he has not performed a lot soccer at the highschool stage. We have seen him dominate on the camp circuit again and again but it surely’s no substitute for stay motion. What to do with Stewart within the last two rankings updates is among the largest questions of this rankings cycle.
Defensive linemen Justus Terry and Elijah Griffin are elite prospects in their very own proper they usually have the measurables to carry up as compared with Stewart. On prime of that, Griffin and Terry have dominated yr in and yr out on the sphere and, not like Stewart, neither Terry nor Griffin have participated within the offseason camp circuit. Primarily based on what we have seen from the 2 of them, I would be keen to guess that Stewart doesn’t end the 2025 rankings cycle as the highest defensive prospect within the Rivals250.
