As we prepare for the upcoming college football season we want to take a look at several players who are looking to have a breakout season in 2025. Here are the top players to watch:
Oregon QB Dante Moore. Replacing former starters Bo Nix and Dillion Gabriel won’t be easy. The former 5-Star recruit had a red-shirt season in 2024 after passing for 1,610 yards and 11 touchdowns in “23”.
Washington QB Demond Williams. The Sun Bowl performance last season could be a preview of the 2025 campaign for Williams. Williams threw for 374 yards and four TD’s in that game. A full off-season at Washington will be a plus.
Nebraska QB Dylan Raiola. Raiola was inconsistent last season as a true freshman. Now the former 5-Star recruit has a full season under his belt. Getting more weapons around him will help.
Ole Miss QB Austin Simmons. Simmons will finally get his shot after spending time behind Jaxson Dart. His showing against Georgia last season may be what we expect.
Notre Dame WR Jaden Greathouse. Did you see what he did against Penn State and Ohio State in the CFP? Those kind of numbers can make him an All-American.
Clemson RB Gideon Davidson. Davidson is the front runner for the Tigers backfield. The consensus-top-five prospect amassed more than 7,000 yards in HS.
Tennessee WR Mike Matthews. When the Vols figure out their QB situation Matthews will flourish. Matthews is another 5-Star prospect with ample opportunities to make an impact.
Penn State TE Luke Reynolds. Filling the shoes of NFL draft pick Tyler Warren will be difficult to do. Reynolds is the #1 TE prospect from the class of 2024.
Colorado OL Jordan Seaton. Seaton is the heart-and-soul of the Buffaloes OL. In 13 starts last season Seaton allowed on 3 sacks.
Ohio State DL Eddrick Houston. Ohio State lost a bucket load of talent from the defensive line. Houston will ease the pain, especially if he lives up to his “spring game” potential.
Alabama DL LT Overton. Overton came ready to play for the Tide last season. He recorded 42 tackles and two sacks from the inside. He also registered 32 QB hurries.
Georgia S KJ Bolden. Bolden is ready to emerge as a star for the Bulldogs. He played in 14 games in “24” recording 59 tackles.
