1. THERE WILL BE A NEW NO. 1 IN THE FINAL 2025 RANKINGS
There’s yet another 2025 rankings launch following the all-star occasions and even when Bryce Underwood doesn’t play in any of these (No. 1 Tavien St. Clair is predicted in San Antonio) there’s a actual probability the Michigan quarterback will find yourself within the high spot.
That is nonetheless up for debate however the Belleville, Mich., standout who flipped from LSU to Michigan proper earlier than signing day, has now began training with the Wolverines throughout bowl prep and he appears to be like wonderful.
From his bodily dimension, to the best way he strikes, to the best way he releases the ball, even in a follow setting, Underwood appears to be like like the highest participant within the nation. It’s unlikely St. Clair will play early as five-star Julian Sayin is ready within the wings whereas Underwood is principally the man in Ann Arbor from Day 1.
Ultimately, each St. Clair and Underwood are going to be very extremely ranked within the ultimate launch. St. Clair has one million traits we love however Underwood is perhaps much more particular as he takes over the No. 1 spot.

2. ELYISS WILLIAMS WILL END UP A FIVE-STAR
It doesn’t make sense that we completely love this tight finish class but we nonetheless don’t have a five-star tight finish. That may change by the tip of this rankings cycle after the all-star occasions.
Georgia’s Elyiss Williams, Tennessee’s DaSaahn Brame and Kansas State’s Linkon Remedy are our three favorites and there are quite a few the explanation why there shall be a five-star tight finish by the tip of this cycle with Williams main the best way.
There’s normally no less than one tight finish taken within the first spherical of the NFL Draft and Williams is the very best guess. He isn’t solely a bodily freak present however he strikes so nicely for somebody his dimension, and he has gentle arms.
I’m to see Brame and Remedy, particularly in a padded setting, since Remedy has been very restricted with what nationwide occasions he’s finished.
However we love this tight finish class. There’s some wiggle room so as to add just a few extra five-stars. And Williams is on the high of this listing thus far.
3. WE ARE DONE WITH FIVE-STAR QBs IN THE 2026 CLASS
It is perhaps manner, manner too early to make this prediction however as I take a look at the quarterback listing for 2026, sure, I believe we loaded up with five-star quarterbacks early and we’re most likely finished on the place.
After all, there shall be numerous debate and motion alongside the best way. However with Ryder Lyons, Tennessee commit Faizon Brandon, Jared Curtis and Florida State pledge Brady Smigiel main the best way, that’s most likely it by way of five-star quarterbacks.
Two gamers shall be carefully watched among the many group although as Texas commit Dia Bell and Jackson, Ala., standout Landon Duckworth are essentially the most intriguing.
If there’s a quarterback worthy of five-star standing, he’ll get the bump, however proper now I’m proud of the 4 we’ve got and sticking with them.
