Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted April 15 I'm not certain the author of this guesswork understands that CBS has gone B1G and is no longer the SEC's broadcast buddy. College Football's Top 150 Players of 2025: The definitive spring rankings, led by Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith - CBSSports.com WWW.CBSSPORTS.COM A year after pegging the Heisman winner, former All-American and first-round NFL Draft pick Blake Brockermeyer scouts and ranks the top 150 players 2025 This is an SEC-centric plus Clemson ranking. One saving grace is dart thrower Brockemeyer played ball at Texas and has Golden Child (and Grandchild) QB Manning ranked in the 40s. Don't come around the Forty Acres no more! No true freshmen were ranked. 6 Ducks ranked. 38 B1G players ranked. 6 Buckeyes, including No. 1 Jeremiah Smith. 5 players from Penn State. 4 from Illinois. Three B1G QBs ranked - 11 Drew Allar Penn State; 101 Luke Altmeyer Illinois; 137 Fernando Mendoza Indiana. Blue Chip Roster Michigan put two guys on the list, the same as UWho. No Sadaq, Boettcher, Thieneman. Matayo was the 10th ranked Edge Rusher; behind some guy from San Diego State. Isiah World is ranked 15th. The guy has a huge upside and I hope he plays as well as this ranking but he has yet to play a down of Power 2 football. Ditto for the second-highest-ranked Duck, Makhi Hughes at 43. Other Ducks ranked - 84 Poncho, 100 Evan Stewart, and 131 SC transfer E. Pregnon. On an already Blue Chip Roster, three newbies and three guys already with the program are ranked. If the author was an NFL scout, THIS take would get him immediately spit canned. THIS IS POSTED ONLY BECAUSE OF THE LOOOOONG OFF SEASON. Fire Away! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck Moderator No. 2 Share Posted April 15 My Aunt Mary could come up a Top 150 that would have as much gravitas as this one. It isn't even good click bait. If he wanted to be noticed he'd have had Smith out of the top 25. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike West No. 4 Share Posted Wednesday at 12:33 PM I liken lists like this to recruiting and the mock NFL Draft lists. All opinion, very subjective, and meant to be provocative. I don't pay attention to Draft analysis anymore. It's just dumb. I'm highly suspicious of recruiting services now as well. Not to mention, kids don't impress me anymore. They change their minds way too much (rightfully so since they really are just kids). It's all about programs and organizations to me. Who develops players, who really is a master at getting the most from their players. Who flat out wins. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevada Dawg No. 7 Share Posted Thursday at 05:26 AM Well no comment on the rest of the top-10, but I think the two Ohio State guys definitely belong there and probably Ryan Williams at #10 as well. Williams may be the most electric with the ball in his hands as anyone. The reception that won the Game for Bama against Georgia was something to behold. He alluded two pretty fair safeties, Malaki Starks, a likely first round pick in the NFL draft next week, and K.J. Bolden who is pretty far up there on this top 150 list, and made it look easy. The QBs though are often a crap shoot. and many are ranked far too high IMHO, I particularly get a kink out of how the Manning name seems to suggest to many that Manning will be the second coming of college QBs. He couldn't displace Ewers in any game that Ewers was ready to go (as I recall). He may be everything people think he could be, but let him prove it in at least a couple games that matter before anointing him the Crown Prince.
