quote:

1. QB Bryce Underwood – LSU

School: Belleville (Mich.) Scouting Summary: “Bryce Underwood is the early top quarterback prospect in the 2025 cycle. A top arm talent and plus athlete who is among the more physically gifted quarterback prospects in recent cycles. Measured at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds with a 10-inch hand the spring after his sophomore season. Owns a big-time arm with the ability to drive the ball with velocity to all levels of the field. Throws a very tight spiral that amplifies the velocity on the tail of his passes. Has shown advanced nuance and skill as a passer early on. Comfortable delivering over the middle of the field from within the pocket. Consistently sticks the ball on receivers against tight coverage. Shows the ability to layer passes with touch and high-level location.




quote:

7. CB DJ Pickett – LSU (-1)

School: Zephyrhills (Fla.) Scouting Summary: “DJ Pickett is a dynamic, explosive two-way playmaker who looks like one of the top defensive back prospects in the 2025 cycle. A big-time two-way player as a receiver and defensive back. Has a thin, lean frame at over 6-foot-2 and around 170 pounds. An extremely twitchy athlete who also excels in track and field. Turned in sensational marks in the 100 meters (10.62 seconds) and 200 meters (21.69 seconds) as a sophomore. A natural playmaker on Friday nights. Pairs his plus athleticism and easy movement skills with high-level instincts and ball skills. Has elite range as a deep safety.



quote:

20. RB Harlem Berry – LSU (-4)

School: Metairie (La.) St. Martin’s Episcopal Scouting Summary: “Harlem Berry is the most electric running back in the 2025 cycle. Possesses elite burst and effortless movement skills. Measured in at over 5-foot-10 and around 180 pounds prior to his junior season. Registers as a high end athlete with elite speed on the track and in the combine setting. Won state titles in the 100 and 200 meters as a sophomore with times of 10.57 seconds and 21.43 seconds, respectively. Most importantly, transfers his outstanding top end speed onto the field in a functional way. A threat to take it to the house on any touch. A light, springy mover who shifts gears and changes directions at full speed. Displays outstanding vision. Reads blocks and bursts through the line to the second level. The game moves slow for him at the prep level.

On3 Industry is simply a conglomerate ranking based on all raking services. The On3 Rankings…if they are the reference…are better IMO. Why would On3 GAF what Rivals think?

On3 has proven to be the best IMO in recent years. Their industry rankings deal has a place and it is brilliant from a marketing standpoint.

To give the appearance these rankings are unbiased and not driven by subscription sales.

I still have no idea why 247 has Berry so much lower in their rankings than all of the other sites. That is the only reason why his composite ranking isn't higher.

Industry is the key term.

On3 didn’t update ‘their’ ranking…the On3 Ranking did not change…the On3 Industry ranking, which simply polls the other top 4 ranking services did.

Sucks when journalists focus on the Industry ranking instead of On3’s internal one that is better. But it does seem effective for them…this Industry ranking is quoted everywhere.

No. 1 nationally in position (On3) for our top 3 2025 recruits is the key ranking IMO.

The board shows 4 five stars. 24/7 shows 3. Why is there not 4? Anyone know why? It always seems these ranking sites short LSU.

Didn’t I hear somewhere that WR Derek Meadows was a 5 star?

Yes 247 rates Meadows as a 5* but On3 rates him as a 4*

That’s what I say every time, be proud and bullish on their rankings.
I use the different method I take the highest ranking from each service and agree with whomever wholeheartedly. Makes me happy and our Class much better.

Cool, but he’s still a 5 star, so that means we have 4 five stars, correct?

S Jhase Thomas (+242) went from #571 to #329 in On3's Industry Rankings after their last update

DE Damien Shanklin (#66) & IOL Devin Harper (#84) had decent jumps inside the top 100 as well
