Top247 update: Introducing the 32-player, 5-star field for the Class of 2025

10. Zayden Walker, LB: Walker’s personal-best 52-foot, 5-inch toss in the shot put ranks second-best amongst the linebackers inside the new-look Top247. The Ellaville (Ga.) Schley County product offers a ton of position versatility as he can create pressure with his burst and power out on the edge while also crashing gaps and stopping the run on the inside with his instincts. Walker plays a violent brand of football and that could have him on the field early.

11. Kaliq Lockett, WR: Lockett assembled one of the best junior highlight reels out of anyone in the country, catching 59 passes for 1,299 yards and 13 touchdowns. The high-flyer out Sachse (Texas) is on the slender side, but the growth potential is evident as camp measurements reveal that he’s got larger features. Lockett explodes out of his breaks while climbing vertically and isn’t afraid to go over defenders to make grabs. More notably, he can land and escape tackles.

12. Justus Terry, DL, USC commit: Terry is a big, rugged run-stopper that moves people at the point of attack with his strength. He can plug gaps with his quick-shed capability and frequently get around double-teams. The Manchester (Ga.) product needs to improve his game plan as a pass rusher and embrace the idea of bringing it every snap, but he has what it takes to be a true difference-maker up front and we saw that at the Under Armour Next Camp in Atlanta.

13. Josh Petty, OT: Petty is a decorated wrestler that has been a full-time, two-way player at Roswell (Ga.) Fellowship Christian School. His background on the mat frequently shows up in pads as he uses superb body control to manhandle assignments. Petty will need to add mass in the coming years, but he already plays with a mean streak and is versed in hand-to-hand combat. He will have to adjust to a higher level of competition, but we’e bullish on the potential. 

14. Andrew Babalola, OT: Babalola is a former AAU basketball player that’s still new to the game of football. He has the size to swallow up pass rushers and is athletic enough to stick on the left side for the long haul as he figures out the nuances that come with protecting the corner like timing and hand placement. Babalola put promising stretches of play on tape as a junior at Overland Park (Kans.) Blue Valley Northwest, especially in the run game as he often finished with physicality. He will need time to mature, but the developmental upside is enormous. 

15. Iose Epenesa, DL: Epenesa is the younger brother of Buffalo Bills defensive lineman and former Iowa standout AJ Epenesa. He’s a polished interior rusher who can win quick or late if opponents don’t match his energy. The younger Epenesa, who attends Edwardsville High outside of St. Louis in Illinois, is one of the few prospects we haven’t got much live exposure on, but he has nuclear throwing data (183 feet in the discus) and promising basketball clips.
