Bleacher Report

● By Staff
The 2024 college football season started with a bang. Multiple top-end prospects came out of the gates with huge performances to provide some validity toward their preseason projections. But the evaluations for the '25 cycle are just beginning. Each individual has the entire season to stack games and piece together the best possible resume for all 32 NFL teams, as they aspire to enter the professional ranks as a draft pick. The Bleacher Report Scouting Department will meet throughout the cycle to evaluate hundreds of prospects. With the season still in its neophyte stages, the team of Brandon Thorn, Brent Sobleski, Cory Giddings, Dame Parson and Matt Holder pieced together its initial projection based on where the top talents currently stand. This early look provides some intriguing potential.
