Counting down the 5-star recruits in the updated 2025 On300 rankings

We’ve nearly reached the midway point of the high school football regular season, and On3 is releasing its updated player rankings — including three new 5-star recruits.

With the update, there are now 18 five-stars in the cycle, which will ultimately end with 32 players receiving that status to match the number of first-round selections in the NFL Draft.

To kick off the latest rankings release, On3 is counting down each of the five-star prospects in the 2025 cycle:

17. RB Harlem Berry

School: St. Martin’s Episcopal (La.)
Status: Committed to LSU
Scout’s Take: “Harlem Berry is the most electric running back in the 2025 cycle, with the ability to be a game-changer in the passing game. He possesses elite burst and effortless movement skills. He transfers his outstanding top end speed onto the field in a functional way and is a threat to take it to the house on any touch. For a young back, he displays outstanding vision, reads blocks and bursts through the line to the second level. The game moves slow for him at the prep level. He has the ability to run through contact and shows balance that belies his size. During the summer prior to his senior season, he showcased advanced pass catching skills and could legitimately line up at receiver. — Cody Bellaire, On3 National Scout

18. QB Matt Zollers

School: Royersford (Pa.) Spring-Ford
Status: Committed to Missouri
Scout’s Take: “Matt Zollers looked like the top playmaker among 2025 quarterbacks on junior film and has long been one of our top quarterbacks in the On300 rankings. In getting to see him at the Elite 11 Finals, the physical tools are readily apparent. He showed a live, loose arm. He has also flashed his high end movement skills and athleticism just within drills that show from a physical talent perspective, he checks the boxes. There are areas for improvement, which is not singular to him among the top quarterback group. He can contine polishing up his consistency, which as one of the few multi-sport athletes in that group is to be expected. We are very high on his long-term upside and potential. And ultimately for us, the basis of our evaluations and the junior film are outstanding.” — Charles Power, On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings
