On Wednesday, the Reese’s Senior Bowl put out their 2025 watchlist, highlighting a long list of talented prospects who are on their radar. The usual suspects, such as Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, and Notre Dame were very well represented. There was also a select group of small school standouts that were a part of the list.

With the introduction of the transfer portal and NIL landscape, the quality of FCS talent has been compromised. Many of the top talents from that level are now transferring up, but a nice amount of upside still remains. There are 60 prospects from the FCS that made the cut.

Arguably the top player on the list is Charles Grant, who has seen great growth physically this offseason. Now over 300 pounds, Grant is an impressive athlete at the position with tremendous flexibility. He is rumored to have 35-inch arms at 6’4 ⅛”, which is an outstanding number. His upside is immense.

Grant isn’t the only talented offensive lineman on the list. Hunter Zambrano is another really good prospect, with clear draftable traits. Zabel is another talented mover, whose power profile is coming along slowly. They both have developmental upside on the next level. As does Slater, who is a densely put-together offensive guard.

North Dakota State star Cole Wisniewski is one of the more interesting defenders in the 2025 class in general. A safety for the Bison, Wisniewski recorded 92 total tackles, eight interceptions, and 13 pass breakups in 2023. A talented mover, he is projected to make the move to linebacker on the next level. His combination of athleticism and length should allow him to stick as a core special teamer.

Amongst a talented group of running backs, Larison brings the most upside. He’s a physical runner at 5’10 ¾” and 209 pounds, with nice explosiveness. Larison is fresh off of a 2023 season where he rushed for 1,101 yards and 13 touchdowns in just eight games, averaging a stellar 6.2 yards per carry.
