College Football Playoff second-round picks | Before The Snap
Before The Snap takes a close look at the four second-round CFP games and makes straight-up picks.
Eighteen five-star prospects will take the field in the 2025 Under Armour All-American Game, as some of the nation’s top prospects in the 2025 and 2026 recruiting classes face off on Thursday.
Most of the players who hope to be the next stars of college football have already signed to their next school. However, there are still a handful of uncommitted players who have yet to decide.
There are also a number of high-end 2026 recruits who are looking to showcase their talent against older players, hoping to boost their recruitments even more.
With so many blue-chip players taking the field on Thursday, here are the top players to watch in the 2025 Under Armour All-American Game:
Players to watch Under Armour All-American Game
Here are the top players to watch in the 2025 Under Armour All-American Game:
QB Keelon Russell (Alabama)
The top-ranked quarterback of the All-American Game, Alabama signee Keelon Russell is set for the showcase just before heading to Tuscaloosa for his freshman season.
Russell, the No. 2-ranked prospect and No. 2 quarterback of the 2025 class behind Michigan quarterback signee Bryce Underwood, has an outside chance at being Alabama’s quarterback next season, as the five-star recruit could potentially push Ty Simpson for the job (should Jalen Milroe not return for another season).
The Duncanville High School (Texas) product will take snaps for Team Icon on Thursday, throwing passes to his high school teammate Dakorien Moore, a fellow five-star recruit and Oregon signee.
DL Elijah Griffin (Georgia)
The top-ranked defensive lineman recruit in 2025, Elijah Griffin is the highest-ranked defensive player in the 2025 All-American Game.
Griffin, the No. 5-ranked recruit in 2025 per 247Sports’ Composite rankings, is a Georgia signee, and will play on Team Unstoppable.
The 6-foot-3, 285-pound prospect is hoping to have a strong week to build momentum into his freshman season with the Bulldogs.
WR Dakorien Moore (Oregon)
Dakorien Moore, high school teammates with Russell, will team up with Russell on Team Icon.
The Oregon signee is the No. 4-ranked player and No. 1 receiver of the 2025 class, according to 247Sports’ Composite rankings. He projects to have an immediate impact for the Ducks next season in a high-powered offense.
The Russell-Moore connection will likely be on full display in the All-American Game on Thursday.
OT Michael Fasusi (Oklahoma)
The top-ranked offensive tackle participating in the Under Armour All-American Game, Oklahoma signee Michael Fasusi will compete for playing time with the Sooners after their rough season on the offensive line in 2024.
Fasusi, part of Team Unstoppable, is the No. 13-ranked player and No. 2 offensive tackle in the 2025 class, according to 247Sports’ Composite rankings. The 6-foot-5, 295-pound offensive tackle attended Lewisville High School in Texas.
QB Julian Lewis (Colorado)
Lewis reclassified from the 2026 class to be a freshman in 2025, and flipped from USC to Colorado prior to the early signing period.
The four-star recruit was one of the most productive quarterbacks nationally among high school players, and is the No. 37 player and No. 6 signal-caller in 2025, according to 247Sports’ Composite rankings.
Lewis will likely sit for a season with the Buffaloes after they added former Liberty quarterback Kaidon Salter via the transfer portal, but he looks to be Colorado and Deion Sanders’ next program leader for years to come.
