The postseason was a perfect opportunity for players in the class of 2025 to leave an impression on college scouts as that class falls into the spotlight with the opening of communication on June 15, there have been a handful of players across the country who have already given their verbal commitments.
August 1 will be the next date to know for this class as the off-campus contact is allowed at that point as well as official visits. Below are five players who increased their stocks with our scouts during the summer events from California’s 2025 class.
Bickley is an outside back, typically on the left. She is right-footed but comfortable on either foot and can hit a stellar cross with her left. She is confident on the ball and not afraid to break pressure on the dribble – rather than booting the ball long. She has quick feet and good balance, which works out well in duels and when trying to dance around players while keeping possession of the ball. Bickley is an acclaimed prospect with a number of Girls Academy Talent Identification invites to her credit.
Andrino is an athletic shot-stopper. She has been training and playing with the WPSL LA Surf team this summer – on top of playing for LA Surf in the Girls Academy. The elements of her game that stand out is her strong technical foundation. She makes the routine save comfortable and gives a lot of confidence to her teammates in how she is securing in handling those types of situations. The other aspect is how often she gets a hand on a shot that seems like it should be past her. She doesn’t quit on a shot and she has a good diving technique that allows her to get to shots that other keeps might not have be able to reach. Her distribution is also a strong point of her game. She is quick to identify outlets and get the ball to the feet of her teammates. She is a prospect with a lot of potential.
Highlights
Zacarias is criminally underrated in our rankings. She has the honors (All-CIF First Team) and the game to back it up. Her playmaking for the No. 8 position was key in a few games during the playoffs for her club side. The highlight reel isn’t the best example of Zacarias game, but it’s a good peak. She showed this summer that she can shine on the field along side the best talent in the country in this class.
Bugarin had a stellar 2022/2023. She was a clutch player for her high school with some timely goals during the postseason. She brought a similar quality at the club level. She is a 2025 who plays on an 06 team so she might get lost in the shuffle a bit. Her game film for this season deserves the attention. She is a workhorse up top. She can stretch the defense with her pace and play with her back to the goal with her strength and skill. She likes to get the ball and run at defenders. She can also drift wide and play as a provider from the wing. The versatility in the attack should make her an exciting prospect from the 2025 class.
Dever impressed in the 06 age group from the North America Cup playoffs. She is a wide player with versatility to be an outside back or a winger. Her best contributions come in the attack as she makes good decisions on the ball and hits an excellent cross (with either foot). She is a very good, physical defender and uses her body well in challenges.
