That said, there is reason to believe the potential of the players heading to the college level could be even higher than some that went the other route. The top talent in this class comes from MLS Next, Boys ECNL, US Club Soccer, and the high school game. They've proven they can compete against the best and should be immediate contributors at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below is a scouting report on five players who fit the bill of potential star in their rookie season at the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["18337"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680131296bf2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Allen is the top ranked player in the class so it's no surprise there is some lofty expectations for the Stanford-bound forward. He heads to a program that has a rich history of player development -and to a coach who is renowned for his ability to get the most out of his players. Allen should be an ideal fit there - both from a playing style and from a mentality standpoint. He's driven to be the best and will get constantly challenged in training to raise his level. The current Stanford roster is set up perfectly to give Allen ample playing time in his first season (along with a strong midfield to provide service to him). </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The other name to watch from the Stanford class is Victor Fung. Stanford head coach Jeremy Gunn said this about Fung recently, "Victor is a Rolls-Royce defender who can calmly shut down opponents with the minimum of fuss." </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["148811"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680131296bf84"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The UCLA class is something special.

This is a player who steps up as a leader on every team he plays on.

The 2025 class combines electrifying talent with players who have already proven their quality against professionals. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Debah is the electrifying talent. A game-breaking, right-footed forward, the Milton Academy standout is sure to be one of the most dangerous players in college soccer this fall. He impressed at the Prep level in 2024 with a number of highlight reel performances including one from last summer against Atletico Madrid. He has the tools to be one of the best attacking talents in college soccer in 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/2/3617/66cfa03bdc219edd1430399d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680138e1a39c4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["55602"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-680138e1a3a19"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Defenders tend to get overlooked in the standout articles, but Olorunto has been highlighted in every game that Prep Soccer scouts have attended in the past year. The Buckeye is shaping up to be one of the best recruits in Ohio State history. A fluid athlete, excellent defender, and dominant presence on the field, Olorunto has the tools to be a top center back at the college level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
