As college football's offseason trends shift focus, attention is turning to non-quarterback players who could shape the upcoming season. Coaches have identified a list of 25 playmakers across several positions, including running backs, wide receivers, and pass rushers, as potential stars in 2025. With last season highlighting the talent of non-quarterbacks like Travis Hunter and Ashton Jeanty, the anticipation grows for how these emerging stars will perform, especially those stepping up to replace first-round draft picks or returning from injury.
"The 2024 season featured two non-quarterbacks from outside blue-blood programs -- Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty -- who distanced themselves in the Heisman race."
"The list below includes established players who have earned all-conference recognition and shined on the biggest stages, as well as others who haven't seen much time in the spotlight."
