Way-Too-Early Top 25: Next season's breakout player for every team
Briefly

As the 2025 college football season approaches, various young talents across top programs are gearing up for breakout performances. Notable players include Eddrick Houston from Ohio State, who is expected to fill a critical role on the defensive line. Georgia's KJ Bolden, after a solid freshman year, is set to emerge as a key player for the Bulldogs. Notre Dame's Jaden Greathouse, with a strong finish to the previous season, has also caught attention as someone to watch in 2025. These players reflect the continued evolution of powerhouse college teams.
With all four starting defensive linemen from the national title team moving on to the NFL, Eddrick Houston seems primed to step into a lynchpin role along the defensive line.
Bolden made his presence felt on the back end of that Georgia defense, overshadowed by All-American safety Malaki Starks but rose up and played some of his best football in the postseason.
Jaden Greathouse spearheaded a furious Notre Dame comeback, recording 13 receptions for 233 yards and three touchdowns in the final two games, showcasing his potential.
Tony Rojas should add to Penn State's proud Linebacker U tradition as he builds on a strong freshman season, aiming for a breakout 2025.
