The 2025 LB class falls in line with recent classes in that there are few immediate starters to be found but good overall depth with a bunch of prospects that will likely have to excel on special teams to earn time on the defensive side of the field. The top prospect and only certain first round pick in April is Jalon Walker (Georgia), a fierce pass rusher who lacks the desired size to line up at EDGE on running downs and will likely play off the ball LB on early downs. Regarding more traditional LBs, the top prospects are Jihaad Campbell (Alabama), Smael Mondon (Georgia), Jay Higgins (Iowa), Nick Martin (Oklahoma State), and Jeffrey Bassa (Oregon).
