Three Predictions: Michigan State, Nebraska, Illinois
Rivals nationwide recruiting analyst Greg Smith has predictions on Michigan State protecting a essential commit within the fold, a giant season forward for a sure Massive Ten quarterback and Illinois getting early assist from a key 2025 signee.
KAYD COFFMAN STICKS WITH MICHIGAN STATE
There haven’t been many quarterbacks across the nation which have had as robust of an offseason as Kayd Coffman. The Michigan State commit was very near receiving an computerized invite to the Elite11 Finals with a powerful efficiency at regional camp. He adopted that up with an MVP efficiency on the UA Subsequent Camp in Ohio.
He continues to attract curiosity from different applications. Ohio State has been pursuing him however lately Colorado put down a proposal for him. Nonetheless, I’m predicting that the Michigan native sticks with the Spartans and indicators with coach Jonathan Smith in December.
DYLAN RAIOLA HAS A BREAKOUT SEASON FOR NEBRASKA
In the course of the 2024 season Nebraska completed its total crew objective: make a bowl sport. Now’s the time for the Huskers to make the subsequent step as a program below coach Matt Rhule. If that step occurs it’ll be partly as a result of former five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola took a leap.
Raiola had a stable freshman 12 months throwing for two,819 yards with 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. I’m anticipating Raiola to eclipse 3,000 yards passing with at the least 25 landing passes in 2025. The crew has a bunch of recent weapons for him to throw to. There have been a pair good portal additions alongside the offensive line too. The teaching employees has additionally been upgraded to assist.
This must be a giant 12 months for Raiola and the Huskers.
BRAYDEN TRIMBLE CATCHES 30-PLUS PASSES AS A FRESHMAN
Brayden Trimble is wanting like a steal for the Illini primarily based on the early critiques of his sport down in Champaign. We had the wideout rated as a excessive three-star on the finish of final recruiting cycle however he may have simply been larger. He was a prime performer on the Rivals Camp Collection in Indianapolis a few years in the past displaying a big catch radius and powerful arms.
Illinois is changing loads of manufacturing this 12 months making it a ripe alternative for Trimble to step in and get loads of snaps. I’ve obtained him going over 30 catches and having a season just like final 12 months’s Massive Ten freshman receiver shock Nick Marsh.
