1. LB Andrew Simpson – Boise State
Simpson was a productive defensive playmaker during his three seasons with the Broncos. Totaling 141 tackles, 32 tackles for loss, 12.5 sacks, three interceptions and five forced fumbles, he is a difference maker at the linebacker position. North Carolina, USC and Miami continue to be considered, with North Carolina remaining the favorite. A new school in the chase is Colorado.
2. WR Trejan Bridges – Central Arkansas
Along with Theo Wease and Jason Haselwood, Bridges was part of a five-star wide receiver group that signed with Oklahoma in 2019. However, in two seasons he only totaled nine receptions for 101 yards and two touchdowns before facing serious legal charges during the spring of 2021. This led him to be dismissed from the Sooners, then a JUCO season and finally a move to Central Arkansas. During his one season in the FCS he totaled 53 receptions for 748 yards and six touchdowns. He has taken official visits to Syracuse and Maryland, while Florida State is sniffing around.
3. OL Brandon Sneh – Kansas State
Sneh, 6-foot-7 and 320-pounds, began his collegiate career at DII Elizabeth City State before transferring to Wagner in 2024. After one season in the FCS, he transferred to Kansas State in January but then re-entered the portal during the spring. Since re-entering, he has picked up offers from Buffalo, Southern Miss, UAB, Missouri State, North Texas, Akron, Washington State and most recently New Mexico State. He has taken visits to Washington State and UAB.
4. DT Jakwon McGinney – Arkansas State
McGinney, 6-foot-2 and 295-pounds, was one of the top JUCO defensive tackles in the Class of 2025, who signed with the Red Wolves after playing at Hutchinson C.C. However, he entered the portal during the spring. He has two years of eligibility remaining and has picked up offers from Coastal Carolina, Ohio, South Alabama, Georgia Southern, Utah State, Southern Miss, UTEP, Western Michigan and North Texas since entering the portal. He has also been in steady contact with BYU, Oklahoma State, Arizona State and Baylor.
5. DE Stefon Young-Rolle – Alabama State
Young-Rolle has been a consistent contributor at Alabama State over the last three seasons, having totaled 72 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and 5.5 sacks during this time. At 6-foot-3, 250-pounds, the Miami-native has one year of eligibility remaining. He has picked up offers from Western Kentucky, North Texas, New Mexico State, Tennessee Tech, Stephen F. Austin, Albany, Morgan State, Tennessee State and Bryant. He took a recent visit to New Mexico State.
