Behind The Steel Curtain

● By Andrew Wilbar
A couple months ago, I did my annual way-too-early mock draft, and I was challenged to do an exercise I once attempted, but had made an annual tradition. Well, being my last week at BTSC, I feel obligated to fulfil my promise and come through with — yes, you heard it — a 2025 mock draft! Will any of these selections actually come to fruition? Maybe one or two, but I wouldn’t expect any more than that. This is merely a fun exercise that I hope will wet your appetite for what is to come in future drafts. While it’s hard to gauge how good of a draft the 2025 class will be, it’s reasonable to expect several quarterbacks toward the top. Clemson QB Cade Klubnik has a great opportunity to be the top quarterback in the class, as he has shown flashes of brilliance when coming in to replace D.J. Uiagalelei. With an intriguing variety of weapons, Penn State’s Drew Allar is in great position to be in the conversation as well. Other names include Alabama’s Ty Simpson, Texas A&M’s Conner Weigman, N.C. State’s M.J. Morris, and Ole Miss’ Walker Howard.
