Ranking the best linebackers available in the 2025 NFL Draft

5 Min Read

The class of supporters outside this year’s ball is not a strong suit of the NFL 2025 draft, but sacrifices some high -end perspectives that should listen to their name in the first two days. The general depth of the position this year is quite thin, so if a team wants to strengthen the body of supporters, it is better to address it early.

A group of Draft analysts of the SB nations of our 32 communities of the NFL team classified their best pounds in the draft and this Top 10 is the result of those cumulative classifications.

Our classifications are brought by Fanduel Sportsbook. Register today.


It also receives votes at the Top 10: Kobe King (Penn State), ham dumas-johnson (Kentucky)

10. Cody Simon, Ohio state

Simon Tok is the advantage of his last year as Buckeye. The team captain had 112 striking cups, including 12.5 TFL and seven catches. He is a well -experienced university soccer player who seemed to have things to click for this season. His ability to diagnose and get to football was a criticism in the Playoffs race of the state of Ohio.

9. Jack Kiser, Notre Dame

Kiser is a sixth year senior who played a 70 games school record for Fighting Irish. His athletics leaves something to be desired, but his experience and his intellectual football coefficient help him compensate him. Probably only a LB of two elves and a special taxpayer at the NFL level.

8. Smael Mondon Jr., Georgia

Mondon has boom or fall potential; You need time to develop and put everything at the NFL level. It was a five -star recruitment among the 30 best that came out of high school and has the pedigree to emerge like any headline if you can process the game at the speed of the NFL.

7. Danny Stutsman, Oklahoma

A high volume tube in the position of the internal supporter that had three consecutive seasons with more than 100 cup. Stutsman is his prototypic defender of descent inside the box. He does the work with excellent game recognition and block detachment.

6. Chris Paul Jr., Mississippi

“Pooh” is the most appropriate as an external supporter in a scheme that cannot do not make a man’s coverage from man to man. Paul Jr. is a sure tube that shows a good explosion to close the ball carriers and has a special ability to find the correct adjustment.

5. Jeffrey Bassa, Oregon

Bassa is a three -descending supporter who played inside in Oregon but has the athletics to play outside in the NFL. Bassa adapts to the supporter of the new era on the weak side, which offers capable coverage skills and some juice such as bombing.

4. Barrett Carter, Clemsson

Carter has a solid sensation for the game in the supporter position and has the sporting features of being a three subsidiary player. Carter is at its best when their agility and speed can shine like a blitzer or a QB spy.

3. Demetrius Knight, South Carolina

Knight tied with Carson Schwesinger for the largest number of votes in second place, but barely surpassed. Knight has a great frame and uses it to unleash violent successes against his opponent. Custom made for action inside the box, its aggression and disposition to fight through traffic they make it a good option for a team that needs an internal LB.

2. Carson Schwesinger, UCLA

The old Walk-on became an All-American for UCLA in its fourth year. Schwesinger is a range sponsor who is an expert in a zone or man’s coverage. I should find the field as an initial LB from the beginning, but if not it is not him no, you can’t do not, an ace of special equipment.

1. Jihaad Campbel, Alabama

Campbell was our best unanimous player in the supporter outside the ball. The old recruit of the 15 best is at its best when it rushes the pin or coverage, where its 6’3 “frame and its superior athletic skills can take care. Your special skills set will probably see it land in the first round of the NFL Draft defense.
