Rivals Rankings Week: Ten biggest risers in the Rivals250

The latest update of the 2025 Rivals250 is out and there are a lot of changes. Here is a look at the 10 biggest movers among prospects that were previously ranked in the newest ranking.

1. ATH VERNELL BROWN III

Moved up: 158 spots

Brown has big-time potential on both sides of the ball. He has very good hands and is a sudden route runner when he lines up as a receiver. Brown isn’t a burner but has plenty of speed in the open field. He is an explosive and quick prospect who creates separation from defensive backs thanks to his sharp cuts and ability to accelerate to top speed in just a couple steps.

Brown’s length, mature frame, hands and ability to bring down jump balls are just some of the factors that make him an attractive defensive back prospect too. Certainly, 1,300 receiving yards, 10 receiving touchdowns and three special teams touchdowns underscore the “athlete” designation for Brown.

Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Louisville, Miami, Ohio State, Stanford, Syracuse, Tennessee and UCF are the top contenders in his recruitment.

2. DB CHARLES BASS

Moved up: 135 spots

Measuring in at 6-foot-2, Bass is a sizable safety prospect who has shown the tools to line up as a nickel or play inside the box when necessary. He does a good job supporting against the run, showing a knack for laying a big hit in the open field.

In coverage, Bass has the speed to stick with most receivers and he uses his length to force quarterbacks into errant throws. He routinely jars the ball loose from receivers who are about to make a catch.

Missouri is definitely a program to keep an eye on in his recruitment, along with Michigan, Illinois and Arkansas.
