Top 10 Alabama HS football players in Class of 2025
2. Jared Smith, Edge, Thompson
Smith is one of the most talented pass rushers in the country heading into his senior season and is rated as a top-50 prospect nationally in the Class of 2025 by most recruiting services. The biggest thing that stands out about Smith is his size coming off the edge as he stands at 6-foot-7 while weighing 235 pounds. He also has proven to have good quickness and athleticism at his size and has starred on the basketball court in high school well. Last season, the five-star recruit endured a bit of a unique year as he transferred from Spain Park to Thompson in the middle of the season, but he continued to build on a strong high school career where he has had some terrific performances. Smith should only continue to grow in a more normalized senior season before joining many of Alabama鈥檚 top seniors at Auburn next year.
Thompson 2025 4-Star Edge Jared Smith looks poised to play a major role for the Warriors on the defensive side of the football.
Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee are just a few of the programs involved with Smith at the moment.
