We’re excited to honor those players we feel have already made an impact in their class and have shown the potential to go far in the sport.
The ratings will be updated several times in the future, so know that this is an ongoing process: players will always be entering—and moving up—the lists!
Today we feature players ranked #’s 100 to 91 in the 2025 Extra Elite 100.
We will unveil 10 numerical positions per day as we move down the list from 100 to No. 1; and then also publish lists with the prospects ranked #’s 101-200, 201-300, 301-400 and 401-500 as well as list the 2025 Class Position Rankings, Regional Rankings and a spotlight on the top-rated (No. 1) player.
Players are selected based on on-field talent, successful performances—especially in big events like Nationals and showcases—as well as projected growth and development along with intangibles such as leadership, work ethic and the ability to make teammates better.
We have also solicited the input of hundreds of club and college coaches and scouts to get their perspectives and feedback.
Here are the honorees who have previously been listed:
IMPORTANT: because of a technical error, many deserving prospects were left off the original Top 100 for this class which was published last month (August 2023). We feel it would be unfair to drop players originally included so we are doing “ties” (no more than two per number, however) and this will be the exception rather than the rule moving forward — meaning there will be fewer ties in future classes.
