There is a captivating world of predicting college football teams, their seasons and player performances. This makes the college football fan base feel much more engaged than ever before. Hudson High School’s (HHS) varsity football team members are ready to share their thoughts and predictions for the outcomes of college football in 2025.
Senior Jayden Carlton mentioned that his favorite college football team is Ohio State (OSU). He highlighted their great history in college football, especially with the national title on their name. Moreover, Carlton expressed high expectations for OSU this season, citing the return of players from last year, defensive back Caleb Downs, wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and safety Sonny Styles. The return of these players brings even more experience to the team. As someone who has followed the OSU football team for years, Carlton anticipates the Ohio State vs. Michigan game results, as it is a highly anticipated rivalry that has been ongoing for over a hundred years. As much love as he has for OSU, he does expect them to lose their national title to Georgia since Georgia’s defense is strong. A player that stands out to him is Jeremiah Smith, the wide receiver on the Ohio State Buckeyes. His reasoning being that he is a talented player with a remarkable freshman year.
Senior Kyler Boyle’s favorite college football team is OSU, a love that stems from the fact that they were the first college team he started watching during his childhood. Boyle highlighted a memory of this being watching Ezekiel Elliott in 2015 win them a national championship. Boyle is confident that OSU will win the national title again this year. He believes this because he feels they possess both the best offensive and defensive players in the country. Two players who have caught his attention are Jeremiah Smith, the wide receiver, and Caleb Downs, the safety. He anticipates watching the Ohio State vs Michigan game. This annual matchup is a significant event for both teams, with a close chance for either winning over the past decade. However, Boyle believes OSU will beat them this year, breaking their four-year losing streak. Caleb Downs is the player who speaks to him the most. Boyle loves watching him play and looks up to Downs football style when he is playing. Boyle believes that Jeremiah Smith deserves to win the Heisman Trophy. In his opinion, Smith is the most outstanding player in the entire country. Boyle mentioned that Smith consistently excelled in video game statistics which showcases his great performances and making him a strong contender for the Heisman.
Junior Reno Ferri III feels that the Akron Zips are his favorite team because his father is their coach. As Ferri is closely involved with the Akron football team, the most eagerly awaited game for him this season is the Akron vs. Kent State match, which is Akron’s biggest rivalry game. One thing that surprised him about a well known Texas player, Arch Manning, was his inefficiency, making him wonder if he’ll be able to bounce back. Arch Manning is a quarterback for the Texas Longhorns and has faced numerous challenges during his playing in the games such as his accuracy. As for the Heisman trophy, an annual award given to the most outstanding player in college football, Ferri believes it is likely to be won by John Mateer. John Mateer is an American college football quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners. Jeremiah Smith, the wide receiver for OSU football, is the player who speaks to Ferri the most. Ferri highlighted that he is a strong wide receiver, and it’s evident that he has a sufficient work ethic and a positive attitude about his work
This college football season promises to be a thrilling experience for fans and players like HHS football players to people across the nation. The results and progress of teams and players will be eagerly awaited for.
