The 2025 faculty soccer season is rapidly approaching, with the opening kickoff only a month away.
This summer time, we previewed and ranked the highest people within the West at every place, then did the identical for the area’s high place models.
Earlier this week, we ranked the highest defenses. Right now, we conclude the sequence with a have a look at the Prime 12 offenses.
All the rankings have been primarily based on what we all know in preseason, and will change dramatically as soon as the season kicks off.
1. Oregon Geese
The Geese have some questions within the passing recreation, however the operating recreation can have no bother shifting the ball.
Makhi Hughes leads a secure of backs who will be capable of make performs. And they are going to be operating behind probably the greatest traces within the nation.
The questions within the passing recreation actually revolve round growth on the QB spot. Dante Moore has loads of expertise however not a ton of expertise. Will Stein’s tutelage and a season spent studying from Dillon Gabriel may show to be the distinction.
The WR group is stable, even with the lack of Evan Stewart. Making {that a} bit simpler to swallow is the truth that Kenyon Sadiq simply may be the perfect TE in America.
And once more, behind that line, the Geese offense ought to soar this season.
2. Arizona State Solar Devils
Cam Skattebo may be gone, however this offense nonetheless has loads of weapons, most notably, QB Sam Leavitt and a bunch of playmakers on the skin and behind him.
What made the ASU offense so good final season was their effectivity. The Solar Devils transformed 46% on third downs and turned it over simply 9 occasions.
This season, the offense may be a bit extra open, which may imply extra manufacturing or extra danger. Leavitt is nice with the soccer, so I’d not anticipate many giveaways.
The All-American QB may even have the perfect WR within the Massive 12 to throw it to in Jordyn Tyson. Kanye Udoh isn’t Skattebo, however he’ll lead a deep RB unit.
Don’t anticipate a drop in offensive manufacturing from ASU this season.
3. USC Trojans
I am shopping for in on the USC offense this season. Certain, the WR depth took a success within the portal, however they’re nonetheless loaded at that place.
Ja’Kobi Lane and Makai Lemon kind probably the greatest WR duos within the nation. The backs are shifty and speedy, they usually have depth.
I’ve a whole lot of religion in Jayden Maiava. He carried out properly at UNLV as a freshman and delivered on the finish of final season when his quantity was referred to as.
The road has had some overhaul, but it surely ought to nonetheless be a proficient group.
USC is deep on offense this season. Search for the Trojans to haven’t any points shifting the soccer in 2025.
4. Washington Huskies
The Husky offense will look just a little totally different this season.
Whereas Demond Williams Jr. might not have as large of an arm as Will Rodgers confirmed final season, he needs to be far more correct.
Omari Evans will provide one other goal on the skin to pair with Denzel Boston, and the Huskies have two confirmed TEs to work the center of the sector. However the passing recreation just isn’t what the Huskies will work this season.
Will probably be a punishing floor assault with the three-headed monster of Williams, Jonah Coleman and Adam Mohammed.
Coleman is among the finest backs within the nation and Mohammed is a punisher that may end his runs with an enormous hit. Williams presents a twin risk that may open issues up for the backs and the receivers to do some work.
5. Boise State Broncos
While the Broncos actually can’t change an Ashton Jeanty, their offense will probably be something however pedestrian in 2025.
The passing recreation needs to be higher than a season in the past. QB Maddux Madsen doesn’t flip it over and might make performs together with his arm and his legs when wanted.
Most of Madsen’s weapons are again. Matt Lauter will probably be his high general goal, whereas Latrell Caples will probably be his high outdoors goal.
The backfield ought to as soon as once more produce with Malik Sherrod and Sire Gaines getting the majority of the carries for a loaded secure of backs.
Whereas the Broncos might not have a consultant in New York for the Heisman presentation, the offense ought to click on.
6. BYU Cougars
The Cougar QB place is up for grabs, and the battle appears to be between McCae Hillstead and Bear Bachmeier.
Hillstead had some good moments with Utah State and Bachmeier enters with a ton of promise and the flexibility to make performs together with his legs.
As electrical as Jake Ratzlaff was final season, he additionally threw 12 interceptions. If his substitute can care for the ball higher, the Cougars will probably be in good condition.
LJ Martin is a beast at RB and can struggle for each yard he can. Martin is among the hardest within the nation to convey down.
The receivers needs to be actually good this season and that will probably be a lift for whoever begins at QB. Chase Roberts, JoJo Phillips and Parker Kingston are a dynamic trio at WR, whereas Carsen Ryan offers them an choice at TE.
7. Colorado Buffaloes
The Buffs offensive line was lots higher final season than in 12 months One for Deion Sanders, and that unit needs to be improved once more in 2025.
And it must be. Whereas the Buffs are by no means going to be a grind it out sort of crew, they had been 8-0 final yr when operating for a pedestrian 50 yards or extra, and simply 1-4 when failing to achieve 50 in a recreation.
Dallan Hayden is an efficient again to run behind the road.
Now, whoever wins the QB job, Kaidon Salter or JuJu Lewis, can have some superb receivers to focus on. Omarion Miller is a deep risk and Dre’lon Miller is a risk over the center.
And with the improved line, the QB can have extra time to function.
8. San Jose State Spartans
The Spartans lacked a operating recreation in 2024, however they nonetheless had been a potent offense.
This season they need to be a lot better throughout the road and the operating recreation ought to see a whole lot of enchancment.
And that’s solely going to open issues up extra for Walker Eget and the passing assault. The receivers have an excellent nucleus in Leland Smith, Malachi Riley and Danny Scudero.
The Spartans might be a shock crew in 2025.
The schedule is ready up for them to do some harm and if this offense catches hearth, they might be battling for the MW title and, with that, a possible playoff bid.
9. UNLV Rebels
Dan Mullen lower his enamel on the offensive aspect of the soccer, and his unfold offense has been good in all places he has been.
The QB job will belong to Alex Orji or Anthony Colandrea. Colandrea is a a lot better passer but additionally has thrown too many interceptions in his profession.
Whereas Ricky White could also be gone, the WRs are nonetheless proficient, and Jaden Bradley will stretch the sector, whereas JoJo Earle and Troy Omeire make the Rebels deeper at wideout than they had been up to now.
The offense will look totally different this season, however Jet Thomas will once more play an enormous position and matches into the brand new scheme properly.
A number of transfers from Energy 4 faculties will probably be featured on this offense, and we are going to see how rapidly they gel within the new system.
10. Utah Utes
The Utah offense was not nice in 2024, to say the least.
There have been issues at QB, the road by no means bought wholesome, and the operating recreation was not there—and that was simply a part of the issue.
Enter new OC Jason Beck, whose New Mexico offense was fourth within the nation final season with 477 yards per recreation.
Additionally enter the QB that directed that unit, Devon Dampier, one of the crucial dynamic twin threats within the nation. He must be extra correct and lower down the INTs, however he’s explosive and strikes the ball.
The operating recreation will probably be higher with Dampier, but additionally the secure of backs is nice. The road needs to be phenomenal this season—however wants to remain wholesome.
11. Utah State Aggies
The head coach of that explosive offense at New Mexico final season, was in fact Bronco Mendenhall. And whereas the OC and QB ended up in Salt Lake Metropolis, Mendenhall is now in Logan.
And offense just isn’t the place the Aggies had issues final season; they had been sixth within the nation with 467.7 yards per recreation. Now, most of these offensive gamers from final season are gone, however the cabinet just isn’t naked.
Bryson Barnes and Anthony Garcia are each twin risk QBs. Barnes may be the higher runner whereas Garcia may be a greater passer; both choice offers a slight Devon Dampier really feel to the offense.
Brady Boyd and Corey Thompson are stable choices at receiver. The road is totally new, but it surely doesn’t lack expertise.
Will the Aggies be sixth within the nation in offense once more? In all probability not. However they are going to run the ball very properly and will nonetheless pile up yardage.
12. UCLA Bruins
For the Bruins it begins with Nico Iamaleava.
The Bruin offense was dangerous final season and had bother discovering the top zone.
With the Tennessee switch on the helm, the passing recreation is massively improved. He has succesful cross catchers in Mike Matthews and Hudson Habermehl, however the high goal needs to be Kwazi Gilmer.
The backs will probably be higher, and it will be arduous to be worse: UCLA ranked 132nd in dashing final season. The important thing would be the line play, and the expertise stage was upgraded within the offseason.
Whereas it’s not an elite line but, it ought to provide higher safety.
