2025 Top 25 Under 25: The List

It's that time of year again! Time to rank the top 25 players under the age of 25. We've been doing this list basically since the inception of the site, and everyone agrees it's one of the hardest things we do every year.

A bit about our process: first, we figure out our birthday cut off, the hardest part for the editors to work through. This year, a player had to be born on or after April 1, 2000 to be eligible. This means there are players on the list who are currently 25, but they played last season as a 24 year old. From there, our writers create their lists. They go into the spreadsheet, we tally the votes, and out comes our rankings!

This season, 70 different players got votes. Two players were on all ballots, with another five on all but one. We'll kick off the list with five honorable mentions, players who came in 26 through 30. Follow along every day as we release new spots!
