The 2025 recruiting season is at an interesting juncture. It is that time of the year when top high school football athletes from all across the nation are finalizing their commitments.

A lot of states have created two-team battles for the signature of some of the most talented high school football players in the class of 2025. Sam Spiegelman, recruiting analyst for college sports website Rivals.com, explored the Southeast region of the country and made a list of four high school football athletes torn between two teams going forward.

Let's take a look at these four recruits from the class of 2025 and the teams that are in play to land them.

Four 2025 high school football recruits from the Southeast who could be part of a two-team recruiting battle

#4 Jordan Young

Jordan Young, a four-star safety from Monroe, North Carolina is set to announce his commitment on Nov. 2. The young defenseman is sitting on more than 20 offers from some of the best CFB programs in the country. However, Clemson and NC State have emerged as the leading contenders to land the talented safety.

Young is projected to join his home-state team, the NC State Wolfpack, as per On3. However, Clemson is still believed to be in the race to sign the North Carolina native. According to On3's Recruiting Prediction Model, NC State has a 93.2% chance of landing the four-star prospect.

Jordan Young is ranked no.178 nationally and is the 14th-best safety in the class of 2025, as per On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the 6th-best overall prospect from the state of North Carolina.

#3 Chase Linton

Chase Linton is being pursued by the Georgia Bulldogs since reportedly making him an offer over the summer. Although Linton was committed to Rutgers at that time, the Bulldogs made a consistent effort to recruit the in-state prospect.

The four-star prospect from Atlanta, Georgia has visited the Bulldogs' campus in Athens multiple times after receiving an offer from the program. However, another team that has established itself in the race is Georgia Tech as Linton visited the Yellow Jackets' campus over the weekend.

Chase Linton is ranked no.164 in the country and is the 21st-best edge rusher in the class of 2025, as per On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the 23rd-best overall prospect from the state of Georgia.

#2 Isaiah Campbell

Southern High School's four-star defensive lineman, Isaiah Campbell reintroduced himself in the recruiting scene after backing off from his commitment to the Clemson Tigers last month. Since his de-commitment, Tennessee and North Carolina have reportedly established themselves as the leaders to land Campbell.

The 6-foot-3.5 athlete visited Tennessee's campus over the weekend as the Volunteers continued their pursuit of signing the talented defenseman. North Carolina on the other hand, is set to host Campbell for an official visit on November 16.

Isaiah Campbell is ranked no.45 in the country and is the 6th-best defensive lineman in the class of 2025, as per On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the second-best overall prospect from the state of North Carolina.

#1 Justus Terry

Justus Terry, a five-star prospect in the class of 2025, is sitting on a plethora of offers from some of the best college programs in the country. However, according to Rivals.com, the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs are the two leading candidates to acquire the talented athlete.

Terry is predicted to join the Bulldogs in 2025, as per On3 Recruiting Prediction Model. The model gives Georgia a 96.3% chance of landing the five-star recruit. Kalen DeBoer's Alabama on the other hand, holds a slim 1.2% chance of landing the star athlete.

Terry is ranked no.7 nationally and is the second-best player at his position in the class of 2025, as per On3 Industry Rankings. He is also the second-best overall prospect from the state of Georgia.
