Rivals Camp Series: The five best DL of the 2025 regionals
Jeff McCulloch/ The regional stops of the Rivals Camp Series are in the books with the Rivals Five-Star at the Indianapolis Colts' practice facility coming up later this month. Today, we continue our look at the best players at each position through the regional events with the defensive linemen.

He was just as effective on the interior as out wide. The four-star prospect plays downhill with strong hands and a high motor. Brewster is bendy and versatile plus provides major pass rush juice from the interior defensive line. Advertisement He's one of the top prospects in the country in the 2027 class with more than 30 scholarship offers. ASHARRI CHARLES - Miami The Venice (Fla.) High School standout has built up his resume as a combo rusher over the years because he's savvy against the pass and stout against the run with a good motor. The ceiling has never looked better for the four-star, especially as he carries more bulk on his 6-foot-3 frame without any signs of slowing down. He won in Miami against fellow Power Four prospects with quickness, including a pretty inside spin move and a smooth dip on the outside, so as the power becomes permanent a full package could soon be at his disposal. JAKE KREUL - Miami Kreul can beat blockers in such a variety of ways. He gets easy early leverage off of the snap because of his elite first-step. That edge bending ability and elite first step has most offensive tackles bailing upon the snap of the ball. Advertisement But Kreul has really progressed with his counter game, overall strength and hand technique. He's the complete package as a pass rusher. JAREYLAN MCCOY - Atlanta McCoy gave opposing tackles in Atlanta fits all day rushing from a two-point stance and also with a hand in the dirt. The Mississippi blue-chipper has length and can win with either speed or power, and continues to build up an array of pass-rush moves to keep tackles off-balance. McCoy had some of the best reps of anyone in the Rivals Camp Series at the DL position. KHARY WILDER - Los Angeles Wilder not only was super impressive in Los Angeles during one-on-one reps using speed and power to his advantage but his measurables were incredible with an 81-inch wingspan. You'll certainly hear about his measurables again once it's his time for the NFL Draft. Advertisement The Gardena (Calif.) Serra product got a major rankings bump after his performance where he displayed speed, power and toughness along with great measurables. And at 6-foot-4 and 256 pounds, Wilder also has a frame where he could easily add 20 more pounds and keep his dominant speed. Ohio State nabbed one of the country's best with him.

Elite 2026 defensive end sets Oklahoma official visit
The Oklahoma Sooners haven't earned a commitment from a defensive player in the 2026 recruiting class yet, but they've made significant strides on the recruiting trail. One of the players they're well positioned with is 2026 defensive end Jake Kreul. Kreul is a four-star prospect out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. He's the No. 60 player overall according to 247Sports and the No. 7 edge player in the class. Rivals consider Kreul the No. 2 player at his position in the 2026 class. Advertisement As spring ball leads to summer recruiting, Kreul has set his official visits with five schools, including the Oklahoma Sooners. Kreul will visit Colorado on Friday, May 2, and then will go to Ohio State on May 30. He'll follow that up with a visit to Florida on June 7 before heading to Texas on June 13. The final visit he has scheduled comes with the Oklahoma Sooners on June 30. Kreul has an elite set of offers from across the country, including 13 of the 16 SEC teams. In addition to Oklahoma and Texas, Kreul holds offers from Georgia, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Missouri, Florida, LSU, Tennessee, Auburn, Vanderbilt, Arkansas, and South Carolina. Advertisement Even with some of the heavy hitters in college football in pursuit, the Oklahoma Sooners have put themselves in a strong position to land a commitment from Kreul. Cody Carpentier, who covers Texas Longhorns recruiting for Orangebloods at Rivals, issued a Futurecast favoring the Sooners on April 15, shortly after Kreul was in Norman for a visit. Though there's no decision date set, the upcoming official visits will play a huge part in his recruitment. Jake Kreul Recruiting Profile Jake Kreul plays with tenacity off the edge. He wins with physicality and a variety of pass-rush moves. Kreul displays really good athleticism and flexibility. He can win inside quickly or bend around the edge to get underneath offensive tackles to attack the quarterback. He has a nice spin move to win inside and has the length to deploy an effective long arm on the rush to keep offensive tackles from getting their hands on him. Kreul has really good play strength and sets the edge well. He's disciplined against the run and doesn't get caught cheating in the read-option or RPO game. He's got all the tools to be an elite pass rusher at the collegiate level.
