The Sophomore class is solid but not spectacular right now. There are some really good players at the top but on the heels of a legendary 2025 class, the 26 group looks modest. There have been a few Sophomores outside the top of the class who are making their statements that they deserve to be thought of among the best in the class. Here's a look at some players who are breaking out as Sophomores.
