In the present day, I wished to visualise some nice information from Kent Lee Platt’s Relative Athletic Scores (RAS) for safeties (SAF). Here’s a hyperlink to Platt’s web site in case you haven’t seen his work: https://ras.soccer/.
To qualify for a RAS rating, a participant should have a complete of six recorded metrics from any of the next: top, weight, 40-yard sprint, 20-yard break up, 10-yard break up, bench press, vertical bounce, broad bounce, quick shuttle and 3-cone. The participant is then graded on every compared to the positional database since 1987 to get extra of a really feel of their measurement, velocity, explosion, agility and whole worth, giving context to the uncooked numbers.
The aim of the collection is to offer the RAS from Platt and visualize it to get a simultaneous view of all of the gamers at their place that participated on the mix. Listed here are the gamers who certified for a RAS:
5 prospects posted a plus-nine RAS, in comparison with 4 in my 2024 SAF RAS article. That was written later within the course of final season, together with professional day numbers. So, this 12 months’s class might have a bit extra athleticism as professional day numbers come out by the draft course of.
The highest RAS from the mix at SAF is South Carolina’s Nick Emmanwori, with an ideal 10 RAS. Elite measurement (6031, 220), velocity (4.38 40-yard sprint), and explosion (43.0 vertical, 1106 broad). Wow. His vertical and broad had been every better of your complete 2025 mix exercises and traditionally elite. No agility checks. Finest 32 1/3” arms at security. 9” fingers.
Tulane’s Caleb Ransaw (9.94) has elite velocity (4.33 40) and explosion (40.0 vertical, 1009 broad). Good measurement, however no agility drills. 30 3/4” arms and 9 3/4” fingers.

Western Kentucky’s Upton Stout (8.09) has elite velocity (4.44 40) and explosion (37.5 vertical, 1008 broad). Very poor measurement (5084, 181). He didn’t qualify in agility (no three cone). 30” arms and 9” fingers.
One within the seven RAS vary: Oklahoma’s Billy Bowman Jr. (7.66). He has elite velocity (4.42 40), with good explosion. Very poor measurement (5097, 192), and no agility drills. 25 1/2” arms and eight 5/8” fingers.

Drop off to 1 participant within the 5 vary: Georgia’s Malaki Starks (5.49). He has nice velocity (4.5 40). Okay measurement (6007, 197), however very poor agility (4.45 shuttle, 7.26 three cone). Didn’t qualify in explosion (no broad). 31 5/8” arms and 9 1/2” fingers.
One other dip to 1 security within the 4 tier. Iowa’s Sebastian Castro (4.32) has good velocity. Poor measurement (5112, 203) and explosion (30.5 vertical, 909 broad) although. Didn’t qualify in agility (no three cone). 30 3/4” arms and largest 10 1/2” fingers at security.
The bottom RAS on the place (considerably) was Maryland’s Dante Dealer Jr. (2.13). He has okay agility, however poor measurement (5107, 196) and explosion (31.0 vertical, 909 broad). Didn’t run the 40. 31 1/4” arms and eight 7/8” fingers.
For many who just like the numbers, it’s unlucky when gamers don’t take a look at absolutely on the Mix. It will likely be attention-grabbing to observe professional days and proceed to see how the lads stack up within the coming weeks when Platt updates the location with the unofficial numbers.
