Today, we continue our positional breakdown for the Class of 2025 continues with a look at some of the most impactful Power Forwards in New England.   The Top 3 at the position all rank within our Top 25. [player_tooltip player_id='2325734' first='Landon' last='Clark'], a Princeton commit, had a fantastic summer with the Middlesex Magic. [player_tooltip player_id='1532439' first='Jayden' last='Reid'], a big time athlete, shined on the EYBL with PSA. [player_tooltip player_id='1532412' first='Dylan' last='Veillette'], another Middlesex Magic standout, was one of the spring's biggest stock risers.   All in all, it's an impressively deep group that will eventually impact all levels of college basketball. That is, after they shine on the court this winter for their respective high schools.    Take a look at five Power Forwards to watch from the Class of 2025:    O'Sullivan, a standout at the NEPSAC Showcase, was one of the summer's biggest stock risers. A legitimate perimeter shooter, O'Sullivan, a long and lean lefty, is one of the rare big men that will run off screens to knock down jumpers. Not only can he shoot the ball, but he's developed his face up game and is capable of showing a shot fake and getting downhill to finish at the rim. He has a solid post game, showing the ability to finish over either shoulder and pass out of double teams. He has soft touch on his jumper and hook shots and has good vision as a passer. Defensively, he moves well laterally, allowing him to be an effective defender in screening actions and also supplies a fair amount of rim protection. While Canisius and Loyola University have already offered, that could be just the tip of the iceberg before a big fall for O'Sullivan.     Leman, another lefty forward that can stretch the floor out past the three point line, had a solid summer on both the scholastic and travel circuits. The House We Built big man was a standout in multiple settings, showing the ability to score and rebound every step of the way. Leman does a great job of staying shot ready, has a high release point on his jumper, and can even put the ball on the floor for one or two bounces to create space. He does a nice job of utilizing jab steps and pass fakes to create space as well and is a good ball mover from the top of the key. He's an under the rim finisher that has some craftiness around the rim. He's long, mobile, and vocal on the defensive end of the floor, playing with a high motor that allows him to be effective on the glass. He's an intriguing prospect that should have plenty of opportunities to impress scholarship level coaches this fall and winter at Worcester Academy.     Daniels. yet another big lefty power forward, had a terrific summer, breaking out at multiple showcases and shining on the travel circuit with Team NSSA. A high academic prospect, Daniels is capable of playing either forward position as he shows an excellent feel for the game and is an impressive decision maker for a prospect of his size. He's terrific as a grab-and-go rebounder, handling the ball in transition and making use of his next level floor vision. He can stretch a defense out to the three and is capable of putting the ball on the deck to attack bad closeouts. Defensively, he's a versatile prospect that can guard in space and does a good job of utilizing his length to be disruptive around the rim. He'll play a major role at Northfield Mount Hermon this winter and should be on the rader of NESCAC and NEWMAC programs.     Marshall, who continues the theme of impressive left handed power forwards from New England, had a great summer with the New Haven Heat. One of the best athletes at the position, Marshall is an electric finisher in the open floor that has displayed a rapidly improving feel for the game. He's shown some signs of playmaking ability of late, putting the ball on the floor for multiple dribbles and making a handful of impressive passes on the move. He has a dynamic first step and is a powerful finisher at the rim. Right now, he shines defensively with his effort, motor, and intensity. He has a knack for coming up with loose balls, does a great job on the glass, and supplies a good amount of rim protection. The developments to his game seem to indicate that he could eventually play more on the perimeter and if that continues, he should be a surefire scholarship prospect this winter.     Onuoha, a star defensive end on the gridiron, is an athletic forward that plays bigger than his listed height. Committed to Duke for football, Onuoha is, not surprisingly, a physical specimen that can impact the game on both ends of the floor. He's an above the rim athlete that is at his best offensively in the open floor. He sets solid screens, has great hands, and is an efficient finisher around the rim off of hard rolls. Defensively, his football background comes through as he has quick feet and hands, making him a disruptive defender in passing lanes. He can guard up or down a position and is strong on the glass, using his body to block out bigger opponents and his strength to hold his ground. While his future is in football, he'll undoubtedly be a key piece to what Belmont Hill hopes to accomplish this winter and is one of the top two-sport athletes in New England.
