Rivals.com announced the final five-star update for the Class of 2025 on Tuesday:

@Adam Gorney's Take: Javion Hilson might own the craziest recruitment among the five-stars in the 2025 class and in the end, Missouri won out for the five-star defensive end. The Cocoa, Fla., standout first committed to Alabama and then was pledged to Florida State before reopening his recruitment again. That’s when things went off as Hilson was looking at UCF, Pitt, Syracuse, Florida State, Texas and Texas A&M. But a late visit to Missouri swayed his decision and he picked the Tigers.


Hilson has all the tools on the field to be special. The five-star defensive end has incredible length and burst off the line of scrimmage, almost where he gets by the offensive tackle before he can get out of their stance. He has an aggressive mentality and a relentless pursuit to the ball and that kind of motor will be needed in the SEC.
