Armondo Blount earned his 5th star in On3's update to the 2025 On300, becoming the sixth prospect to gain five-star status. Blount has backed up his status as one of the more physically gifted defenders in the cycle at this stage. He has measured in at close to 6-foot-4, 250 pounds and flashes a dynamite first-step and quick hands. Blount had a dominant sophomore campaign at Miami Dillard, showing advanced pass rush skills as a stand up rusher. He’s also excelled in track and field as a top thrower, posting a personal best shot put toss of 55-6 feet this spring. Blount’s ability to rush the passer from any spot on the defensive front makes him one of the more projectable defenders in the 2025 cycle. It remains to be seen where he’ll top out at from a size perspective and that could ultimately determine if he’s a defensive lineman or EDGE prospect. Regardless, we felt he was worthy of adding a fifth star.
