The 2025 high school football season will be getting underway in less than six weeks, which means it’s officially preview season. Rivals is breaking down the nation’s top teams from coast-to-coast, and today we make our way to the Palmetto State to look at <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/dutch-fork-irmo-sc-2009/">Dutch Fork</a>. The Silver Foxes always are somewhere near the top of the state rankings in South Carolina and 2025 will be no different. With a roster that features some of the best players in the state, is there any team that can challenge Dutch Fork?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-player-spotlight-edge-julian-walker">Player Spotlight: EDGE Julian Walker</h2>



We don’t think there’s anyone better to spotlight from the Dutch Fork roster than the Michigan commitment coming off the edge. <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/julian-walker-244079/">Julian Walker</a>, a four-star edge rusher, was a menace to handle for opposing offensive lines all of last season. At 6-foot-6, 240 pounds, Walker could feasibly line up anywhere across the line of scrimmage and cause havoc. With the senior playing in his final season at Dutch Fork, he will look to go out with a big statistical campaign and another state title in hand.



Others to watch: DL <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/jaden-wuerth-242669/">Jaden Wuerth</a>, QB Ethan Offing, LB Raleigh Salters 



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-season-prediction-9-0">Season Prediction: 9-0</h2>



It’s difficult to make the argument that this season for Dutch Fork will end in anything but another SCHSFL AAAAA Division I state championship. I mean, the team went 13-0 last season and returns key pieces on both sides of the ball. That combined with a fairly advantageous schedule should equal an undefeated season. Every game via the Massey Ratings game predictions are no closer than three scores at the minimum. A series of blowouts are what looks to be lined up in Dutch Fork’s future because the road back to the state championship game through the regular season slate doesn’t seem challenging. Maybe in the state semis or title game itself, but we see the Silver Foxes bringing home the hardware, again.
