Defensive tackle Tanner Jumpp was the last man playing in Northwestern's Class of 2025, and his Lake Mary squad took on Venice for the state title in Florida's top class over the weekend.

The Eagles came up short but Jumpp was the fifth member of Northwestern's 20-player class to play for his state title, and the eighth to make it as far as the semis.

Read about Jumpp's last game plus the accolades and season recaps of the Class of 2025 in this year's final Recruit Roundup.

Lake Mary's program-defining postseason run came to a close last week with a 52-19 loss to Venice in Florida's Class 7A state title game.

Lake Mary trailed just 7-6 in the second quarter, but Venice scored 24 straight points in the last five minutes of the half to take a 31-6 lead into the locker room. The Rams weren't able to mount a comeback in the second half.

It wasn't the ending the Rams wanted, but it was still a landmark season. This was the first time in school history that they had made a state final game, led by a fearsome defense featuring Jumpp and a prolific offense with Notre Dame 2026 quarterback commit Noah Grubbs.

Lake Mary finished their season at 12-3.
