With our annual Top 25 Under 25 series kicking off this week, there was a notable player missing this year for the first time as Andrew Mangiapane aged out of the list. He is the first player to age out of the lists after going all the way through the system, as 2015 was our first year of making these rankings. Other prospects and players have aged out before, but Mangiapane is the first that we’ve followed right through from the first year of these rankings after he was drafted as an overager in 2015.
With that in mind, I wanted to take a look back at his journey through our rankings, with some excerpts from each season as he grew within the system and his ranking changed.
