What do the green and red diamond mean in College Football 25?

When you start working on recruiting in College Football 25 Dynasty Mode, eventually some fully scouted players will begin to show a few icons that players might not immediately recognize. Most notably, the red and green diamonds can appear after you've scouted a prospect.

If you get a red diamond which appears cracked, it means that College Football 25 prospect is likely to be a bust. Your scout has discovered they're likely overrated on their star rating, and may not be quite as valuable to your team as you initially believed.

On the opposite side of that though, if you fully scout a prospect and discover a green diamond it means they're a hidden gem. That player is likely even better than initially believed, and could improve to a standout starter once they're on your squad.

The main other icon you may notice is the handshake icon with a crossed out symbol through it, and this is about their dealbreaker. Not every prospect in College Football 25 will have a dealbreaker, but some players will refuse to go to any program for a specific reason such as being too far from home, not having coach prestige, or not having a high likelihood of them getting drafted into the NFL after their college career.
