SI Power List 2025: Five Athletes Who Didn't Make the Cut But Could in 2026

Sports Illustrated recently released the 2025 Power List, consisting of the 50 most influential figures in the sports world, including the top athletes across the globe.

Of course, it's impossible to name every single athlete in the world who continues to have a major influence on fans and sports in general. But each year, there is a list of athletes who stand out above the rest. Some of this year's Power List athletes include NFL quarterback Jayden Daniels, Texas quarterback Arch Manning, reigning WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson and MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani, to name a few. You can check out the full list here.
