2025 Rankings Release: Quarterback

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now that we are headed into the 2023 high school football season, it is time to release some new class rankings. After updating the 2023 and 2024 rankings, we have now released our initial rankings for the class of 2025. Over the next couple weeks, I will be breaking these rankings down by position. With that being said, I will kick things off with our top quarterbacks in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["331733"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"If you follow high school football in the state of Kentucky, [player_tooltip player_id='331733' first='Cutter' last='Boley'] should be a household name by now. Not only is he the best quarterback in his class but he is also the top overall player. Boley had an outstanding first season as an Eagle, completing 254/400 passes for 3,901 yards, 36 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. He has incredible arm talent, showing the strength to push the ball down the field and zip passes into tight windows. Boley also puts a tremendous amount of touch on his passes, putting the ball where only his receivers can get to it. He also has great pocket mobility, moving around the pocket to avoid pressure while keeping his eyes down the field. Boley also has shown the ability to tuck the ball and make plays on the ground when needed, running the ball 48 times for 102 yards and six touchdowns this past season. Cutter currently holds a long list of Power 5 offers and I expect that list to continue to grow as he is one of the best quarterbacks in the country in his class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["340071"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='340071' first='Deuce' last='Bailey'] is a player that truly started to make a name for himself this past season. He led Bowling Green to the 5A State Championship Game, completing 221/360 passes for 3,136 yards, 34 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. Bailey has a very strong arm, showing the ability to lead receivers down the field and hit them in stride in the deep passing game. He has also shown the ability to escape pressure and make very impressive throws on the run. Bailey is also a huge threat with his legs, running the ball 71 times for 424 yards and three touchdowns this past season. Deuce currently holds one offer from Missouri State but I expect more to come his way going into his junior year as he is a Division I caliber quarterback.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["331734"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='331734' first='Kade' last='Elam'] is another quarterback who burst onto the scene as a sophomore. He had an incredible season, leading Corbin to the 4A State Championship year. Elam finished his sophomore season completing 158/219 passes for 2,455 yards, 33 touchdowns, and only three interceptions. Elam has impressive arm strength, showing the ability to push the ball down the field and hit receivers in stride in the deep passing game. He also puts a nice amount of touch on his passes, putting the ball where only his intended receiver can get to it. Elam is also able to use his speed and elusiveness in the open field to pose as a huge threat as a ball carrier, running the ball 79 times for 520 yards and 14 touchdowns this past season. Kade is committed to play baseball at Louisville but he also holds a football offer from Eastern Kentucky and could be a Division I quarterback if he were to have a change of heart.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["331739"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='331739' first='Bryce' last='Button'] is a quarterback that has been on our radar for a while now that continued to impress this past season. Button had a strong sophomore year, completing 168/272 passes for 2,021 yards, 16 touchdowns, and ten interceptions. Bryce throws an impressive deep ball, leading his receivers away from defensive backs and placing the ball where only his receiver can catch it. He also does a great job of going through his progressions and keeping his eyes down the field while moving around the pocket to avoid pressure. Button has also shown the ability to tuck the ball and make plays on the ground when needed, finishing his sophomore year with 90 carries for 438 yards and six touchdowns. Bryce currently holds an offer from Eastern Kentucky but I expect more to come his way as he is a Division I caliber quarterback and has received a ton of college interest.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["735547"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Wrapping up our top five quarterbacks in the class of 2025 in Kentucky is [player_tooltip player_id='735547' first='Jack' last='James'] from Paducah Tilghman.

He has a very strong arm, showing the ability to hit receivers in stride in the deep passing game. James is also able to use that strength in the short/intermediate passing game by showing the ability to zip passes into tight windows. He also ran the ball 58 times for 74 yards this past season. James currently holds offers from Eastern Kentucky, Troy, and Miami (OH), and I expect more to come his way as he has the talent to play at the Division I level.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-642453b458e62"} /--> <!-- wp:heading {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <h2 class="has-medium-font-size">Best of the Rest (Players Included in Top 150):</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>6.
