Kentucky Sleepers to Watch For: Class of 2025 Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In my last two posts, I highlighted the class of 2024 who will be going into their final seasons of high school football this fall. There was a near-perfect balance between offensive prospects and defensive prospects for the 2024 class. The same can be said for Kentucky's class of 2025. These upcoming juniors will be going into the last 2 years of football and will begin to see more recruiters eying up their performances. Today, I will be listing a few offensive players from the class of 2025 that have not received any collegiate interest/offers as of March 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["373787"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='373787' first='Jakoven' last='Curry'] is a strong u0026amp; persistent offensive lineman for Owensboro High School. The 2025 grad excels at maintaining strong blocks for prolonged periods of live play. Furthermore, Curry has great upper body strength to continue holding back incoming blitzes without much lower body leverage. What is most admirable about Curry's game is his game IQ. Like quarterbacks, Jakoven inherits outstanding field vision before blocking and can correctly identify where most defenders are going to attack before the ball is snapped. Because of this, Curry will reposition himself to exploit the defensive weak spot which signals the running back to cut into that newly made running lane. The minor shifts u0026amp; constant repositioning show us that offensive linemen can do a lot more than just protect their QB. Currently, Jakoven holds no offers and has received one college camp invite in the past.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2JnVACu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["373794"],"_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":"Kanyon is one of the better dual-threat quarterbacks when it comes to running the football. There are two key factors as to what stands out in Kanyon's running as a QB vs other dual-threat quarterbacks in Kentucky. First, Kanyon's speed is difficult to match for most defenders. Second, he possesses u0022running backu0022 juke moves to cut past incoming defenders. Johnson prioritizes most of his plays when on the run as opposed to sitting in the pocket. When he is not running with the ball, Kanyon can quickly get out of the pocket and fake a run until he sees a receiver that he can drop it to, and make the throw. Since he is such a threat running the ball, this makes it easy for Johnson to exploit the defensive weak spots and throw it to open receivers. His tricks sum up his high-quality in-game IQ at the quarterback position. Kanyon currently holds no offers or interests from other schools, but I expect that to change over the coming years.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2JgewDu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["373041"],"_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='373041' first='Cameron' last='Jessee'] possesses some excellent skills that he has displayed on the football field. What I like most about Cameron is his superior ability to block opposing defenders. Whether it is on the line of scrimmage or blocking multiple defenders further back in the field, Cameron seems to effectively create space for the runner every single snap. His strength of ball blocking easily transfers into his on-ball game as well. When receiving the ball, Cameron can create separation through his quick jabs and muscling out opposing defenders. Furthermore, he can take plenty of hits before he finally gets brought down. With his physical dominance on the field and his willingness to go all out every game, I don't see why he can't play at the next level in the next few years. As of now, he has only attended a few collegiate camps but has received no official offers.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2Jq6NYu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["373807"],"_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":"Jaidan is a great offensive utility weapon for Campbell County High School. This is because Jaidan can block well and can run with the football exceptionally well. As a receiver, Jaidan has great foot control to make difficult catches with little room. Along with that, his off-ball speed enables him to quickly create separation from most defensive backs to get open for a pass. What the Campbell County football team utilizes Jaidan for is his on-ball speed.  Combs is a threat whenever he has possession of the football since he can create separation with his sharp u0026amp; quick jukes and great acceleration that can get him to full speed in an instant. While not much is known about Jaidan, the potential for him to further develop into an elite receiver prospect can be seen. As of now, he has not come out with no collegiate offers/camp invites.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2JWh3Nu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["373051"],"_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":"Branstetter had a productive season running the football for Metcalfe County High School. In 13 games, Charles ran for 665 rushing yards and scored 11 touchdowns (6.7 yards per carry). Charles is one of the strongest runners in his state 2A class as his strength is purely unmatched in his position. At 6'2 u0026amp; 225lbs, his athletic frame is much higher than most other backs, but his speed nearly matches those of greater runners in Kentucky. This sets him apart from most running backs since he can easily bulldoze his way through multiple defenders and be able to take lots of hits before getting brought down. It is rare to see Charles get brought down by a single player, let alone even two players. It is exciting to watch Branstetter making defenders look weak by not being able to smoothly tackle him down. I believe he has all the athletic u0026amp; physical traits necessary to develop into a top-tier running back in the state. The future is bright for the young man. However, he has not received any collegiate interest from any schools. Don't sleep on Charles Branstetter.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2JwKwGu0022u003eTape:u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64193c245d97c"} /-->
