Today we will focus on the class of 2025 in Guernsey County. Here are some 2025 prospects you need to keep an eye on in Guernsey County for the 2023 season.
Mitchell George
Mitchell George
Meadowbrook High School will have one of the higher upside offensive linemen in the 2025 Ohio class. Rising junior Mitchell George has already received his first Division 1 offer from the University of Akron with still two years of high school left. He is already a big boy at just under 6’5 and 275 pounds who is seemingly getting bigger every day. He is the younger brother of former University of Cincinnati walk-on and current Akron scholarship offensive lineman AJ George who stands at 6’6-6’7 giving you an idea of how big Mitchell can get. On the field, he is a very physical player who enjoys overpowering defenders and finishing blocks. George moves well for his size and age and can block out in space. As he keeps growing and putting on muscle, George could end up being a P5-caliber recruit and will be a highly sought-after prospect.
Isaiah Mayle
Isaiah Mayle
Moving to Cambridge High School, the Bobcats have a nice 2025 DB prospect in Isaiah Mayle. Mayle is a lengthy sophomore standing at 6’0 who still has plenty of time to keep growing and filling out his frame. He will need to keep adding weight at 140-150 pounds but with how tall and young he is that is to be expected. Mayle is a versatile player who saw time at both cornerback and safety last season. He is a very rangy player who has nice speed and can cover a lot of ground quickly. Mayle does a nice job in both pass and rush defense and does well coming downhill in run defense from his safety position. You can put him on an island at cornerback with his size and speed and he can lock down one side of the field.
There is a lot to like and work with for the 2025 defensive back prospect with still two more years of development.
Cody Quillin
Cody Quillin
Staying at Cambridge High School for our next 2025 name to know is RB/LB Cody Quillin. Quillin saw a lot of time last year during his sophomore season on both sides of the ball. He plays fast and physically on both sides and could play either at the next level. On offense, he is a one-cut-and-go running back who runs hard. His highest ceiling position might be at linebacker but will need to keep getting bigger and adding strength at 5’10 170. Quillin runs to the ball well on defense and likes to make physical tackles. He has enough speed to run ball carriers down and can get out in space to cover passes. Quillin slips through gap creases well and is a sure physical tackler.
With how fast he plays and his willingness to be physical, there is a lot to like about the 2025 athlete.
Talan Cannon
Talan Cannon
Heading back to Meadowbrook with another 2025 LB prospect name to know is Talan Cannon. Cannon is already a well-put-together rising junior at 6’0 220 and is a physical player. The best part of his game is when he’s in run defense situations from his middle linebacker spot which gets him going downhill at the snap. Cannon will need to keep developing his speed and lateral quickness to be a complete linebacker but there are a lot of tools to work with at his size and age. You can tell he is already a strong athlete and spends time in the weight room. Cannon is also a sure tackler who is tough to get away from once he gets his hands on you. He also does a nice job of not letting ball carriers get extra yards after initial contact.
Ethan Heady
Ethan Heady
Our final 2025 prospect name to know is Meadowbrook DL, Ethan Heady. Heady has nice size for a rising junior at 6’1 255 and will likely keep getting bigger as time goes on. He is an interior lineman who could play nose guard or tackle at the next level. Heady is very strong for his age and is hard to move off of the line of scrimmage. Although he’s not really a pass rusher at this time, he can demand double teams and open up holes for his linebackers to make plays. Heady is stout in run defense and can stand offensive linemen up and make stops at the line of scrimmage with some ability to also get in the backfield. Heady needs to work on pad level and leverage and finds himself getting too straight up allowing offensive linemen to control him at times. If he can fix some fundamentals he will end up being a very solid prospect and a force in the interior of the defensive line. Heady is also a solid wrestler which you can see in his football game.
