Continue ReadingThe talent coming out of West Tennessee has been increasing a lot over the last few years and the junior class looks to be quite stacked with some future college ball players!
(Note – Plenty of new prospects will join this list over the coming months)
(RB) Rhyan Brown Rhyan Brown 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Melrose | 2025 State TN – Melrose: Athletic and fast with breakaway speed, Brown is already establishing himself as not only one of the best from the West Tennessee region but also from his running back position. He will share the backfield with a talented senior this year but expect to continue hearing much more from the Golden Wildcats back over the coming years.
(RB) Camarion Miller Camarion Miller 5'8" | 170 lbs | RB Haywood | 2025 State TN – Haywood: Miller has yet to see his recruiting stock flourish but trust me, this guy is talented and possibly one of the best running back prospects from our #TN2025 class. Well balanced with a strong lower base, the Tomcats junior runner shows explosive traits on the film along with breakaway speed once he hits the open field. Those offers haven’t arrived yet but trust me they will!
(WR) Joakim Dodson Joakim Dodson 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Baylor | 2025 State TN – Collierville: Dodson is already viewed as one of the best prospects in the state for the #TN2025 class and I think he will eventually develop into a national recruit before it’s all said and done. Tall and long with a great feel for the game, Dodson has all the tools you want in a game changing receiver and he is just scratching the surface!
(WR) Radarious Jackson Radarious Jackson 6'3" | 185 lbs | WR Sheffield | 2025 State TN – Sheffield: Big and physical with the understanding on how to get away from his defender, Jackson is a multi-tooled wideout that has D1, possible P5 upside written all over him. The Knights junior pass catcher shows deceptive, breakaway speed on film along with strong hands and the ability to get open on a consistent basis.
(OT/G) Kalvin Meadows Kalvin Meadows 6'5" | 280 lbs | OL Chester Co. | 2025 State TN – Chester Co.: The Eagles could be in store for a big 2023 season, especially with this big man up front blocking. Meadows is a long term potential prospect that sports the size, length and lower base mobility to develop into a college tackle one day. His body is still lean and Meadows is still learning the game but the potential is there as well as the upside to become a formidable pass blocker on the college level.
(OL) Taysean Johnson Taysean Johnson 6'3" | 275 lbs | DL Hardin Co. | 2025 TN – Hardin Co.: Raw but talented with the body frame to take on more weight, Johnson is an intriguing prospect that has the look of a future college tackle/guard due to his athleticism and mobility. Johnson sports long arms and a lean frame that could fit well at tackle but must continue to learn the game while putting on more size to eventually become the talent I think he can be.
(DT) Kalen Edwards Kalen Edwards 6'4" | 315 lbs | DL Dyersburg | 2025 State TN – Dyersburg: When you turn this guy’s film on, you immediately see a technique sound mauler with athleticism and the potential to not only play Power Five football but take his game beyond into the professional ranks. That’s lofty expectations but the physical abilities and traits are there if Edwards continues to develop in the right direction.
(DL) Brycen Boone Brycen Boone 6'2" | 245 lbs | DL Memp. Central | 2025 State TN – Memp. Central: The upcoming Fall football season could be a breakout year for this versatile D-lineman who is well built physically along with the lower base agility to provide a pass rush from multiple areas within the trenches. Boone is a bit undersized 6’2 but shows an active motor along with powerful hands that can be developed into a potential 3-4 defensive pass rusher.
(DE) Garrett Hagan Garrett Hagan 6'3" | 240 lbs | DL Houston | 2025 State TN – Houston: Hagan is a true hidden gem that still doesn’t understand how good he can be but the physical makeup and athletic traits are there to develop into a formidable edge pass rusher. Naturally strong with active hands, the Mustangs rising junior has the size and burst to work the edge or pack on the weight to move inside and provide athleticism up the middle.
(LB) Austin Howard Austin Howard 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB Bartlett | 2025 State TN – Bartlett: The next great defender to come out of the Panthers program might be this linebacker who sports the height, length and body frame to work the edge or middle as a college player. Howard is far from a finished product but shows on the film the burst, speed and twitch off the edge that defensive coaches would love to develop.
(LB) Gabe Lovorn Gabe Lovorn 6'4" | 230 lbs | DL South Gibson | 2025 State TN – South Gibson: People better start knowing about this West Tennessee linebacker because his film is exceptional and Lovorn sports the physical size and abilities to make it into the D1 ranks. Standing 6 ‘4 225 pounds, Lovorn fits the role of an edge linebacker well along with having the motor and speed to cause havoc in the backfield inside the college game.
(DB) Chase Sutton Chase Sutton 6'0" | 165 lbs | DB Bartlett | 2025 State TN – St. Georges: Playing the “Mr Everything” card for his Gryphons team, Sutton takes on a lot of responsibilities but that shows his value and why collegiate coaches are interested with this Memphis area prospect. Sutton is an athletic, quick twitch guy who shows the biggest potential at defensive back and that’s where most schools like him the most.
(S) Tyler Williams Tyler Williams 6'3" | 190 lbs | ATH Munford | 2025 State TN – Munford: Williams is quickly establishing himself as one of the top safety prospects from our junior class after an active off-season where this West Tennessee product has landed seven offers thus far with several others interested. Big and physical with range, Williams looks the part right now and still has plenty of room to grow physically and with his game.
(Ath) Jamarion Morrow Jamarion Morrow 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Germantown | 2025 State TN – Germantown: The Red Devils have a large group of talented prospects but maybe nobody has more athletic upside than Morrow. A two-way talent for his squad, Morrow is well built physically along with the juice in his lower half to develop into a big play running back on the collegiate gridiron.
(Ath) Jaylen Mosley Jaylen Mosley 6'0" | 190 lbs | ATH Jackson Christian | 2025 State TN – Jackson Christian: This Jackson area two-way talent has already seen his stock reach Power Five status and I expect many other top level programs to get involved soon because Mosley is just too talented! Sporting college size, the Eagles junior playmaker has the physical makeup to handle either running back, receiver or safety on the next level and excel at all three.
(Ath) Yasir Muhammad Yasir Muhammad 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Germantown | 2025 State TN – Memp. Central: A track star with blazing speed, Muhammad is one of the best overall natural athletes from our #TN2025 class and college coaches have started to take notice. Landing his 1st Power Five offer recently from Vanderbilt, Muhammad is a dynamic playmaker with position versatility and the upside to develop into a lockdown cover corner on the next level.
