#TN2025 Standouts to Watch in Week 3

<p>After the first two weeks of highly entertaining high school football action in the Volunteer State, it's time to look back at some of the most explosive standouts from the class of 2025 that have made their presence known on the field throughout the first few contests of the season. Without any further ado, here's my list of some highly explosive 2025 playmakers to keep an eye on this upcoming Friday as week three of the season kicks off.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. [player_tooltip player_id='219419' first='George' last='MacIntyre'] - QB - 2025 - Brentwood Academy</h2>   <p>At the top of my list is [player_tooltip player_id='219419' first='George' last='MacIntyre'], a 6-foot-5, 190-pound quarterback at Brentwood Academy. What makes MacIntyre so dangerous at the helm of the Eagles' offense is his speed, well-balanced playstyle and ability to get the ball out of his hands quickly off the snap. I am additionally impressed with MacIntyre's passing as he can hit his receivers in stride on quick passes as well as deep shots down the field. With great footwork, composure under pressure and precise passing, MacIntyre should be worth keeping an eye on in week three of the season.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. [player_tooltip player_id='390716' first='Brenden' last='Anes'] - LB - 2025 - Page</h2>   <p>I am also impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='390716' first='Brenden' last='Anes'], a 6-foot-2, 220-pound linebacker at Page High School. Anes is a highly explosive defensive playmaker on the Patriots' roster, proving he can quickly punish the offense off the snap, create pressure and sack the quarterback. In addition to outstanding athleticism and durability, Anes impresses me with his quick footwork, impactfulness and ability to pounce. Anes contributes the ability to both overwhelm the offense and disrupt their production. He should not be slept on in week three.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. [player_tooltip player_id='219412' first='Chauncey' last='Gooden'] - OL - 2025 - Lipscomb Academy</h2>   <p>Claiming the number three spot on my list of standouts is [player_tooltip player_id='219412' first='Chauncey' last='Gooden'], a 6-foot-4, 315-pound offensive lineman at Lipscomb Academy. Gooden has proven himself as a crucial component of the Mustangs' offense, exerting his strength and physical edge to blast the defense, knocking the opposition to the ground, creating running room for the offense and forcing disorganization among the opposition. Gooden will definitely be an interesting prospect to watch out for on the field in week three.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. [player_tooltip player_id='219421' first='Cameron' last='Sparks'] - TE - 2025 - Baylor</h2>   <p>Another high-level playmaker to keep an eye on is [player_tooltip player_id='219421' first='Cameron' last='Sparks'], a 6-foot-4, 210-pound tight end from Baylor High School. Sparks has made a considerable difference offensively for the Red Raiders this season, hauling in more than a few significant completions as well as several touchdown passes. What makes Sparks so explosive is his breakaway quickness off the snap and ability to body defenders in the backfield, using strong movement and bursts of speed to blast past the defense and into the endzone. Sparks is certainly worth watching this upcoming week.</p>    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">5. [player_tooltip player_id='309135' first='Jaylan' last='Morgan'] - DB - 2025 - Rockvale</h2>   <p>Coming in at number five on my list of intriguing players is [player_tooltip player_id='309135' first='Jaylan' last='Morgan'], a 6-foot-0, 185-pound defensive back from Rockvale High School. Morgan impresses me with his overall awareness, athleticism and ability to read the offense. Morgan also stands out due to his quick positioning off the snap as well as his ability to disrupt the passing game down the stretch. I also like how Morgan uses his physicality and strength in coverage, muscling receivers out of position. Entering week three of the season, Morgan should be a crucial difference maker to keep an eye on.</p>
