In the rankings update for the class of 2025, there was a lot of movement in a very talent-rich class. With that being said, I wanted to take a look at some of the risers in the class that caught my attention after looking back at the rankings update. To kick things off, here are some notable stock risers in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky on the offensive side of the ball.
Easton Jessie Easton Jessie 6’1″ | 180 lbs | QB Adair County | 2025 State KY is a player that climbed up our rankings following a strong junior year. This past season, Jessie completed 131/209 passes for 2,164 yards, 21 touchdowns, and three interceptions in 12 games. Easton has a very strong arm which he is able to use to stretch the field in the deep passing game. He has also shown impressive accuracy, showing the ability to hit his intended receiver out of their break where only they can catch the pass. Jessie has also shown true dual-threat ability, finishing his junior year with 107 carries for 497 yards and six touchdowns. Easton currently holds an offer from Toledo and I expect more to come his way as his talent will be on full display his senior year after transferring to Adair County who has a high-powered passing attack.
Dylan Morris Dylan Morris 6’3″ | 200 lbs | QB Hancock County | 2025 State KY is a quarterback that jumped into our rankings after a solid 2023 season. Morris completed 129/208 passes for 1,827 yards, 12 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 11 games. Dylan throws an impressive deep ball, showing the arm strength to lead his receivers down the field and hit them in stride. He has also shown impressive accuracy, showing the ability to fit passes into tight windows where only his intended receiver can catch it. Morris also showed the ability to make plays with his legs when needed this past season, finishing the year with 34 carries for 136 yards and six touchdowns. Dylan doesn’t currently hold any offers but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some come his way soon as he has received some college interest and has the talent to play quarterback at the next level.
Highlights
Bryant Mathis Bryant Mathis 5’10” | 180 lbs | RB Madison Central | 2025 State KY is another new addition to our rankings that caught my attention with a strong junior year. He had an impressive 2023 season, leading his team in rushing with 223 carries for 1,281 yards and 14 touchdowns in 12 games. Mathis has explosive speed which he uses to hit the running lane with a sense of urgency and run away from the defense on long runs. He has also shown the elusiveness and contact balance to make defenders miss in the open field. Bryant also played a role in the passing game this past season, finishing with 15 receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown. Mathis doesn’t currently hold any offers but he has received some college interest and definitely has the talent to play somewhere at the next level.
Landon Lorms Landon Lorms 6’3″ | 195 lbs | WR Ryle | 2025 State KY is a player that jumped onto our radar with a very impressive junior season. Lorms led his team in receiving as a junior with 91 catches for 1,023 yards and 13 touchdowns in 13 games. Landon is very reliable in contested catch situations, showing the athleticism to go up and catch the ball at its highest points along with the strong hands to bring in the pass through contact. He has also shown the speed to pose as a threat on the outside in the deep passing game. Lorms also threw two touchdown passes this past season. Landon doesn’t currently hold any offers but I expect some to come his way going into his senior year as he has received some college interest and has the talent to make a true impact at the next level.
Highlights
My final offensive stock riser in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky is Trefor Thomas Trefor Thomas 6’4″ | 240 lbs | OL Lexington Christian Academy | 2025 State KY . Thomas had a strong junior season at right tackle for the Eagles. He plays with a ton of physicality, showing the ability and willingness to finish his blocks through the whistle, resulting in several pancake blocks. Thomas also does a great job of getting to the second level in a hurry, especially during screen passes, and destroying anything in his path in the open field. Trefor currently holds an offer from Army and I expect more to come his way as he is a Division I caliber prospect.
