Impactful 2025 Stockrisers in Kentucky to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After an outstanding year of high school football action in the Bluegrass State, it's time to take a look at some of the most impactful prospects that made their presence known on the field this past season. Following my breakdown of some explosive 2025s to keep an eye on, here's my list of some 2025 stockrisers in Kentucky to watch for.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1323015"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669abecaed1f8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In the first place spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='1323015' first='Adam' last='Surrey'], a wide receiver at Highlands High School. On top of his excellent catching ability in the backfield, Surrey stands out with his breakaway speed, proving he can juke out the defense on his way into enemy territory. I also like how Surrey can create solid seperation from along the edge and take it all the way to the house. Surrey also impresses me with his ability to attack the ball in the air and make the challenging catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/15227203/65b480696e81a80ec8d76e4a">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252824"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669abecaed267"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='1252824' first='Trefor' last='Thomas'], an offensive lineman at Lexington Christian Academy. What makes Thomas so dangerous at the line of scrimmage is his ability to quickly utilize his size and strength to buy the offense more time and space. I also like how Thomas can wrap up the defense with his arms and protect his quarterback in crucial moments. Thomas also showcased his ability to absorb pressure and adapt to his opponent.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2N63NA">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252793"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ab3e47b332"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Claiming the number three spot on my list of standouts is [player_tooltip player_id='1252793' first='Bryant' last='Mathis'], a running back at Madison Central High School. In addition to great footwork and electric speed off the snap, Mathis impresses me with his ability to maneuver the field and break tackles on his way into the endzone. I also like how Mathis can use bursts of speed to pick up major yardage from along the edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17507680/6552d76932dc1100e443055d">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252811"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669ab3e47b39e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another skilled prospect to keep an eye on is [player_tooltip player_id='1252811' first='Dylan' last='Morris'], a quarterback at Hancock County High School. Morris makes a considerable difference under center due to his ability to remain composed in the pocket, quickly scan the backfield and complete the deep pass. Another aspect of Morris that makes him impactful is his pin-point accuracy and ability to consistently hit his receivers in stride.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/17060447/65b90851c11a180a88379837">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1252816"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-669abecaed2e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coming in at number five on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='1252816' first='TJ' last='Cothron'], an athlete at Fern Creek High School. Cothron stands out with his size and breakaway speed, proving he can juke out the defense and break tackles en route to the backfield. Cothron also impresses me with his strong catching ability and wingspan, proving he can attack the ball in the air and outmaneuver the defense down the stretch. I also like how Cothron can quickly get open for the short pass.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2MXCN5">Tape:</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
