Rankings Update: Five New Additions At Tight End

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone Kansas published new rankings this morning for the class of 2025. The rankings now include 550 total athletes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There was minimal movement in the top 100, however, almost 100 new athletes were added since the rankings were last updated.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The two top-ranked athletes both play the tight end position and have verbally committed to play for Division I programs after high school.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is the second report on new additions to the Kansas Class of 2025 rankings and each happens to play tight end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1343591' first='Michael' last='Bernart'],</strong> TE, 6'4”, 230, St. Thomas Aquinas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bernart is a two-sport prospect debuting at No. 301. &nbsp;He is a big target who can jump and high-point the ball. He has nice hands and understands how to create space on the gridiron. The Aquinas senior is a solid blocker who does a great job of blocking down and sealing the edge for his ball carriers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1334221' first='Cooper' last='Garrison']</strong>, TE, 6'5”, 195, Trinity Academy</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Garrison made waves this summer on the combine and camp circuit. He debuts at No. 302 and an offer from Culver Stockton. He can play tight end or defensive end. I like the speed he displays on tape and he has great hands. Garrison seems willing to do what it takes to get noticed by college coaches and scouts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1398454' first='Cory' last='Culp'],</strong> TE/DE, 6'3”, 195, Sedgwick</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Culp is a versatile athlete Debuting at No. 303 overall in the class of 2025. He can play tackle or defensive end, and I think he would be valuable as a tight end. He has quality speed and finishes tackles. The Cardinals have a talented quarterback who will get attention from college coaches. Those same coaches should give Cup a look as a guy who can provide depth on a college roster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1398324' first='Brock' last='Haskell']</strong>, TE, 6'3”, 190, Goddard</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Haskell is a multiple-sport prospect for the Goddard Lions. He debuts in the ranking at No. 304. The baseball diamond might be where he ends up spending his college days, but don't be fooled this guy has skills on the football field as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1398068' first='Jason' last='Holmes-Vaughn'],</strong> TE/DE, 6'4”, 186, Wyandotte</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Wyandotte prospect debuts at No. 305. He is athletic and tough. The defensive side of the ball might be where college coaches have the most interest to utilize him. He is explosive and that quick release is why I like him as a tight-end option.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
