Stockrising 2025s in Kentucky to Watch For

As the 2024 season quickly approaches in the Bluegrass State, it's time to highlight a few senior prospects that should make a considerable impact on the field this upcoming year. Following my breakdown of some intriguing 2026 defensive linemen to keep an eye on, here's my list of some stockrising 2025s in Kentucky to watch for.    In the first place spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='1352788' first='Braylon' last='Adams'], a quarterback at Allen County Scottsville High School. Adams makes a huge difference at the helm of the offense with his ability to maneuver the pocket, remain composed under heavy pressure and quickly scan the backfield for open receivers. Adams also stands out with his pin-point accuracy in the air, proving his ability to complete the deep pass and put his team on the scoreboard.   <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/14495562/655cd59d478d7f0604f5ba61">Tape:</a>     I am additionally impressed with [player_tooltip player_id='1339282' first='Luke' last='Erdman'], an athlete at Beechwood High School. What makes Erdman so explosive is his shiftiness on the ground as well as his ability to juke out the defense en route to the backfield. Erdman also stands out with his physicality in coverage, proving he can haul in the deep pass despite heavy pushback from the defense. I also like how Erdman can push off defenders to get wide open for the touchdown pass.   <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/17980554/657004b2a018f511e0150bc7">Tape:</a>     Claiming the number three spot on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='1226619' first='Toren' last='Redmond'], a wide receiver at Marshall County High School. Redmond stands out with his excellent breakaway speed and ability to quickly get open for the deep pass from along the edge. I also like how Redmond can utilize his wingspan down the stretch, proving he can attack the ball in the air and consistently blast into the endzone for the touchdown.   <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2MMZjk">Tape:</a>     Another skilled prospect to watch for is [player_tooltip player_id='1252785' first='Cade' last='Churchwell'], a linebacker at McCracken County High School. Churchwell makes a major impact defensively with his ability to read the offense like a book and quickly shut down receivers after the catch. I also like how Churchwell can quickly stop the rush, proving his physicality and tackling ability in the pocket.   <a href="http://www.hudl.com/video/3/16050576/65a6c65915f632091013eecb">Tape:</a>     Coming in at number five on my list is [player_tooltip player_id='1275455' first='Donta' last='Smith'], a defensive lineman at Pleasure Ridge Park High School. What makes Smith so impactful on the defensive end is his ability to read the quick handoff and make crucial stops in the pocket. On top of his great size at the line of scrimmage, I also like how Smith can use bursts of speed to catch the running back from along the edge.   <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17881568/654aafbbb018b2080c2eba73">Tape:</a>     Also worth mentioning on my list of standouts is [player_tooltip player_id='1179232' first='Grayson' last='Napier'], a defensive back at Eastern High School. What impresses me about Napier's playstyle is his ability to contain wide receivers down the stretch, using his outstanding speed and physicality to get in prime position for the interception. I also like how Napier can quickly adapt off the snap to shut down the rush and protect the backfield.   <a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2MTeHH">Tape:</a>
