The Hurricane Redskins had several OL stock risers in our final rankings update with the highest stock riser being [player_tooltip player_id='908621' first='Ethan' last='Chill']. Chill has great upside on both sides of the line but had a strong senior year at right tackle. He's a strong and athletic big man with the frame to continue adding size at the college level. Chill has claimed offers this month from the D1 to NAIA level, including Middle Tennesee, Morehead State, UPike, WV State, and Glenville State, to further cement his stock rising senior year.      2025 Frankfort TE/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1126310' first='Jett' last='McCullough'] had a tremendous senior season for the Falcons on both sides of the ball and earned some accolades for his performance this year. We like the 6'3 225 prospect on the offensive side of the ball at TE and believe he has a very high ceiling for the position. Frankfort runs the Wing-T so catch opportunities were limited, but McCullough has shown on film that he's plenty athletic enough to execute that side of the position. His physicality and tenacity are what make him a great candidate for a D2 TE who could develop into a future big-time player at the next level.      Brooke K [player_tooltip player_id='1126262' first='Chase' last='Hile'] had a huge season for the Bruins in the kicking game and showcased one of the strongest and most accurate legs in the state this year. Hile went a perfect 15/15 on PATS and an impressive 9/12 on field goals with a long of 48 yards. He also added 20 touchbacks on kickoffs and showed he could consistently push the ball into the endzone. Hile has the leg strength to hit from beyond 50 yards and the ball jumps off his foot at an impressive rate of power.      2025 Wheeling Park OL [player_tooltip player_id='958274' first='Hunter' last='Means'] went out and proved the potential we saw from him last season and at the PRZ WV Combine back in the spring. Means led a lethal Patriots' rushing attack this season which allowed teammate [player_tooltip player_id='1137687' first='Brennan' last='Wack'] to rush for over 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. Means is strong and physical at the point of attack showing consistent push on film while tallying several pancakes throughout his game tapes. He also showed he has the athleticism to pull frequently in their scheme and was a key reason for their rushing success this season.     The second Hurricane big man who raised his stock this season was left guard [player_tooltip player_id='908160' first='Braylon' last='Brown']. Brown is another mauling run blocker that helped produce a prolific Redskin rushing attack this season. He has a strong lower and upper body and showed he can turn his man and drive them to the ground on film. Brown picked up an offer from Glenville State this month and is a very good D2 prospect that more schools need to get eyes on.      Capital's [player_tooltip player_id='863520' first='Tucker' last='Van Meter'] has been a consistent stock riser in our rankings since last year and finishes his career inside of our 2025 Top 40. Van Meter has developed himself into a fringe D1 prospect and a must-offer for D2 programs after a strong senior year. He has the length and athleticism combo that is hard to find and showed a nasty streak on film that will give him the opportunity to develop into a very good college starter in time after he puts on some more size. Van Meter has strong and violent hands with good feet and produced against some of the best completion in the state in the MSAC this season.      2025 Martinsburg WR [player_tooltip player_id='1293973' first='Kyree' last='Bunny'] saved his best play for last in his senior year for the Bulldogs going out a state champion and one of the best receiver seasons in the state this year. Martinsburg needed an alpha receiver to step up this season after some attrition from last year's squad, and Bunny more than answered the call. He's a long and athletic 6'4 receiver with a basketball background that has a very high ceiling as a football prospect. Bunny has good speed for his size and has the natural athleticism to go up and snag the ball out of the air when contested. He was a very good deep threat and red zone target for the Bulldogs this year and is only scratching the surface of his potential with just one year of an expanded varsity role.      [player_tooltip player_id='907770' first='Brandon' last='Champion'] has been another 2025 offensive lineman who has risen the ranks and caps out with a Top 125 ranking to finish his senior year. Size has been the only hindrance to his ranking, but Champion has more than proven on the field that he can overcome that. The rest of his game will force more colleges to want his services which Bluefield State and WV State have done this month. Champion is an athletic big man with impressive physical strength that is obvious on film. His athleticism allows him to play left tackle in high school, but he'll be a great guard or potentially even center in college with a high ceiling for both spots.      One of the most improved prospects in the 2025 class over the years has been Shady Spring OL [player_tooltip player_id='952856' first='Colton' last='Henderson'] who finishes in the Top 50 of the rankings. Placing outside of the Top 100 in the past, Henderson has forced our hands to continually raise his placement with his on-field performance. He had a strong off-season and performed well at various college camps and carried that momentum into his senior season. Henderson still hasn't neared his ceiling as a player and will continue to add levels to his game in college after some time in their strength and conditioning program. He has all of the tools to develop into a future college starter with the potential to earn accolades at the next level.      2025 Fairmont Senior RB [player_tooltip player_id='1126761' first='Chris' last='Wilson'] built on the potential he flashed as a junior and closed out his high school career with a breakout senior season. He's still being overlooked by colleges in our eyes with some D3 opportunities but looks like a clear D2 prospect to us on film. Wilson has a good build for an every-down running back and has shown natural ability for the position while still being relatively new to the game. He's explosive out of the backfield and has the build to be a versatile power runner who can also break loose in the open field. D2 programs should be taking a closer look at Wilson's film and is an offer-worthy candidate at that level.      Another 2025 prospect who has improved mightily since we first saw him as a sophomore is Clay County's [player_tooltip player_id='832676' first='Noah' last='Collins']. He rewrote the Panthers' record book during his long tenure behind center and finished his career with nearly 10,000 passing yards and 112 passing touchdowns. Collins is a phenomenal athlete who got it done with his legs and on defense and special teams as well forcing his coaches to play him as much as they could. He may not be as polished as some of the other quarterback in our rankings, but the production isn't a fluke and there's plenty of raw talent here for D2 programs to work with as he continues flying under college radars.      2025 Lincoln WR/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1126321' first='Aidan' last='Rice'] was a good find as a junior and didn't miss a beat for the Cougars as a senior. Rice totaled 61 receptions for 988 yards and 11 touchdowns this season and posted over 100 total tackles on defense as a great two-way player for Lincoln. He is a natural athlete with good size which caused us to like him more as a receiver prospect for the next level and could excel at that level. Rice is just a football player who executes anything he's tasked with at a high level. His ball skills come naturally and is capable of some eye-popping acrobatic and contested catches. Rice is a must-offer for D2 programs and a hidden gem of a prospect in the making.      2025 Wahama RB [player_tooltip player_id='907169' first='Connor' last='Lambert'] had as good of a season as you can have at the high school level finishing his senior year with 2,300 rushing yards and over 50 total touchdowns as he led his team to a state championship victory. Lambert is as electric of a small school athlete as you're going to find in West Virginia and a generational talent at that level. He's an uber-explosive athlete who can find the end zone any time he touches the ball and would put up big numbers at any level in the state. Colleges have caught on to his athletic abilities as he's earned numerous opportunities this year with more likely to come. Lambert will be a fun gadget player to watch at the next level who'll they'll get the ball to in a variety of ways.      Parkersburg South's Eli Bartley showed a lot of promise as a junior for the Patriots in a limited role but got his chance as a senior to carry the load and did so impressively. Bartley rushed for 1,400 yards and 21 touchdowns this season and made the most of his lone season as the starting running back. He's a gliding runner with a versatile build and skillset that you could label as an all-purpose RB. Bartley can outrace defenders down the sideline or get you physical yards between the tackles while also having natural receiving ability out of the backfield too from his receiver days.      Hurricane's [player_tooltip player_id='908607' first='Drake' last='Lanham'] has been another steady stock riser and one of the most improved players in the state since his younger years. He's developed into a D1-level prospect with more room to grow both physically and developmentally. Lanham played left tackle this season for the Redskins and should translate well back to guard in college with a ton of potential and upside at that spot. He's a versatile and well-rounded offensive lineman with good feet and natural athleticism that he's maintained while adding size. Lanham is also a strong athlete which shows up on film with powerful hands and driving ability that's placed him as one of the best big men in this class.       [player_tooltip player_id='883592' first='Dillan' last='America'] has been very good for an overlooked Grafton program for a while now and saved his best for last as a senior that's placed him as a Top 10 WR in the class. He caught 53 passes for 1,194 yards and 18 touchdowns this season which was good for over 22 yards per catch and a placement on our Class AA First Team All-State. America is a long and athletic receiver with great natural ball skills and a knack for producing explosive plays. He can stretch the field with the best of them with the perfect skill set to be a deep play threat. America also has the ability to turn nothing into something and whose explosiveness allows him to race past defenders.      2025 Martinsburg QB/ATH [player_tooltip player_id='865706' first='Koi' last='Fagan'] likely wrapped up the Kennedy Award as the state's best player this season with an excellent senior season in his lone year as QB1 for the Bulldogs. Fagan led them to yet another state championship behind his arm and his legs and quite possibly the most dynamic player in the state this season. Which position he ultimately ends up at in college remains to be seen, but don't be surprised if some D1 programs come poking around before the next signing day. Fagan can slip through and around defense on any given touch with blazing speed and explosiveness in the open field. He's the definition of a gamer and has the "it" factor that colleges are seeking.
