Louisiana 2025 rankings update countdown: Top 10

Prep Redzone Louisiana will release its latest 2025 rankings this week, followed by 2026 and 2027 updates and first 2028 rankings in the weeks to follow.   Leading up to the complete, 400-player list on Thursday, we will count down the top 50 in more detail.   And make sure to check back following the release for additional features and notes on the 2025 cohort, including looks at debuts, stock-risers and the highest-ranking unsigned seniors.     10. [player_tooltip player_id='710075' first='Devin' last='Harper'] — 6-5, 295 OL — Calvary Baptist   The top-ranked offensive lineman holds down that distinction as he wraps up his high school and heads to Ole Miss after the Rebels managed to flip him from LSU during the course of his senior season. Harper possesses prototypical size for the next level and plays with a nasty physicality from an explosive first step through the whistle. He has spent his high school career at tackle and played well there, but may more likely project inside at guard where he should thrive as a run-blocker. Either way, he brings an impressive athletic profile to the line group in Oxford.   9. [player_tooltip player_id='913897' first='Corey' last='Adams Jr.'] — 6-4, 240 DL — Edna Karr   The highest-ranked of a solid Ole Miss contingent in Louisiana's 2025 class, the Edna Karr defensive lineman is a disruptive playmaker with a tall, long frame and positionally versatility across the front. Adams earned Class 5A Outstanding Defensive Player honors for his 47 tackles, including 17 for loss and 15 sacks, and four forced fumbles to help spearhead the Cougars' loaded defense on their way to their first state championship since 2019.   8. [player_tooltip player_id='710071' first='Jaboree' last='Antoine'] — 6-2, 180 DB — Westgate   One of Louisiana's top 2025 athletes unfortunately had a second straight season heavily limited by injury, but remains a signing Miami was thrilled to pull from the state. Antoine is a long, athletic defensive back with great instincts and ball skills — a two-way and multisport star who also excelled at quarterback and on the basketball court and played primarily at cornerback on defense during his high school career, but may ultimately project as a safety. He'll have to work back from his knee injury and make the transition to the next level after having setbacks cost him most of his upperclassman years, but Antoine has been a top-10 mainstay for years now for a reason and brings tremendous potential to south Florida.   7. [player_tooltip player_id='913900' first='Jasper' last='Parker'] — 6-1, 210 RB — Archbishop Shaw   The Michigan signee rushed 245 times for 1,901 yards and 28 touchdowns and caught nine passes for 172 yards and another score to help lead Archbishop Shaw to its first state championship since 1987 and earn all-state honors in the process. Parker has been one of the most physical runners in Louisiana's loaded 2025 class at the position throughout his high school career and heads to college now listed more than 20 pounds stronger than his previous measurements. He runs with a great balance of patience, vision and decisiveness and can be gone for big gains through an opposing defense in a hurry when a running lane presents itself — as on a pivotal 62-yard score in the Class 4A state-title game.   6. [player_tooltip player_id='914207' first='Aidan' last='Anding'] — 5-11, 165 DB — Ruston   The Bearcats' star — and now LSU signee — continues his consistent climb up the rankings well into the top 10. The 16-month timeline from basketball player joining the football team for the first time to SEC cornerback has been nothing shy of meteoric. And even as his notoriety and expectations raised, Anding continued to impress week in and week out. The springy athlete earned his second straight all-state nod with 33 tackles, five interceptions and three special-teams scores as an electric return man.   5. [player_tooltip player_id='710073' first='James' last='Simon'] — 6-0, 200 RB — Calvary Baptist   The Texas signee earned all-state recognition for a second straight season with his 1,280 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground, plus another 296 yards and a score as a receiver. Simon is a decisive, violent running back with his explosive burst, suddenness and ability to press defenders onto their heels and off their balance with subtle, but lethal shifts at his top speed. He also possesses one of the top receiving skillsets in Louisiana's loaded running back class, which features in its own right some talented pass-catchers.   4. [player_tooltip player_id='426960' first='TaRon' last='Francis'] — 6-1, 210 WR — Edna Karr   Louisiana's top-ranked 2025 wide receiver throughout his high school career earned his second-straight all-state honors with 71 catches for 1,246 yards and 12 touchdowns. "ManChild" is a thickly built, explosive athlete with sure hands and the ability to make big plays at every level from pushing downfield vertically to breaking quick screens and slants with his impressive strength and contact balance for a high school wide receiver.   3. [player_tooltip player_id='914208' first='J.T.' last='Lindsey'] — 5-11, 190 RB — Alexandria   One more nice leap for the Trojans' star running back, who helped lead the program to its best season in school history and earned the Class 5A Offensive Outstanding Player award. Lindsey was a human highlight reel throughout the fall with impressive power and balance through contact, an explosive burst and breakaway track speed in the open field. He finished the season with 2,476 yards and 33 touchdowns on 324 carries against one of the state's toughest schedules, while catching 18 passes for another 248 yards and three scores.   2. [player_tooltip player_id='212341' first='Jahkeem' last='Stewart'] — 6-6, 280 DL — Edna Karr   Much has changed since the last rankings update when Stewart topped the 2026 list as a St. Augustine junior entering the fall. He transferred to Edna Karr and reclassified up a year shortly thereafter, was ruled ineligible for the season and ultimately signed last month as an early enrollee for this spring semester. The biggest question mark is how the young player with just a season of varsity experience handles the transition to his Power Four opportunity on the west coast and the pressures and challenges of facing the spotlight and competition in some cases five-plus years his senior. But the physical traits he brings as a tall, athletic and versatile defensive lineman and the   1. [player_tooltip player_id='291097' first='Harlem' last='Berry'] – 5-11, 185 RB — St. Martin's Episcopal   The Saints' electric weapon will wrap up his high school career in the same top rankings spot he has spent the past few years. His quick feet, explosive burst and breakaway speed are all eye-popping, but Berry is a well-rounded back who plays well through contact and showcases an elite route-running and pass-catching skillset for a young a running back. The LSU signee should have the opportunity to be a versatile weapon at the next level with the threat he can provide in a variety of capacities on offense and in the return game.
