#TN2027 Spring Stock Risers (Offense)

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">It's been an active recruiting season for our junior class with several prospects pushing their stocks to another level. These players below are the one's on offense that are generating serious interest among college coaches. </h2>     (QB) [player_tooltip player_id='1167467' first='Will' last='Jones'] - Maryville   - It's been a slow but steady recruiting process thus far for Jones but things have started to pick up as of late where this East Tennessee signal caller has landed recent offers from Georgia St. and Murray St. Landing two offers doesn't mean you're a big stock riser but the recruiting along with his development are combination reasons why Jones made this list. The Rebels quarterback is quietly positioning himself as one of the top dual threat guys coming out of our #TN2027 class. This guy is a gamer that shows excellent leadership behind center but also playmaking abilities with both his arm and his leg that translates well to the college level. He still has plenty of work to go but I can see his game forming nicely into one of the best quarterbacks from our junior crop.    - - - - -    (RB) [player_tooltip player_id='905235' first='Khamoni' last='Williams'] - Memp. Business Academy   - It might have taken a little time to get here but Williams may now be considered one of the top offensive prospects coming out of our #TN2027 class. A bruising back with a well put together physical body, Williams has seen his stock take off over the last month where this Memphis area prospect landed offers from Auburn, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio St., Ole Miss, Pittsburgh, Purdue and Wisconsin. Those are some power programs, which says many other Power Four schools will get involved over time and possibly soon. Williams is a downhill attacking runner that defenders have a hard time bringing down, especially when he gets into the open field. More initial burst and overall speed needs to be increased with Williams but I love the upside here from a potential national recruit.    - - - - -    (RB) [player_tooltip player_id='1103496' first='Asa' last='Barnes'] - Westview   - Coming off a breakout sophomore year that saw Barnes become an important piece behind the Chargers run into the Class 2A title game, this West Tennessee ball carrier has continued his surge on the recruiting trail by landing some serious offers from the likes of Alabama, Florida St., Ohio St., Ole Miss and Purdue. What college coaches are liking from Barnes is his combination of power and speed as well as his upside to increase his athletic skill set as he continues to mature. This guy is hard to bring down, especially once he reaches the open field. He runs with serious passion and eagerness to lower his shoulder and run over his opponent. Even though Barnes comes from a small town, this guy is a power player that should only see his stock continue to rise over the Summer and Fall months.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024/09/asabarnes-crop-700x460-1725420335.jpg?w=700" alt="" class="wp-image-1419940" style="width:292px;height:auto" /></figure>   - - - - -    (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='817933' first='Jamir' last='Dean'] - Alcoa   - This could be the next great star to come out of the Alcoa football program and the great thing about Dean is that he is still an unpolished product that has more levels to go with his game. Sporting good size (6'2 180) and natural athleticism, Dean is a multi-talented prospect that has the potential to handle the “X” or “Y” position out wide while having the speed and shifty movements to work the slot if needed as well. College programs have begun to see the upside as the Tornadoes wideout has landed offers thus far from Georgia St. MTSU, Toledo and Virginia Tech with plenty of interest coming from others. I love the upside here but I also see room for further development. I believe you will continue to see his stock rising over these summer camp months and continue in the Fall as a potential breakout star.    - - - - -    (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='1118087' first='Eli' last='Ferguson'] - Brentwood Academy   - Looking into the coming Fall football season, Ferguson could be on the verge of becoming a high level, productive wideout for his Eagles offense, especially if you gauge everything by his offer list. So far through his recruitment, Ferguson has landed offers from Florida St., Indiana, Miami OH, Mississippi St., Purdue and UCLA along with a few others. It's been a slow but steady climb up the recruiting charts for this Mid-Tennessee product but I can see his stock soar even further with a breakout junior season. What I and college coaches like with Ferguson is his upside to excel out of the slot where his athleticism and speed can be a mismatch problem for opposing defenders. While his spring stock sits in a good place, there are more levels to go with his recruitment, so watch out!    - - - - -    (OL) [player_tooltip player_id='1159814' first='Antonio' last='Keefer'] - Southwind   - Some of the best college upside from our #TN2027 O-line crop comes from this Memphis area big man that brings versatility up front as well as a physical, nasty approach that coaches love. Keefer is a broad shouldered, wide framed big man with long arms and the athleticism to potentially handle tackle on the next level. His stock has begun to take-off throughout this off-season where Keefer has landed offers from Memphis, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, Virginia Tech and others along with heavy interest coming from many other Power Four, D1 programs. The Jags offensive lineman could become a national recruit with continued development with his bend and lower half agility and he's not far off. You will continue to hear more and more about Keefer moving forward because his talent has the chance to be elite.    - - - - -    (OG) [player_tooltip player_id='705894' first='Kaden' last='Buchanan'] - Friendship Christian   - Buchanan began to make a name for himself on the recruiting trail last year as a sophomore but over the off-season, the Commanders big man has seen his stock blow up by adding some big time offers. At this point with his recruitment, Buchanan holds offers from Colorado, Kentucky, Liberty, Memphis and Missouri. He is receiving plenty of interest too and a lot of it is due to his overall size, girth and physical prowess from the interior of the O-line. Buchanan is a mauler with a wide base that does good work in the run game. He shows the ability to push his man and get to the second level along being a deceptive athlete that has room for growth in that area. If Buchanan can increase his agility and speed, watch his offer list expand to 20 and beyond.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/05/kbuchanan.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-1668253" style="width:253px;height:auto" /></figure>   - - - - -    (OG) [player_tooltip player_id='378854' first='Chris' last='Campbell'] - Southwind   - The Jaguars could one of the better offensive line's in the state with Keefer handling tackle and Campbell mauling in the middle. This 6 '4 wide bodied, physical guard has seen stock move into a positive direction over these off-season months by landing offers from Austin Peay, Eastern Ky, Jacksonville St., North Alabama and Southern Miss. Bigger programs are sniffing around and checking him out during the coaches on-campus tour this month and getting a good feel of his size. This is an athletic blocker that still has room for growth in this area but right now, Campbell's money is made by moving people off the line. While his stock is in a good place right now, the Jags O-lineman has plenty of development left to go that can certainly boost his recruitment over time.    - - - - -    (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='1556594' first='Lawrence' last='Britt'] - Lausanne   - One of the hottest prospects on the recruiting trail has been this Memphis area two-way prospect that is receiving a lot of attention for the offensive side of the ball. Britt is dripping with potential due his size, length combo, his playmaking abilities and breakaway speed. The Lynx junior athlete has gained tons of interest on the recruiting scene by landing offers from the likes of Arizona St., Arkansas, Auburn, Florida St., Memphis, Mississippi St., Missouri, Ole Miss, USC, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. Schools see the potential here as a playmaker that could produce at either receiver or defensive back. His stock is only growing stronger by the day, so expect to continue hearing more and more about Britt moving forward.    - - - - -    (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='1285495' first='Tae' last='Walden, Jr'] - Collierville   - Starting back in the winter, Walden, Jr began to see things pick up with his recruitment and it has only grown from there. The Dragons two-way prospect has turned into one of the most wanted prospects not only from the greater Memphis area but potentially the entire state. Walden, Jr is receiving tons of interest but so far he has landed offers from Arkansas, Florida St., Mississippi St., Missouri, Southern Miss, UNLV and Vanderbilt. A good chunk of the offers is for Walden, Jr to play receiver in college but interest is there for him to develop and play at safety as well. His size (6'2 175), length and natural athletic abilities allows him the opportunity to play either on the next level but if Walden, Jr can increase his body mass and weight, other big time programs could get involved with his recruitment.    - - - - -    Five Other Stock Risers: (QB) [player_tooltip player_id='1142902' first='Cooper' last='Newman'] - Sevier Co., (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='1103038' first='Brylan' last='Oduor'] - Blackman, (TE) [player_tooltip player_id='1316743' first='Parker' last='Keenan'] - Kirkwood, (OL) [player_tooltip player_id='1154143' first='Ben' last='Hale'] - MTCS, (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='1422977' first='Miles' last='Brown'] - Westview   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/05/lawbritt2-crop-512x337-1746475639.webp?w=512" alt="" class="wp-image-1668255" style="width:309px;height:auto" /></figure>
