2025 Kentucky Future Stars – Projected 7th Grade Offensive Line

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>*This is strictly a Prep Redzone Next projection. The coaches of the Kentucky Future Stars determine positions.*</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This year's Kentucky Future Stars saw over 400 athletes show up in four different areas around the state, in an effort to be selected for the #Brotherhood of the program. Each year, on the posted roster, the Kentucky Future Stars combine the linemen together and do not specify Offensive Line or Defensive Line. On this year's 7th Grade roster, there are a whopping 22 linemen listed. After going through all 22, in Part 1 below, take a look at the 10 prospects that&nbsp;<strong>Prep Redzone Next</strong>&nbsp;projects as the Offensive Linemen.&nbsp;However, again, the Kentucky Future Stars coaching staff will decide who plays where.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1688657"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6848411567c74"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Is now a two-time selection for the Kentucky Future Stars</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Selected to Region 4 team for the KYMSFA Battle of the Regions</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the only a handful of true Interior Offensive Linemen on this team, look for Boroviak to be in contention for the starting Center position.

The Offensive Tackle is listed at 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds as of this write up--though he could be even heavier than that. The Letcher County big man also plays basketball for the Cavaliers and needs to continue to work on his feet and conditioning. I expect he'll be in the rotation at Right Offensive Tackle for the 7th Grade Kentucky Future Stars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1688685"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6848411567d2e"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>First time selection for the Kentucky Future Stars</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Multi-sport athlete </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This will be my first time getting an opportunity to see Caudill play live.

Coming in 30 pounds heavier than last year, Frazier time in the weight room is paying off. He has the requisite size and strength to provide versatility up front by playing Guard and/or Tackle.

He comes with elite size for a prospect with another year of pre-high school ball still to come, at 6-foot-4 and 290-pounds. He was a clear standout in this game last year, helped the Maroons win a KYMSFA 7th Grade State Championship during the regular season and most-recently was to the <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/06/prztn-nxt-all-camp-team-superlatives/">PRZ Next All-Camp Team</a> for his performance at our Nashville event.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1306180"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6848411567e05"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Is now a two-time selection for the Kentucky Future Stars</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Selected to Region 4 team for the KYMSFA Battle of the Regions</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another member of the 2024 KYMSFA 7th Grade State Championship-winning Northern Pulaski Maroons, [player_tooltip player_id='1306180' first='Brady' last='Parker'] returns to the Kentucky Future Stars again this year. In last June's show down against Tennessee, Parker earned a nod as a Top Performer on both sides of the ball--showing his value. This year he returns an inch taller and 25 pounds heavier, which should be fun to watch. In a recent development, while he will obviously be playing for the seventh-grade team, Parker has reclassed to 2031 and will now have two years of pre-high school ball left. I fully expect him to be a starter at either Tackle or Guard in the game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689156"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6848946d97ca6"} --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>First time selection for the Kentucky Future Stars</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Participated in the Catholic Schools Athletic Association of Louisville</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Being selected for the 7th Grade Kentucky Future Stars, this is the first I'm hearing about [player_tooltip player_id='1689156' first='Ethan' last='Sparks'].

The Jefferson County native has an impressive frame with long limbs and the requisite size to become something special. In March 2025 he started at Right Tackle for Region 2 in the KYMSFA Battle of the Regions, helping them claim the crown this year. There's plenty of time between now and high school, but Stephens looks like he could also go on to become a Defensive End.

One inch taller and 15 pounds heavier than a year ago, he's an impressive kid. He can play both sides of the ball well, finishing defensively with 7.5 sacks, 33 tackles and 13 TFL this season. However, I see him as one of the Staring Guards on this 7th Grade Kentucky Future Stars team.
