Jacob Miller, Penney OT/TE 6'8" 240 - One of the great stories of the 2025 season is the rise of this big time athlete from a Class 1 small school getting the attention of power four schools and verbally committing to Big 10 Northwestern University. Miller has great size and athleticism along with his versatility of being able to play offense and defense. He's also a talented basketball player, but colleges such as Northwestern and in-state Mizzou got word about him and started recruiting him. The Wildcats see him as an OT/TE prospect for their system.   [player_tooltip player_id='849688' first='Rocco' last='Marriott'], Platte City QB 6'4" 212 - The super talented Marriott decided to shut his recruitment down and commit to James Madison before the start of his senior season after getting frustrated with the process and P4 schools taking a wait and see approach. After having a monster senior so far where he has thrown for over 2,200 yards and 36 touchdowns while completing over 80% of his passes, Rocco has landed offers from the like of West Virginia and UCF, who he took an official visit to last weekend. He also has other P4 schools showing interest and trying to get into his recruitment.   [player_tooltip player_id='1260478' first='Braiden' last='Stevens'], Platte County WR 5'10" 165 - Marriott's top speedy target this season has also seen the bigger schools entering the race for his services. Stevens is a sure-handed, big play receiver with great speed who has averaged over 21 yards per catch this year for over 600 yards on 30 catches. Braiden is also a dangerous return man who uses his quick twitch elusiveness along with his speed. He also landed a West Virginia offer recently like his QB and will be taking an official visit there this weekend. Other schools are attempting to enter the picture and it will be interesting to see who else may offer.   [player_tooltip player_id='1129721' first='Jaishon' last='White'], Chillicothe DE 6'5" 240 - Is an athletic big who has also been a standout basketball player for years. The senior has been a standout tight end and defensive end for the Hornets the last four years, and recently has seen his stock rise with a preferred walk on offer from the home state Missouri Tigers who like him as a defensive end in their program. White is among the state leaders in sacks this year. He's possesses a quick first step, speed and good strength. His potential is on the high side and you can see why the Tigers would like to see how he continues to develop.   -
