1. (RB) Jamarion Morrow Jamarion Morrow 5'10" | 185 lbs | RB Germantown | 2025 State TN – Germantown
– Possibly the hottest recruit in the state over the last two months has been this Memphis area running back and it’s not because of the volume of offers he has received but the specific ones he did obtain. Morrow has burst onto the #TN2025 recruiting charts as our current #1 running back prospect and his offers dictate that. Just over the last 40 days, Morrow has received offers from the likes of Alabama, Georgia, Maryland, Miami, Ole Miss, Oregon, Stanford, Texas, Texas A&M and others. That offer list clearly states that Morrow is wanted by some of the best in the country, which in turn makes our #1 running back ranking looks pretty good! Look for Morrow to become a nationally ranked prospect sometime in the very near future.

2. (TE) Corbin Laisure Corbin Laisure 6'5" | 225 lbs | TE Sullivan-East | 2025 State TN – Sullivan-East
– Last year as a junior, Laisure posted some exciting stats that showed the talent and upside of a potential D1, Power Four prospect and that’s start to become true as this East Tennessee product has seen his stock soar over the last month. Holding a couple of FCS offers in hand already, Laisure has seen his recruitment take off with offers over the last 40 days from Colorado, Louisville, UNLV and San Diego St. with several other power programs showing interest. Laisure is a big dude with room for more size that runs well and knows how to get open. His film should continue to generate strong interest over the next few recruiting months and watch his stock continue to rise as one of the top pass catching tight ends in the Southeast region.

3. (Ath) Shekai Mills-Knight Shekai Mills-Knight 6'1" | 210 lbs | RB Baylor | 2025 State TN – Baylor
– New to the state of Tennessee last Fall, Mills-Knight quickly became a staple name out of the Red Raiders program that you knew would become a wanted guy on the recruiting trail and that’s exactly what is happening. This native Canadian is quickly establishing himself as one of the better two-way talents from our #TN2025 class as Mills-Knight has the physical build and abilities to excel at either running back or linebacker. Power programs see that talent too as the Red Raiders rising senior has picked up recent offers from Florida, Michigan St., Miami, Ole Miss, Utah, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech and others along with several more top tier teams looking in his direction. Expect to see this guy’s offer list continue to explode over the next few months, pushing his stock into national status.

4. (LB) Austin Howard Austin Howard 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB Bartlett | 2025 State TN – Bartlett
– This Memphis linebacker hasn’t his stock really sore just yet but trust me, it’s coming!! Vanderbilt kicked the Power Four train off recently when they extended an offer and they definitely won’t be the last. Howard is a well put together young man who shows tremendous potential and upside on film as a college edge rusher with burst and speed that offensive tackles will have a problem dealing with. Arkansas St. and Marshall are Howard’s only other D1 offers at the moment but several power programs are showing interest like Cincinnati, Indiana, Michigan, Ole Miss, Stanford, Tulane and others. Look for some of the teams mentioned and more to extend offers really soon because this linebacker has some of the best upside of all prospects in our #TN2025 class.

5. (DB) Ladeadrick James Ladeadrick James 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Houston | 2025 State TN – Houston
– This time last year, nobody knew who this West Tennessee defensive back was but now he is one of the hottest prospects in the state with several high level programs in hot pursuit. James is a versatile defender that plays a variety of roles for his Mustangs team but his upside may sit best in college at safety. His size, speed combo along with his athleticism makes him an intriguing talent on the back end and college coaches are seeing that. Through the last several weeks, James has picked up offers from the likes of Houston, Kansas, James Madison, Marshall, Temple along with interest coming from multiple other top tier college programs. I don’t foresee his stock slowing down anytime soon as James is quickly establishing himself as one of the top safety prospects in the state.
Three Other Stock Risers: (OT/G) Kyle Larkin Kyle Larkin 6'6" | 280 lbs | OL Ravenwood | 2025 State TN – Ravenwood, (DL) Kyler Garcia Kyler Garcia 6'5" | 265 lbs | DL Pearl Cohn | 2025 State TN – Pearl Cohn, (DB) Kolbe Harmon Kolbe Harmon 5'10" | 180 lbs | DB Brentwood Academy | 2025 State TN – Brentwood Academy
