Class 4A Sleeper Senior Prospects

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Everybody knows who the top players in the state are but how about some guys that sit under the radar but have broken through with strong senior years to place themselves on the college map? We got you covered here with multiple prospects that have caught our eye.</h2>     (RB) [player_tooltip player_id='1134310' first='Jaidon' last='Hurst'] - Springfield   - Hurst went into the 2025 season already known around the Mid-Tennessee region but I feel like he has pushed his stock further with a strong start to his senior year. The Yellow Jackets senior running back is a well balanced ball carrier that appears to have added more speed to his bag along with continuing to enhance his body and physicality. Hurst runs hard and competes for every yard. He shows nice lean to his running style along with the lower base power to plow through would-be tacklers. I do think Hurst can get a tad quicker and more shifty but I like how he runs with purpose. I'm interested to see how he finishes out the season because I can see Hurst getting some FCS looks with continued strong play the remainder of the 2025 football year.    - - - - -    (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='1895555' first='Anden' last='Quinn'] - Lakeland Prep   - One of the more productive wideouts from the 4A ranks this year has been Quinn and when you turn on his film, you can see why. The Lions senior prospect has improved his game in multiple ways from adding more speed to increasing his body mass while furthering his skill set at receiver. So far in the 2025 season, Quinn has produced nearly 780 yards receiving with 7 touchdowns while averaging 14.1 yards per reception. He has done a good job of getting off the line and finding open holes in defenses and bringing in receptions using his outstanding hands and ball skills. The way Quinn is built, his game works best coming out of the slot. Knowing how recruiting goes, the Lions receiver may have to start his college career on the low level but Quinn has certainly improved and taken his stock higher with several games left in the season to push it even further.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/09/aquinn-crop-600x394-1759701881.jpeg?w=600" alt="" class="wp-image-1937629" style="width:294px;height:auto" /></figure>   - - - - -    (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='1719145' first='Lamarion' last='Wyke'] - Hardin Co.    - His Tigers team is struggling this season but Wyke is having a breakout senior year and a season that may place him into the college ranks. Standing 5 '10 165 pounds, the Tigers wideout is a versatile piece that can line up in several areas on offense with his biggest upside coming out of the slot. Looking through his senior film, Wyke displays the ability to find open spaces due to his mature route running while also sporting a wide based frame that takes up space. This West Tennessee product also has strong hands with the ability to make tough, contested catches. Based on his physical makeup, I could see Wyke adding more size and developing into a running back down the road. Wyke is sitting way under the radar currently but could be a nice late addition to someone's recruiting class.    - - - - -    (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='1937546' first='LaDamion' last='Hunter'] - Pearl Cohn   - Hunter has missed time this year due to injury but when he's been on the field, the Firebirds senior receiver has been dynamite with the ability to hit the big play. Undersized but explosive, Hunter is a quick footed pass catcher that works well in the deep game while displaying a skill set to become a “gadget” style playmaker on the collegiate stage. So far this season, the Firebirds playmaker has shown the ability to work deep and bring in tough, contested catches. Hunter does a lot of his work out of the slot and that's where I envision him playing in college. He does need to continue adding more body mass while developing his route tree further but the raw athleticism is already in place. It's an uphill battle right now in recruiting for Hunter but I can see him signing eventually and developing much further on the college level.    - - - - -    (Ath) [player_tooltip player_id='1937544' first='DaJuan' last='Harris'] - Gibbs   - Standing 6'1 170 plus pounds, Harris is a versatile prospect that shows on film the ability to develop at multiple positions in college with his best upside coming at either receiver or safety. The Eagles senior playmaker sits under the radar at the moment but is having a breakthrough senior year that should help him get into the college ranks. What I like about Harris is high football intelligence and his ability to make big plays. Playing at receiver, Harris displays good route running, strong hands and deceptive speed that can be enhanced further over time. Over on defense, added speed will dictate things on this side of the ball as I can see Harris developing at either safety or the star position. I do see a rise in our Fall ranking for Harris. He has put forth a strong senior year that has boosted his stock and hopefully placed him on the radar of college coaches.    - - - - -    (OG/C) [player_tooltip player_id='344895' first='Colton' last='Moore'] - Alcoa   - I have been following along with Moore for several years now, especially with him being a performer at our PRZTN Showcases and right now, he is playing the best football of his career. The Tornadoes senior has filled out further with his body while continuing to learn the game and it shows on film. Moore is mainly handling center duties for his offense and that's where I see him playing in college. He is a good athlete that gets out of his stance well and finds his man, looking to knock him off the ball. Moore brings a lot of value to the O-line as he could develop into a multi-year starter at center while also having the ability to handle either guard spot as well. Over the coming years, Moore will need to add in more weight but the frame is there to take it on. This senior season has been good for the Tornadoes O-lineman as he has certainly improved and boosted his college stock.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/10/coltmoore.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1937630" style="width:253px;height:auto" /></figure>   - - - - -    (DL) [player_tooltip player_id='1405051' first='Hunter' last='Broyles'] - White Co.    - Coming from a small area in Mid-Tennessee, Broyles has had to fight an uphill battle to get on the college radar but I think his senior performance thus far is definitely helping his cause. When you flip on his senior highlights, you see that Broyles has filled out his frame further while increasing his get-off and speed. His football intelligence has increased as well. Broyles does a good job of getting off the ball quickly, into the creases and bursting his way into the backfield. The way his body is built, I foresee the Warriors senior fitting into multiple positions in college from a 3-4 defensive end to a potential 3-tech on the interior. Broyles isn't a blazer around the edge but he's smart. He knows how to bend and dip while using his hands to get off blocks. The Warriors senior also plays with a high motor, constantly pursuing the ball. I really like how Broyles has developed this year and positioned himself better to get into the college ranks and eventually contribute as a potential starter.    - - - - -    (Edge) [player_tooltip player_id='1629965' first='Carter' last='Cowart'] - Alcoa   - Out of all the prospects inside this article, Cowart may present the most upside of them all. This East Tennessee talent immediately looks the part when stepping off the bus with his 6'3 230 pound frame along with extremely long arms and the body to pack on more weight in the future. So far through this 2025 season, Cowart is having his coming out party where he is providing a constant pass rush from the Tornadoes defensive line. Coming off the snap fast is something Cowart does well along with showing solid bend and dip that can improve further over time. He also shows nice pursuit with an active motor that doesn't stop till the play is over. You can tell Cowart is still growing into his body and into his game, so there is a lot of potential left to be filled with the underrated pass rusher. I would not be surprised to see some FCS schools look at him harder as we get deeper into the winter recruiting season.    - - - - -    (S) [player_tooltip player_id='1635017' first='Ryan' last='Burney'] - Hixson   - Ranked as a safety but has shown flashes this year of potential at receiver, Burney has pushed his game to another level this Fall by taking on a leadership role and excelling on both sides of the ball. The Wildcats coaching staff is leaning heavily upon Burney this season to be a playmaker and a top guy and so far, he is performing very well. Burney looks to have added more weight to his frame, which is a great thing but he has maintained his speed and maybe increased it as well. The Wildcats senior competes, plays hard, giving max effort on every play. He finds the ball at safety and attacks without hesitation. Burney does make an intriguing case for himself to be looked at for receiver but in the long run, I like his upside best safety where he can work in the box while also being a ball hawk in coverage.    <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/07/rburney.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1738952" style="width:412px;height:auto" /></figure>   - - - - -    (DB) [player_tooltip player_id='1937550' first='Tayshawn' last='Jones'] - Marshall Co.    - Jones has been a tackling machine this Fall for this Tigers defense and a consistent performer week in and week out. New to the state of Tennessee, Jones has made a big impression thus far with his instinctive nose for the ball and willingness to tackle. This is an aggressive performer that diagnoses the play early then attacks without hesitation. What helps the cause is the fact that Jones can run and it shows on film. The Tigers defensive back closes fast, showing a great initial burst while tackling with physicality. The one big thing that could be holding him back when it comes to college interest is his weight. Jones does have a skinny frame that needs a lot of mass and size added before he could become a major contributor on the college level. I do like the upside however with Jones and the long term impact he could have in the defensive backfield.    - - - - -   Five More Sleepers: (S) Zack Wallin - Elizabethton, (Edge) [player_tooltip player_id='1268388' first='Jarvis' last='Glenn'] - Kirby, (OL) Kooper Dossett - Springfield, (QB) [player_tooltip player_id='491549' first='Noah' last='Potter'] - Stone Memorial, (LB/S) [player_tooltip player_id='1668086' first='Kymani' last='White'] - Jackson NS   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/10/lamwye.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1937631" style="width:271px;height:auto" /></figure>
