Debuting inside our “Top 500” at 55th overall, Bailey is one of the biggest rankings risers from either side of the ball that has the ability to handle multiple positions on the collegiate playing stage. The Knights senior athlete burst on the scene this Fall from the running back position where Bailey put up some big games but will his future in college be in the backfield? It’s possible but with a great physical body at 6’3 200 pounds and natural athletic abilities, Bailey could develop at receiver, linebacker or safety on the next level. This guy is one of the more intriguing talents we have from the #TN2025 class that definitely earned his spot within our Top 100.

Going into the 2024 season, many people didn’t know too much about this Nashville area prospect but after five games, Bailey has made his presence known in a big way where Power Four football programs are showing interest. A big reason for the college interest is the natural athleticism that comes from Bailey and his long term upside on the next level. Through the first five games, the Knights senior offensive weapon has been near unstoppable, putting up silly production while establishing himself as the team’s go-to guy. Bailey is mainly handling running back duties for his Knights team and he’s doing a good job but will that be his position once he reaches the college game?
This is an ultra athletic guy with a well built physique that can run! Bailey is a speedster that could develop at running back, receiver, linebacker or safety in college. He’s just handling the role asked of him this year and Bailey’s excelling at a high level. Coaches have taken notice of this guy and are paying attention as this season rolls along. The kind of numbers that Bailey is putting up right now might put him in consideration for Mr. Football by season’s end but his team must put a few more wins on the board for that to happen. Regardless, Bailey has taken advantage of his senior year as he is definitely a rankings riser that will continue to see his stock rise over the coming months, where I believe this guy will sign with a FCS or D1 program.
