to rush for over 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns. Means is strong and physical at the point of attack showing consistent push on film while tallying several pancakes throughout his game tapes. He also showed he has the athleticism to pull frequently in their scheme and was a key reason for their rushing success this season.

during his senior season after his impressive performance at the PRZ WV Combine earlier this year. He’s answered the call and is putting some good things on film that should have colleges following closely this year.
The heavyweight wrestler is looking the part on the football field as a mauling pulling guard for the Patriots. He’s helped pave the way for an impressive rushing attack that saw teammate

had a very good performance at our combine event back in May where he earned OL Top Performer honors as one of the five best big men in attendance in a talented group. That’s exactly what we wanted to see from him before placing him in our rankings, and Means now ranks among the Top 25 offensive linemen in the state for the 2025 class. He’ll have the potential to improve that ranking even further with more available game film from his senior season, but Means looked the part in person at multiple camps we’ve attended this off-season. He’s bordering on that D2/D3 college prospect projection right now with the potential to earn some scholarship offers with a good senior season and film to prove it.
Means will be a steal if he ends up at the D3 level with the possibility of wrestling in college as well which has aided his football development and will benefit him going into his final year.

was a bit of an unknown coming into the Combine due to limited film available but quickly made himself known while on his way to earning an OL Top Performer spot. We had a good feeling that Means would show us a lot more at the event than we were able to see on film, and he answered our questions emphatically. His wrestling background helps him a ton on the football field, and Means was also able to show us some quality athleticism and good footwork to pair with his leverage ability and strength from his time on the mat.
Means opened a lot of eyes during the camp including ours and the college coaches in attendance. His performance will be reflected in our next 2025 rankings update later in the summer.

to make himself known with a limited sample size of junior highlights available right now. The 6’3 250 rising senior just wrapped up a successful wrestling season where he picked up his 100th career win before his senior year. We’ll be watching Means closely as we believe he’s capable of being ranked inside of our Top 150 but need to see more from him before placing him there. His wrestling background should greatly benefit his performance in 1-on-1s at the combine, and Means could end up being a surprise top performer with a strong showing. Our question for him will just be can he prove the hunch we have about his potential and show us he deserves to be talked about among the state’s best big men in the 2025 class? If he can, Means’ ranking is sure to reflect as such in the summer update.

is a raw football prospect with a quality wrestling background who flashed potential and upside as a junior for the Patriots last season. He has a very limited junior highlight tape which makes it difficult to give a fair evaluation, but Means has the size and ability to develop into a scholarship-level OL at the next level. He’ll likely have some wrestling offers to choose from and ultimately may choose that sport in college, but could also play football if he chooses to. The 6’3 250 junior showed good feet last season with the ideal size to play guard in college. His wrestling background could benefit his development heading into his senior season and although limited highlights, Means showed the willingness to be physical with apparent strength that he can build on. Means makes our state Watch List but is currently ranked as the #21 OL in the 2025 class based on potential and upside alone but could move in either direction after next season depending on his available film.
