School: Christian Brothers

Highlights

#61 Marcus Moore Marcus Moore Marcus Moore 5'11" | PG Christian Brothers | 2025 State TN (Christian Brothers)

Good for multiple steals per game. Marcus is a quick point guard at 5-foot-10.

Kingston Goodwin

State: Tennessee
School: Germantown

Highlights

#62 Kingston Goodwin Kingston Goodwin 6'4" | SF Germantown | 2025 State TN (FACS) can really play. Ten points and ten rebounds. Ten points and eleven rebounds. Those are common games for Kingston. He could be a 14p-12r guy this year without blinking an eye. KG needs to be a college wing to have the high value we attributed to him with the Top 65 ranking of #62. Power forward/center is the place he plays for FACS, but he is nimble enough to make the transition beyond high school. Handle might be a concern.

FACS Head Coach Dee Wilkes said Kingston has been working it all summer. "He is actually a good shooter (already)," shared Coach Wilkes.

Tarecous Stevens

State: Tennessee
School: Fayette Ware

Highlights

#63 Tarecous Stevens Tarecous Stevens Tarecous Stevens 6'6" | PF Fayette Ware | 2025 State TN (Fayette Ware)

Now listed at 6'6.5" by the team, Tarecous Stevens Tarecous Stevens Tarecous Stevens 6'6" | PF Fayette Ware | 2025 State TN is a bouncy, athletic player. He is so far from his peak, meaning his potential appears very strong. And yet he is quite raw with the dribble and sometimes drifts from games without touches. FW is a deep, deep team and many of the guards are score-first in their brain. It works mostly, but Stevens can really grow into a more dominant role with more trust from his teammates.

Stevens is a freshly minted Class of 2025 “rankee” thanks to his size (6-foot-6), athleticism, defending. Tarecous plays with long arms and decent defensive instincts. Unlike most of the players on this list, Stevens defends bigs and taller wings. He is not a guard.

State: Tennessee
School: Rossville Christian Academy
Club: TNBC Elite

Highlights

#64 Fredrick Motley Fredrick Motley Fredrick Motley 6'0" | PG Rossville Christian Academy | 2025 State TN (Rossville Christian Academy) is a creator and scorer. Good shooting touch though his release point can come out a little low, not much. His handle is average always, to above average in spurts. Needs to get even better attacking with his left hand. Finishes well in the lane. Improving explosion when he gets into his layups should be a priority. He can make a move or two with his back to the basket. Strong shoulders.

Jaylen Pompey

State: Tennessee
School: Knox Webb
Club: Pro One

Highlights

#65 Jaylen Pompey Jaylen Pompey Jaylen Pompey 5'9" | PG Knox Webb | 2025 State TN (Knox Webb)

An undersized guard Jaylen was dressing varsity early for a proud, constantly successful Knox Webb program. Very skilled. He can do basically everything with some level of smoothness. Tremendous on-ball defender. Quick feet. Does not force shots. Strong lower body.

High-academic.
