Tyler Agee Tyler Agee 6'2" | SG Hueytown | 2025 State AL (6’2/Wing/’25/Hueytown HS)

Tyler makes his debut in the 2025 rankings at #59. Tyler is a multi-level scorer who brings consistent and constant production. He is not the caliber player who needs the ball in his hands to impact the game, but ensuring he gets touches in each possession often leads to good results for his squad. He can easily be considered the glue guy for his squad, as he is solid on both ends of the floor. He makes everyone around him better and often covers up his team’s mistakes.
Caleb Lightford Caleb Lightford 6'1" | PG Sparkman | 2025 State AL (6’1/PG/’25/Sparkman HS)

X/Titter: @Caleb_Lightford
Caleb makes his debut in the 2025 rankings at #60. He is coming behind his older brother, Calen, who was one of the top guards in the 2022 class. Caleb continues to emerge out of the shadows of his brother and into his own identity. He is a floor general who understands the game well and does a good job orchestrating the offense. He is an adept passer with good court vision. He sets the table for his teammates and knows how to get the ball to them so they can be successful. He also has the ability to knock down the open jump shot and create plays off the bounce when his scoring is needed.
Cameron Hill Cameron Hill 6'1" | PG Theodore | 2025 State AL (6’1/PG/’25/Theodore HS)

X/Twitter: @Cameron15109422
Cameron makes his debut in the 2025 rankings at #63. Cam is a two-way player who shows his playmaking skills on offense and his instinctive nature on defense. He thrives in the open court and is a tough finisher off the bounce. In the half-court, he shows his PG IQ and ability to orchestrate the offense. He is a heady PG who is either setting the table for his teammates or firing on all cylinders as a scorer. He is key to all components of his squad’s game plan.
Dezzmon Johnson Dezzmon Johnson 6'8" | C Ramsay | 2025 State AL (6’8/C/’25/Ramsay HS)
IG: w3zzyyy
X/Twitter: @DezzmonJohnson
Dezzmon makes his debut in the 2025 rankings at #68. Dezz has been the man in the middle early in the season for the Rams. He has shown his ability to be a deterrent rim protector and a high-rate rebounder. He has good positional size at the Center position, and his length causes a lot of problems. He finishes well around the rim as he attacks from either the face-up or his back-to-basket post-up. Many say that #68 is way too low for Dezz, and you will get no argument from me, so we will see where Dezz finds himself once we update the rankings in the spring, as right now, he is on a nice trajectory of being a dominant interior presence.
Sam Tolbert Sam Tolbert 6'0" | SG Pelham | 2025 State AL (6’0/SG/’25/Pelham HS)
IG: Whois_st1
X/Twitter: @SamuelTolbert22
Sam makes his debut in the 2025 rankings at #69. Sam is the Panthers glue guy, as he does a little bit of everything well for his squad. If there was one thing I had to say that stands out in Sam’s game, it would be his ability to knock down the trey ball. He has a nice stroke from deep and can quickly heat up and cause a lot of problems for defenses. He has a nose for the ball as he often wins 50/50 balls, which adds to his consistent play of making winning plays even though they are not always scoring plays.
Eric Winters Eric Winters 6'2" | SF Enterprise | 2025 State AL (6’2/SF/’25/Enterprise HS)
Eric makes his debut in the 2025 rankings at #70. Despite being 6’2, Eric is a force to reckon with on the inside. He attacks the rim with force and will confront length and shot blockers. He plays a physical style of basketball, which most players have difficulty adjusting to, which gives Eric an advantage on both ends of the floor. He is very active on the glass as he establishes good position and goes after the ball with great determination. Watching how he appears undersized but scores the rock so well in the paint is interesting.
