Rashad is ranked as the #3 power forward in the 2025 rankings. He had some inconsistencies throughout the season last year, but there is no denying his talent and skillset. He is a versatile talent who can play inside and out offensively and guard multiple positions on D. He is not your prototypical power forward who is going to bang on the inside. Still, his length, agility, and quickness make him a match-up problem for most in the state.

TJ is the #4 power forward in the 2025 rankings. He is an inside presence for his squad and is highly productive in the scoring column. He plays a physical style and constantly forces opponents to bring their A-game when matched up against him. He is a relentless competitor and flashes his athleticism on both ends of the floor.
Miller Moody Miller Moody 6'9" | PF Jasper | 2025 State AL (6’9/PF/’25/Jasper HS)

Miller is the #5 power forward in the 2025 rankings. I had a chance to catch Miller and his AAU squad a couple of weeks ago, and he continues to be a force on the inside. He clogs up the paint and makes it hard for opponents on both ends of the floor. He uses his body well to finish at the rim, and he builds a wall, forcing potential scorers off the bounce to score through, around, or over him. He has to continue working on his foot speed, as it is one important area of improvement he needs to focus on.
Evan Wilson Evan Wilson 6'8" | PF Cullman | 2025 State AL (6’8/PF/’25/ Pro One )

Evan is the #6 power forward in the 2025 rankings. He has been one of the biggest surprises this year with his play on the AAU scene. He is a lengthy and competitive power forward who, due to his size, creates a lot of mismatch problems, particularly here in the state. He has multi-dimensional tools and is showing a lot more fluidity in his movements on the low block. His footwork and his perimeter shooting are two things that I noticed this off-season, and they are areas in which he is really getting better. Look for Evan to continue developing his overall game as he stays in the lab this off-season.
Sam Sweat Sam Sweat 6'7" | PF Mars Hill | 2025 State AL (6’7/PF/’24/Mars Hill)
Sam is the #7 power forward in the 2025 rankings. He is a lengthy power forward with good positional size. In the final four, he really showed his defensive versatility and ability to guard multiple positions. He has scoring ability, but he doesn’t force the action. He simply plays the game the right way and makes winning plays throughout the game.
Ke’von Walker (6’6/PF|C/’25/Huffman)

Ke’von is the #8 power forward in the 2025 rankings. There is a lot of excitement surrounding Ke’von in the Vikings program, and Coach Ward believes he can be a very good player and be the interior compliment to a solid backcourt group he has coming back next year. Ke’von is very athletic, and despite still developing offensively, he scores well around the rim. His athleticism is really seen on the defensive end of the floor and on the glass. If he puts in the necessary work this off-season, he will be a key contributing piece to the Vikings’ success next year.
