Stock rising guards from 2025 Rankings Update Part 2

Our 2025 rankings update saw some seniors make moves up the list after having tremendous winters at the high school level, in this article we'll take a look at seven guards who moved up our list this past week during the latest update.    Johnson has exploded for some huge scoring games this winter as Thomas Worthington has been scrappy by winning four of their last six games. One of the top scorers in the OCC, Johnson can certainly fill it up on nights when he has it rolling. With the amount of offensive juice Johnson has, he's a guy I could see carving out a really nice college career down the road.     One of the top players in the east district, Conkle has gone from a Prep Hoops Circuit standout in the summer to a school record holder in the winter. Coshocton has been a team I've been following closely as the four team race for the MVL championship heats up with Maysville, Tri Valley and John Glenn all sitting at 11-1 in league play, Coshocton is just behind at 10-2. After breaking Coshocton's all-time scoring record playing for his dad, Conkle now sits just 35 points behind his dad's county scoring record he set at Ridgewood. A tremendous high school talent who has the work ethic and talent to excel at the college level, we'll be following Conkle's journey over the next four years.     I've been really impressed with the growth Lewis has made as a senior, developing as a passer and producing more across the board. Lewis went from 7.7 points and 1.6 assists to 14.6 points and 3.6 assists a night as a senior. I've always been impressed by his athleticism and defensive ability, and it's no surprise he's top 5 in steals in the GMC. I'll be curious if Lewis runs the primary ball handling position at the college level like he has for Fairfield this season but regardless of if he's played on or off the ball, he can provide value at both ends of the court.     The Styers name has led Holy Name recently and Drew has had a strong senior season for the Green Wave. A high motor wing guard who plays hard each time I watch him on the court, Styers is just productive. It's interesting watching Styers attack the basket as a driver as he prefers to finish with his left hand at the rim despite being a right-handed shooter. Styers went over the 1,000 point mark for his career in January and could have a strong career at the small college level.     One of the earlier non Division I commits in Ohio's 2025 class, Jackson has been a key piece for Garfield Heights the past two seasons. A 3-and-D shooting guard, Jackson has added some more ball handling confidence this season and flashing more on ball ability than what I saw as a Junior. The Bulldogs are squarely in the mix for the state title in Division III and they'll need their seniors to step up in key moments.     The intangibles Ellis brings to the court are off the charts as few players play with the heart he does on both ends. You won't find many on-ball defenders that work like Ellis does and he does a nice job playing off the Greenberg twins offensively as a shooter. With the motor Ellis plays at, it's hard for me to see him not earning minutes at the college level.     One of the more under the radar scorers from central Ohio, Woloshan can get a bucket on the perimeter. While the team success hasn't been where Woloshan would like after helping his team win a district last season, his overall offensive production is impressive to watch. A name for regional small college programs to know.
