Updated 2025 Rankings: Forwards (15-6)

It's that time of year again where we do our quarterly rankings updates, and we will start with the senior class! We've had quite a while to compile our 2025 rankings over the past four years, so we had a solid list already but that doesn't mean things haven't changed with transfers and shakeups throughout the list.   We will be doing content throughout the week on new additions, biggest risers and positional rankings. Here's a look at part two of the top power forwards and centers in the senior class.   15) [player_tooltip player_id='1511636' first='Levi' last='Hamilton'] | 6'8” C | Jefferson Forest (#66 Overall)   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Hamilton is one of the most underrated players in the state, as he's been a dominant force in the Lynchburg area for years now. The 6'8” big man is a throwback style guy who uses his strength and touch with both hands to finish around the rim, he has good touch out to the elbows, he can face up and put it on the deck and he is a good rebounder and rim protector too.   14) [player_tooltip player_id='2451946' first='Tyrell' last='Beverly'] | 6'6” PF | Norcom (#57 Overall)   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Beverly is one of those prospects who would benefit greatly from a post grad season, as he is a late bloomer who plays with a high motor and is very athletic, just needs to continue to polish his skillset moving forward. While he's a little undersized at 6'6” he's a freak athlete who can finish above the rim and is a good rim protector, he runs the floor hard and thrives in transition and he makes all the little plays to help his team win.   13) [player_tooltip player_id='2571755' first='Stephen' last='Kouassi'] | 6'8” PF | Oak Hill Red (#56 Overall)   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Kouassi is one of a number of under the radar players for this Oak Hill Red team that has a very high ceiling at the next level, as he has the size and athleticism coupled with a budding skillset that is very intriguing. At 6'8” he's a big time rim protector and lob threat, he can step out on the perimeter and knock down shots to stretch the defense, he runs the floor hard and he moves his feet well defensively.   12) [player_tooltip player_id='1956068' first='Jeremiah' last='Morris'] | 6'8” C | King's Fork (#48 Overall)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/tempImageCFGgbA.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/tempImageCFGgbA.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2420570" /></a></figure>   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Morris is in the midst of a breakout senior season after developing nicely over the past few years, which included getting his body right which led to him being a dangerous mismatch with his strength and quickness. He is a good athlete who can get up and down and works well in face ups with his quick first step, he's strong and physical when he gets in the paint, he rebounds well on both ends and he still has a lot of room to develop moving forward.   11) [player_tooltip player_id='2146762' first='Jacob' last='Moore'] | 6'8” PF | Paul VI (#39 Overall)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Screen-Shot-2023-09-04-at-3.21.59-PM.png"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/09/Screen-Shot-2023-09-04-at-3.21.59-PM.png?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2147624" /></a></figure>   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Moore is the type of player that would be a star at a local public school but instead chooses to play for one of the top programs in the country, and he's another player who would benefit greatly from a post grad year. At 6'8” he's long and athletic with good ball skills for his size, he's a good passer who can put it on the deck, he can run the floor and finish above the rim and he has good touch around the rim and out to the elbows too.   10) [player_tooltip player_id='1494114' first='David' last='Miller'] | 6'7” PF | Green Run (#38 Overall)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Miller-David-CBG-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/Miller-David-CBG-scaled.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-1605058" /></a></figure>   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Miller has been one of the best players in the 757 since his freshman days at Green Run, leading them to a state tournament run as a sophomore and being named an All State selection last year, and he's one of the best available players in the area. At 6'7” while he's a tad short for his position he's extremely strong and plays like a grown man in the post, he's a mismatch with his ability to handle it and shoot it from deep and he's as consistent as they come as a double-double threat.   9) [player_tooltip player_id='2340875' first='Colin' last='Pollock'] | 6'9” C | St. Stephen's St. Agnes (#37 Overall)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/IMG_5130.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/12/IMG_5130.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2683847" /></a></figure>   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Pollock burst onto the scene last season for SSSAS and followed it up with a good summer with AKT, earning him a scholarship to Navy and he's been a very important piece for a Saints team that has been very good this season. He's a classic stretch big who shoots it very well from deep and has good range, he can attack closeouts and is a good passer on the perimeter and he's a solid offensive rebounder with good touch around the rim too.   8) [player_tooltip player_id='1494118' first='Wyatt' last='Norton'] | 6'8” C | Bishop O'Connell (#31 Overall)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/76-Wyatt-Norton-scaled.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/09/76-Wyatt-Norton-scaled.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-1604730" /></a></figure>   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Norton has dealt with a fair share of injuries since transferring to O'Connell as a junior which has stalled his recruitment, but when he's been healthy he's shown he's a legit division one big man with a ton of upside moving forward. He moves very well for a big his size and runs the floor well, he can stretch the floor with his shooting ability and can put it on the deck to attack closeouts, he's an athletic finisher above the rim and a good defender in the paint as well.   7) [player_tooltip player_id='2451923' first='Quentin' last='Morgan'] | 6'9” C | Deep Run (#30 Overall)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage54gcZz.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImage54gcZz.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2568107" /></a></figure>   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Morgan is one of the best late bloomers in the entire state, going from an intriguing project who needed a lot of work as a sophomore to a consistently productive big who is one of the best in Richmond, and still has a lot of room to improve moving forward. At 6'9” Morgan is a good athlete who has become more coordinated as he's grown into his body, and has a frame that should fill out nicely moving forward. He plays with a great motor every moment he's on the floor as he runs the floor hard and hits the glass relentlessly, he is a good rim protector and can switch on guards and he has improved his touch out to the elbows with a chance to extend it beyond the arc too.   6) [player_tooltip player_id='1494104' first='Martez' last='Harris'] | 6'9” C | Catholic (#26 Overall)   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageRxQyxV.jpg"><img src="https://prephoops.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/tempImageRxQyxV.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-2562140" /></a></figure>   <ol class="wp-block-list"></ol>   Harris spent last season at Oak Hill before returning to the 757 to join an already stacked Catholic team, and in his return he seems to have learned a lot about his game and plays to his strengths a lot more which has made him much more effective when on the floor. He's a big body who is strong in the paint and has embraced being more physical, looking to post more and getting to the line a lot more. He has tons of potential as he has touch that extends all the way to the three-point line, he can finish with both hands around the rim, he has good feet in the paint and he can rebound in and out of his area too.
