The big uglies--- the buffet killers, these guys never get the glory but they fight every down in the trenches like a heavyweight match. They never get half of the credit due when their team wins and they never end up in the headlines for stacking up a bunch of pancake blocks. Mmmmm who doesn’t love a good pancake block? Well, Prep Redzone sure does admire these big fellows. So much so our staff has worked diligently to put together a list of Texas’s top prospects still available at this moment.
