WR Dion Green – 6’3″ 190 / Victoria West HS — @DionGreen22
1,651 yards and 22 TDs as a Senior
Dion is a true X at 6’3″ 190 who can go up and make tough catches in traffic. Nice speed and can make things happen after the catch. He’s a special talent who averaged 150 ypg this season. Also lined up at RB a bit. He’ll be a very nice pickup for a D2 program looking for a perimeter playmaker.
He’s got the frame to easily get up to 210. I could see a move to RB in Dion’s future. Any way you look at it, this young man is a massive steal this late in the recruiting process.
He has been receiving some D2 interest as of late. No offers yet.

DE Jeffrey Shavers – 6’4″ 255 / Carrollton Creekview HS — @Jeffrey_Shavers
Jeffrey is an extremely raw 4-3 DE who’s just starting to scratch the surface of the player he’ll become. He was an instrumental part of Creekview’s amazing turnaround in 2021, racking up 60 tackles and pressuring the QB a total of 12 times en route to picking up 1st Team All-District honors. He needs to develop some more explosiveness, but once he does, there’s no telling how good he’ll be.
Senior Season Highlights – Jeff Shavers highlights – Hudl
OT Tashaun Pennington – 6’6″ 275 / Alief Taylor HS — @Tazhaun75
Tashaun is a road-grader who dominates at the point of attack in the run game. Pass protection needs some fine-tuning, but he’s got the stuff to develop into a very good Right Tackle for a D3 program.
Senior Year Highlight – Tashaun Pennington highlights – Hudl
QB David Hopkins – 6’2″ 205 / Mansfield Summit HS — @3kDave
David racked up 2,500 yards and 33 TDs in his final season at Summit. He capped off an amazing HS career by leading the Jaguars to the State Semifinals for the 2nd year in a row.
If you want a guy you can build your program around, look no further. D Hop, as his teammates call him, is a program-changer.

RB DJ Feaster – 5’10” 180 / Waskom HS — @DJisland3
DJ just led the perennial powerhouse Wildcats to the State Semifinals, capping off a 1,300-yard, 26 TD season.
He clocks in at 4.36 in the 40-yard dash, and with a simple click onto his highlight film, you will see the game-changing speed he possesses. Feaster currently has 0 offers, but I expect that to change quickly, once word gets out about this small-town gem.
