Dazzling Gems: Class of ’25

In this article, we take a look at some of the young talent throughout the state that are sure to turn heads in the years to come.  All of these prospects played sub-varsity as freshmen, but have incredibly bright futures on the gridiron. <strong><em>TE [player_tooltip player_id='923403' first='Keiundre' last='Johnson'] – 6'4</em></strong><strong><em>″</em></strong><strong><em> 205 / Terrell HS </em></strong><strong><em>—</em></strong><strong><em> @Keiundre_</em></strong> The young tight end played sub-varsity as a freshman, but already sports an offer from Texas Tech.  Explosive athletic ability leaps off the screen when you watch Johnson's highlight tape.  There is no denying the large catch radius he possesses, but perhaps the most impressive thing about the phenom prospect is the electrifying vertical speed he displays as a route runner. FBS coaches would be wise to add the young Tiger to their recruiting boards.  He will be one of the state's top recruits in the class of 2025. <strong><em>QB Javyn Jessie – 6'0</em></strong><strong><em>″</em></strong><strong><em> 180 / Navasota HS — @TheJavyn1</em></strong> Poised to be the starting quarterback for the Rattlers in years to come, Jessie had a great offseason that included a very impressive 7v7 showing.  He excels at the deep ball, has a knack for the big play, and throws a tight spiral that really pops out of his hand.  Things look bright for the gifted signal-caller. <strong><em>QB Luke Arrington – 6'4</em></strong><strong><em>″</em></strong><strong><em> 180 / Lubbock Monterey HS </em></strong><strong><em>—</em></strong><strong><em> @LukeArrington3</em></strong> Arrington is a young up-and-comer with a bright future ahead of him.  Played sub-varsity as a freshman, but flashed the kind of upside you look for in a prospect.  He has a strong arm and puts some zip on his throws over the middle, and does a really nice job of throwing his receivers open on deep balls. For a youngster with the tools that Arrington has, I would keep an eye on the High Plains in years to come. <strong><em>WR Tyler Johnson – 5'11</em></strong><strong><em>″</em></strong><strong><em> 160 / Harker Heights HS — @TylerTJJohnson1</em></strong> Another sensational prospect that played sub-varsity as a freshman, Johnson flashes the skills college coaches covet in an offensive weapon.  Impressive ball skills change of direction, and some ability as a technical route runner, he looks poised to have a big sophomore campaign for the Knights.  Recorded an eye-catching 9'8" broad jump at Baylor recently. Already holds the Harker Heights school record in the 300m hurdles.  He should see his first offer at some point this season. <strong><em>ATH Jabreon Moore – 5'10</em></strong><strong><em>″</em></strong><strong><em> 170 / Brenham HS </em></strong><strong><em>—</em></strong><strong><em> @Jabreon_3</em></strong> Jabreon Moore is electric.  Played sub-varsity as a freshman, but will surely make a name for himself this season.  The vertical speed and high-point ability are off the charts.  When he lines up in the secondary, shows an uncanny ability to read quarterbacks and recognize routes.  Impressed at the Texas camp last month, and all signs point to him continuing to climb up recruiting boards in the years to come.
