Week 1 Stock Up - Players Of The Week

Week one of the Texas High school football season has passed and the games all lived up to the common fan's expectation and hype. The week included nationally televised games and a bevy of competitive matchups that featured many skilled student-athletes. The few listed below are the ones that improved their stock the most based on their production in game one.   STOCK UP PLAYERS OF THE WEEK   Colton Vasek - Westlake High - Class of 2024   Colton is a 6'6” 230-pound senior defensive linemen that put on a show in week one. The Oklahoma commit was a mismatch in pass rush situations and finished with four QB pressures and two solo sacks. He also had six solo tackles and impressed me with the leverage that he was able to play with in the run game. He's a well-coached, fluid athlete with great range that will be fun to watch as the season progresses.

Week one is usually where the most mental errors pop up for offensive linemen but he played a clean game and noticeably had more snappiness out of his stance and did a good job keeping hand control of his defender.

The well-decorated running back who was also the 2021 district 26-6A newcomer of the year last fall, has started this season off with a bang. He rushed for 168 yards on 23 total carries for an impressive average of 7.3 yards per rush. He was decisive with his cuts and did a great job getting north and south. He helped put three touchdowns on the board and will be an integral piece to Westlake getting back to the state championship game this fall.

He is a talented athlete that put on a show in week 1. I was impressed with his patience through the hole and his ability and willingness to hit their inside zone runs down hill. He also put multiple defenders on highlights and did a good job trucking through guys when needed. He effectively followed his blocks and helped lead his squad to a dominant week one victory over The Woodlands.

Many recruiting outlets have him rated as a five-star defender and his performance on the night showed everyone why. The opposing team's Defensive Coordinator called him unblockable in a post-game Twitter space and he was undoubtedly a determining factor in his team pulling out a win on ESPN2.
