Outstanding Houston High School Athletes (Defense 2022 Season)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2022 High School football season has now wrapped up. Throughout this season I've seen a ton of phenomenal athletes from the city of Houston. In this article, I will be covering standout athletes on defense from the city of Houston.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Cy-Ranch Mustangs [player_tooltip player_id='259528' first='Ashton' last='Porter'] Sr 6'3 255 lbs </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='259528' first='Ashton' last='Porter'] is a slim and quick defensive end with tons of power to boot. Ashton couldn't be stopped one drive Ashton was being blocked by two offensive linemen and one tight-end and they still had trouble containing him. Ashton proved that he is well deserving of being ranked top 50 in the state of Texas and a candidate for the Under-Armour All-American Game. When I interviewed [player_tooltip player_id='259528' first='Ashton' last='Porter'] it was clear that he has a lot of pride in his teammates and love for his family.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>College Offers: The University of Oregon (Committed) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Paetow Panthers [player_tooltip player_id='60868' first='David' last='Hicks'] Jr DE Sr 6'4 270 lbs </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>David Hick is the ideal size for a defensive end and he is quick off the ball, agile, versatile, and possesses great athletic ability. David has a rather unique high school football career playing for three different high schools; Morton Ranch High School, Allen High School, and finished at Paetow High School. However, no matter where David suits up he is still a perfect defensive end. David is great at attacking the edge, using his power and speed to break through any obstacle in his way to make the play. David's strength is incredible every play he would drive the offensive linemen back into the backfield with minimum effort and chase down the running back or pressure the quarterback making him rush a lot of passes. David recently played in both The Under-Armour All-American Game and The Polynesian All-American Game.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>College Offers: The University of Texas A&amp;M (Committed)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022 Stats: 10 Games 40 total tackles and 5 sacks </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>North Shore Mustangs [player_tooltip player_id='136182' first='Jacoby' last='Davis'] CB Sr 5'11 175 lbs </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I can name several qualities [player_tooltip player_id='136182' first='Jacoby' last='Davis'] has, but one trait that standouts are that he is a phenomenal athlete. North Shore played man coverage the whole game and Jacoby was always on his man allowing no separation between them. Although, North Shore lost one of the main reasons why they were able to compete was because of Jacoby. Jacoby was able to prevent two touchdowns by deflecting passes and even caught an interception. I noticed Jacoby's outstanding talents last season and he has only improved since then and has become one of the top cornerbacks in Texas.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>College Offers: The University of Kansas (Committed)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Shadow Creek Sharks [player_tooltip player_id='149649' first='Maurice' last='Williams'] II S Jr 6'1 190 lbs </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maurice William II is one of the best linebackers in not only Houston but in Texas. Maurice is great at attacking he has impeccable tackling form and is great at coverage during pass plays. Maurice has deflected numerous passes throughout the season and once a wide receiver caught a pass he stop them dead in their tracks. Maurice throughout this season has made a ton of tackles, caught interceptions, causing and recovered fumbles and I'm looking forward to seeing his development in his senior season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>College Offers: Louisiana State University (Committed) </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2022 Stats: 11 Games 43 total tackles, 2 interceptions, 3 fumble recoveries, 1 fumble caused</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Katy Tigers [player_tooltip player_id='258583' first='Johnathan' last='Hall'] S Sr 6'2 205 lbs </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='258583' first='Johnathan' last='Hall'] has a lot of stand-out traits as free safety and strong safety. Johnathan is always aggressive, quick, and decisive, and has impeccable tackling form. Johnathan as the safety would move up and be up close and involved in the action. Johnathan has made numerous amount of tackles whether it was run or pass play Johnathan was there to make the stop. Johnathan will make a great addition to The University of Utah's defense.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>College Offers: The University of Utah (Committed)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
