Jayven Anderson Jayven Anderson 6'1" | 200 lbs | DB North Shore | 2023 State TX had an amazing showcase throughout his senior season. Jayven shows everyone why is a 4-star athlete by providing great coverage the entire game but was also a great striker and tackler. On run plays, Jayven would come up and properly wrap up the running back and bring him down. This was all accomplished due to Jayven’s quickness and speed. Jayven has shown why North Shore’s defense is one of the best in the nation and being one of the main contributors on the secondary made him a stellar safety.

Shadow Creek Sharks Maurice Williams Maurice Williams 6'1" | 185 lbs | DB Shadow Creek | 2024 State TX II Jr 6’1 190 lbs
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 recovering fumbles and I’m looking forward to seeing his development in his senior season.

Paetow Panthers Christian Hurd Sr 5’10 190 lbs
Christian Hurd is an amazing defensive back/safety. Christian can play either position by providing acceptable coverage and knows how to properly cover in a zone defense. Even if the receiver caught the pass Christian would instantly bring him down allowing little positive gain. Christian was able to read the opposing offense’s formation permitting him to stop runs or passes plays. In one play Christian had a great read and positioning preventing a touchdown pass and intercepting the pass running it down for a 91-yard pick-six touchdown.
