Grant has a quick release, he snaps the football out of his hand and he has the arm strength to thread the needle into tight coverage windows. Smith can complete all of the throws on the route tree, he connects on the short to intermediate routes consistently and he has the arm strength to push the football deep down field with great touch. A recent offer from Texas Au0026amp;M, shows that Smith is on the radar of college programs and heading into the 2023 season after having a breakout freshman campaign, Grant has established himself as one of the top signal callers in his class.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["804454"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Osborne hits the hole like his hair is on fire, his ability to plant, cut and change gears to get north in a hurry are traits that stick out in his game. Javian sees the field with excellent vision, he sets up his blocks well and cuts off them, showing the explosion to go the distance. After rushing for over 1,000 yards and 8 touchdowns in 2022, Javian has established himself as one of the marquee running backs in the Class of 2026. Osborne has the makeup of a franchise back over at Forney and a recent offer from USC, as well as offers from Texas, SMU, Texas Tech, and TCU, show that his recruiting buzz is trending up.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["212427"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Moore plays with a nasty streak, he is physical at the point of attack, he fires off of the ball with a violent, but under control aggression and he finishes his opponents while playing through the whistle. Day'Jon has a strong, powerful punch, he plays with excellent leverage and his ability to overpower defenders are one of his strengths. At 6'4 305 pounds, Moore has a stout, but compact build and has all the makings of being on of the top offensive linemen in the Class of 2026. Get familiar with Moore, he will be highly sought after by college programs.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":3,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644f1d27d5c27"} /-->

The Class of 2026 is a strong class and there were several who made an immediate impact on their teams in 2022. These players have established themselves in their programs and have open eyes headed into the 2023 season. Here are several Class of 2026 ballers who have set the tone for this class in Texas.
