ALL PURPOSE BACK •5’10” | 170 LBS I CLASS OF 2024 @ HIGHTOWER | MISSOURI CITY, TX
Jeremy Payne Jeremy Payne 5'10" | 170 lbs | RB Fort Bend Hightower | 2024 State TX was nothing short of stellar in his junior season at Hightower. Payne was a do it all gadget back who possessed the ability to run between the tackles with lead/power calls, execute the stretch run and toss, maneuver with amazing elusiveness on screen plays, and even extend out to the slot. In fact, that’s where some predict that he may transition to on Saturdays due to his great hands and ability to run the route tree. Stock is definitely on the rise….

WEAKSIDE DEFENSIVE END •6’4″ | 220 LBS ICLASS OF 2024 @ ALLEN | ALLEN, TX
The Dallas metroplex has produced many great pass rushers in history’s past and here we have yet another in Zina Umeozulu Zina Umeozulu 6'4" | 230 lbs | DL Allen | 2024 State TX . The first thing you’ll see on tape is an intentional motor. You can tell from play number one that Zina takes his job serious and doesn’t play to the drills he’s taught but on the contrary, he makes the drills he practices submit to his will and intentions. The kid is big with a big motor and doesn’t allow himself to get reached often. Look for him to have multiple sacks in his senior season and shoot up the boards for scouts.
WIDE RECEIVER •6’3″ | 170 LBS ICLASS OF 2024 @ BROWNSBORO | BROWNSBORO, TX
Gekyle Baker Gekyle Baker 6'2" | 170 lbs | WR Brownsboro | 2025 State TX is a smooth reliable playmaker for Brownsboro’s program. He possesses great special awareness and body control in and out of breaks. He is sufficient with his snap down technique and arm drive out of breaks. This is key for a taller receiver who most plays is being covered by a defensive back with leverage underneath his frame. He has certified hands and completes the big catches with great hand eye coordination.
WIDE RECEIVER •6’1″ | 170 LBS ICLASS OF 2024 @ CLEAR LAKE | HOUSTON, TX
Clear Lakes Hunter Moddon Hunter Moddon 6'1" | 170 lbs | WR Clear Lake | 2024 State TX has an assured arrogance to his game. He doesn’t allow anyone to get the one up on him. The word I would describe him with is “responder”. You won’t find too many plays were Moddon is allowing a defender, or a scheme get the best of him. He’s a very aggressive receiver with exceptional speed to height ratio. If Moddon continues his trajectory he is going to be a problem again next season.
