The NEXT Lone Star State Standouts – 4.26

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>From little league all the way through high school, the roots of Texas football have become a religion. This state has produced some of the best talent at the college and professional levels for years. For a majority to the premier athletes who have come out of Texas and into the next level, their journey to the top started at the middle school level. Having said that, here are some of the Lone Star State's top athletes who are about to become some of the biggest names in high school football at both a state and national level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["801679"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='801679' first='Miylen' last='Colley'] might be one of the more polished offensive linemen that I have seen in this class. Standing at 5'11, Colley is beginning to grow into the frame of a top-tier offensive lineman. With most of his time being spent at tackle, Miylen moves smoothly through his pass protection slide and can easily maintain position on the pass rusher. Miylen has also shown to be an absolute weapon in the run game. His explosion and strength are made evident as he opens up running lanes at the line of scrimmage and drives defensive linemen several yards downfield. Just from what I have seen, Colley is a very exciting offensive line prospect to keep an eye on for the future. If he continues to play at this level, expect him to stack up some big time offers in the future.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["423370"],"_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":"San Antonio running back [player_tooltip player_id='423370' first='Andre' last='Jackson'] is another highly athletic running back to take a look at. The 5'10 ball carrier moves with incredible speed and flow out of the backfield. Andre is a ruthless runner with the ball in his hands and has no problem getting physical at the point of attack. On the field, you will often find him barreling over defenders as he makes his way to the end zone. Not only is Andre elite coming out of the backfield, but he is also a solid route runner. With his smooth change of direction capability and ball skills, Andre can make plays running routes out of the backfield or split out. Andre's duality on the field allows him to play several roles on the offensive side of the field. If he continues to play like this, he is going to end up being one of the major offensive producers for any football program he joins in the future.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["801754"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='801754' first='Case' last='Benoit'] is a dual-sport athlete out of Bastrop, Texas that has recently caught my eye. Case is 6'1 and splits time between tight and defensive end during the football season, and tears up basketball courts throughout the winter. On the football field, Case is not your conventional #2 tight end who always aligns in the slot if he is split out, you will sometimes find him aligned as the outside receiver. This should come as no surprise when you see the pure athleticism and ball skills that Case has. Case is one of those fearless route runners who are willing to attack the middle of the field and can take chunks out of the defense when he is targeted. Overall, I am very impressed with what Case has to offer. As he continues to grow through the game, look for him to start stacking up some big time offers.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["801849"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='801849' first='Peyton' last='Miller'] is another Texas offensive lineman that I am u003cstrongu003everyu003c/strongu003e excited about in the class of 2027. The 6'3 Northern Texas product comes to us from Anna, Texas, and moves VERY well for his sizeu002du002deven with his size 16 feet. Among the many things that sold me on this kid, the one that stood out most to me was a clip of him running on the rugby pitch. With his awesome display of speed and power, Peyton has proven explosion and a level of nastiness that is hard to come by. In the trenches, Peyton has the drive to move people all over the field. Peyton also has the instinct to throw downfield blocks and spring the ball into the end zone. Overall, Peyton is an offensive line coach's dream. Texas High School football better watch out for Miller when he is out on the field.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":801909,"_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Joseph Marsh","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Joseph Marsh, who also goes by JP, is a Dallas-Area quarterback that has been showing out as of late. As more of a pocket-passing style quarterbacku002du002dcomplete with the nickname of u0022dot em upu0022, Marsh commands the field with his precision throughs and immaculate touch on the ball. Joseph has shown to handle high-pressure situations well as he helps move his offense down the field effectively when the clock is ticking down. One of the most impressive things that I have seen from Marsh is the variety of arm angles that he can throw with. Joseph has shown to be able to adjust his throwing motion to get the ball down without any defensive disruption without compensating timing or accuracy. With everything that I have seen from Marsh, I am a firm believer that the looks he is getting from North Texas is only the beginning of his recruiting journey.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-644838929208f"} /-->
