Kelden Ryan Kelden Ryan 6'2" | 185 lbs | QB All Saints | 2025 State TX can do it all and is a OC’s dream. There is no wrong play call when it comes to Ryan. He is a magician at extending plays and making something out of nothing. Ryan is extremely base blocking or zone blocking friendly when it comes to his offensive line and knows how to position his body within the pocket to make both book-end tackles correct more times than not. If linebackers prove to be undisciplined, he will make the entire defense pay greatly with a massive scamper through the middle or around the edges. Ryan has the arm talent to make every throw and do so on the run. Two words to describe him would simply be instant offense.
Kevin Sperry Kevin Sperry 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB Denton Guyer | 2025 TX I PRO/DUAL THREAT QUARTERBACK •6’1″ | 190 LBS I CLASS OF 2025 @ ROCK HILL | FRISCO , TX

Kevin Sperry Kevin Sperry 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB Denton Guyer | 2025 TX shows a great IQ for the game and enough athleticism to keep the second level of the defenses he faces honest.

His style of play translates very well to the next level and look for him to continue his ascention within the rankings.
Sawyer Anderson Sawyer Anderson 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Parish Episcopal | 2025 State TX I PRO STYLE QUARTERBACK •6’0″ | 180 LBS I CLASS OF 2025 @ PARISH EPISCOPAL SCHOOL | DALLAS, TX
Sawyer Anderson Sawyer Anderson 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB Parish Episcopal | 2025 State TX is a very distinct type of quarterback. He comes with a package of great burst in his straight-line speed and a commanding rifle of an arm. He doesn’t show a great deal of agility but if he takes off and you take the wrong angle as a defender, he’s going to hit his head on the goalpost for the score. He steps into every throw and puts a little pepper on it for good measure to make sure the ball reaches his target before the window closes. He has good outside should placement on his sideline 9 routes and back-shoulder intermediate calls. Anderson will be an x-factor for Parish Episcopal this year and they look forward to potentially riding his skillset into the playoffs and beyond.
Eli Morcos I PRO STYLE QUARTERBACK •6’1″ | 190 LBS I CLASS OF 2025 @ LAKE CREEK | MONTGOMERY, TX
Eli Morcos has been thoroughly impressive taking over as the QB1 for Lake Creek High School. The 6’3 205-pound sophomore shows off a rocket arm, the consistent ability to look off safeties to open up backside throwing windows, touch on deep corner routes, back shoulder passes, and a balanced demeanor that seemed to give him a “next play” mentality beyond all game scenarios. Morcos is a touchdown-throwing machine. Morcos will be taking over a 10-0 program next season at Lake Creek High School in Montgomery, Texas. Head coach Pat Kennedy has given the ball to #4 because this kid is a flat-out dude! Morcos checks all the boxes including registering a 4.0 GPA.
Ty Hawkins Ty Hawkins 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB San Antonio Johnson | 2025 State TX I DUAL THREAT QUARTERBACK •6’0″ | 175 LBS I CLASS OF 2025 @ CLAUDIA TAYLOR (LADY BIRD) JOHNSON | SAN ANTONIO, TX
Ty Hawkins Ty Hawkins 6'0" | 185 lbs | QB San Antonio Johnson | 2025 State TX is a pocket passer who only runs when completely necessary. The problem is; when he is forced to run, defenders sometimes wished that he stayed in the pocket to pass! He is equally talented as a skilled passer and scrambler. Hawkins scans the field extremely well and plays with a great deal of poise. He never seems to be in a rush. He plays the game at his pace and simply moves the chains and digits on the scoreboard. Hawkins can be listed as a pro-style or dual threat quarterback which serves his program well. Look for him to become a household name when his recruitment places him against the other top tear gunslingers in his class and state.
