The 2026 class in the state of Texas is going to be a talented one to watch over the next few years. The Prep Redzone Texas class is loaded with talented prospects to watch out for this season. In this article, we are going to look at a few of the 2026 prospects to keep an eye on over the next few months.   [player_tooltip player_id='535622' first='Jerald' last='Mays']-Offensive Line-Weiss-6'3” 265-Pounds   [player_tooltip player_id='535622' first='Jerald' last='Mays'] is a versatile prospect on the offensive line. Mays has the ability to play the guard and tackle positions for Weiss. He is quick out of the stance and does a good job of getting into the opposing defensive lineman. Mays has good power for both the guard and the tackle positions. I came away impressed with his quickness and his ability to finish blocks. Mays is a prospect to watch out for over the next couple of seasons.   [player_tooltip player_id='212438' first='Rees' last='Wise']-Quarterback-Austin Westlake-6'1” 170-Pounds   The Austin Westlake signal caller is an impressive quarterback that stands out in the class of 2026. Wise displays a strong arm, that is capable of testing opposing secondaries deep. He is capable of fitting the ball into some tight windows. Wise is a quarterback that is not afraid to pull the ball down and use his legs to pick up first downs. Opposing defenses will need to account for his ability to pick up yards on the ground and escape the pocket. Wise is a quarterback to watch out for over the next few seasons.   [player_tooltip player_id='284164' first='Jaden' last='Bradford']-Defensive Line-Huntsville-5'11” 170-Pounds   Having a versatile prospect on the defensive line is never a bad thing. [player_tooltip player_id='284164' first='Jaden' last='Bradford'] can shift between tackle and edge rusher positions with little difficulty. In fact, he is extremely effective at each position. He uses his speed well to defeat blocks and get into the opposing offensive backfield. Bradford can disrupt both the running and passing offense of the opponents. He has the power to dip his should and force opposing offensive linemen backward. Bradford is a defensive lineman to watch out for from the class of 2026.   [player_tooltip player_id='452443' first='Cash' last='Gansen']-Linebacker-Clear Springs-5'11” 185-Pounds   The linebacker position is a position that can be overlooked at times. However, it is one of the most important spots on the field. [player_tooltip player_id='452443' first='Cash' last='Gansen'] does a great job of reading the play and putting himself in position to disrupt the play. Gansen uses his speed well to defeat blocks and get into the opposing offensive backfield. He is a linebacker that has the ability to drop back into coverage and defend against the pass. I look for Gansen to have big Friday night performances over the next few seasons.   [player_tooltip player_id='284170' first='Kaedyn' last='Cobbs']-Defensive Back-Guyer-6'1” 190-Pounds   [player_tooltip player_id='284170' first='Kaedyn' last='Cobbs'] has explosive speed that can terrorize opposing wide receivers. He is physical enough to bump opposing receivers off of the routes. Cobbs does a great job of making plays on the ball. Cobbs has the potential to play the cornerback or safety positions over the next few seasons. The talented Guyer prospect may also see some time at the running back spot. He is going to be a 2026 prospect that lights up Friday nights over the next couple of seasons.
