Continue ReadingThe University of Texas has been catching fire in AZ lately, landing two top prospects in the state while being at the top of the recruiting conversation for another. Christian Clark Christian Clark 6'0" | 195 lbs | ATH Mountain Pointe | 2024 State AZ announced his commitment to Texas today with standout Desert Mountain DB Santana Wilson Santana Wilson 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Desert Mountain | 2024 State AZ locking in to Texas a few days ago. With two big name players committing to Texas, you have to wonder if this could potentially get a commitment out of Desert Edge standout Deshawn Warner Deshawn Warner 6'4" | 225 lbs | DL Desert Edge | 2024 State AZ , who listed Texas in his top 4 and recently took a trip to Austin.

Clark has been the fastest rising prospect in the state of Arizona within the past year, and for good reason. He’s checked all the boxes as a future P5 starter even before his transfer to Mountain Pointe when he was still at Desert Vista. Vision, Instincts, burst, speed, physicality, positional awareness, ability to be a threat in the receiving game, you name it and Clark has it. He’s an electric player that brings a different type of energy to the field as he just possesses that “it” factor. Texas is clearly developing a history of landing the best RB talent that AZ has to offer with current Atlanta Falcon Bijan Robinson starting that trend a while back, as Clark is the next and probably not the last big time AZ talent to land at Texas.

Wilson is another kid who was a fast rising prospect and a huge grab for that Texas defense. Wilson held over 20 offers and narrowed down his top 8 to Texas, Arizona State, Washington, Oklahoma, Baylor, Miami, Tennessee, and Texas A&M on June 8th before ultimately committing to Texas on June 17th. Wilson possesses numerous intangibles including excellent twitch and burst with the strong ability to hit top speed quickly and go from 0-100 in a split second.

Warner is a highly touted pass rusher and absolute menace on the edges for Desert Edge. Extremely disruptive and quick off the edge and a clear speed+athleticism mismatch against OT’s. He remains uncommitted but recently announced his top 4 school with Texas, Washington, Oregon State, and Kansas all in the mix. He is set to announce his commitment on July 1st on IG live, and you can bet every high school football media personality will be tuning in.
