Continue ReadingThe Class of 2026 is set to hit the field in 2023 as a class that is building up momentum around the state of Texas for having Difference Makers who change the game. As the updated rankings for the Class of 2026 are set to drop, we spotlight several players who when they step on the field change gameplans for their opponents.
Osborne is a home run threat that lines up in the backfield and puts fear in defenses on Friday nights. Javian runs with power, he has nifty, calm feet, he shows patience in the hole and he uses his superb vision to read his blocks extremely well. Osborne has the speed to separate from defenses at second level to make a house call from any distance on the football field. He is a Difference Maker when he steps on the field and college programs have already extenders offers to Osborne as he heads into 2023 as one of the elite players in the state of Texas. Osborne torched defenses his freshman season, rushing for 1,064 yards and 8 touchdowns and comes back ready to roll in the 2023 season.

Highlights
Caudill is one of the most technically sound linemen in the Class of 2026 in the State of Texas and he is a Difference Maker for the Grapevine Mustangs up front offensively. Hunter plays with excellent leverage, he has a stiff, powerful punch, when he locks in on his opponent he gets control early and he is one of the best finishers in the state. Caudill has clean footwork, he has flexible hips and he has the quickness, combined with the speed to reach the second tier of the defense and make blocks downfield. In pass protection his footwork is clean, he gets into his kickslide quickly, he uses his powerful punch to stymie defenders at the point of attack and he takes pride in delivering pancake blocks. Hunter has picked up plenty of interest from collegiate programs, this summer he saw plenty of action at camps around the country and this has elevated his profile on the recruiting trail. Caudill is a veteran starter on the Grapevine offensive line after starting as a freshman and will lead the charge up front for the Mustangs in 2023.
