<p>DJ Bailey<em> </em>I 2024 I DUAL QB I 5'10 170 I DESOTO HS</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>DJ Bailey is a gadget dual-threat signal caller for Desoto high school. The Sam Houston State commit's name is making waves after he dismantled the Texas powerhouse defense of Duncanville with his arm and legs. Bailey displayed poise, the ability to audible through pre-snap reads, extend plays, throw on the run, and function from within the tackle boxes amid relentless pressure. Scrambling was a secondary option to commanding the offensive scheme for Bailey. Look for him to lead the Desoto program deep in this year's playoff picture. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='286997' first='Byron' last='Washington'] I 2025 I OL I 6'8 380 I DESOTO HS</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='286997' first='Byron' last='Washington'] is a Goliath of a man-child. DJ Bailey is in good hands like Allstate when it comes to the protection Washington provides. Still unranked, Washington plays with an edge and mean streak against defensive ends and linebackers alike. Unranked, yet he's been manhandling ranked opponents in the great state of Texas at 6'8 380 pounds. Did I mention that he will be back next season to do it all over again? Watch out for the giant out of Dallas. </p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='413193' first='Tice' last='Williams'] I 2024 I DB I 6'2 190 I CONROE HS</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>[player_tooltip player_id='413193' first='Tice' last='Williams'] is a 4-star Texas State commit that is showing why he is a dude on the backend for Conroe high school. He showed in the first round of the playoffs against the Westfield Mustangs a great understanding of scheme and personnel. Williams was the quarterback of the secondary and could be seen lining the entire backend up along with coaching the linebackers with his outstanding eye for detail. On top of his smarts Williams was a sideline-to-sideline tackler who voided the Mustang passing attack. Additionally, he finished the contest with two blocked field goals as well. </p>

<p>DRAMEKO GREEN I 2025 I RB I 6'0 190 I CONROE HS</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Drameko Green has been on a tear since returning from a fractured ankle averaging just under 200 yards rushing and 50 receiving per contest. Green is a "refuse to go down" type of runner. He will never be seen going down on the first hit or by one tackler. He has been reported as being high on the Texas State and Houston radars. I predict based off of production and the eye test that Green will come back for his senior season as no less than a 4-star running back in the state of Texas. </p>
