Texas and Alabama Gems To Know

Texas and Alabama Gems To Know

In this article:

Andrew Alford
Andrew Alford 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB | 2025
AL
Lucas Oakley
Lucas Oakley 6'2" | 220 lbs | ATH/LB | Left Hand | 2025
AL
<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was able to check out some nice film from some guys who were very impressive. I think that some of these guys have the talent to be some very big-time impact players next season. We are anxious to see them in some camp action. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='800902' first='Lucas' last='Oakley']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oakley is a 6-foot-2, 195-pound linebacker that has truly made his presence known on the field. Oakley is a player that knows how to find the football. He is from Brooks High School in Killen, Alabama. This young man also plays tight end on offense. I think that he is going to be a linebacker all day on the next level. Last season, he had 78 tackles and 4 sacks. He is a guy that is going to continue to grow. We could possibly see him playing on the division one level one day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Caleb Burress</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Burress is a big boy that stepped up big for his team. He plays offensive line and defensive line for his squad. Burress is a 6-foot-1, 310-pound guy that I could see playing guard on the next level. He is a heavy load to deal with on the field. Burress is a guy that I think has a chance to play division one football. I think that he could afford to slim up some to be a little quicker and faster.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Keagan Ables</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ables is a guy that put up some big numbers during his past junior season. He had 3453 passing yards and 44 touchdowns with a 61.5 completion rate. He also added another five touchdowns on the ground. This is a guy that we definitely need to be keeping up with next season. You got to know that he is a guy that definitely deserves a chance to play on the next level when he is putting up numbers like that. Ables is also a leader on the field. This guy is going to have another big season next year. I can feel it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='974922' first='Andrew' last='Alford']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alford is a quarterback that knows how-to put-up numbers. He knows how to go out the football to his receivers. This young man is a very polished quarterback. I was very impressed when I watched his film. He can make all the throws that you need a quarterback to make. Alford is a beast at escaping the pocket. When he does escape the pocket, he knows how to get the ball to the right guy. You will not see him out there making bad throws. I love the way that he knows how to look off defenders. This young man is a power five quarterback. College coaches need to be blowing his phone up. He had over 3500 passing yards, 45 touchdowns, and a 66 percent completion rate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
