<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today is part II looking at some of the top sleepers in 4A. These guys were standouts for their respective programs and have shown plenty of ability on tape. Remember that some of the prospects listed may have high-level potential, while others could be steals for someone on the lower levels of college football. Regardless of their level of play, each one has ability and could make an impact at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, If you have someone you think I need to see, please DM them to me on Twitter at @hsfbscout!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>ATH: [player_tooltip player_id='1173745' first='Brock' last='Temple'] 6'5" 220, Aubrey, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A talented two-player with size, athleticism, flexibility, and plenty of slip at the point of attack. He retraces in his rush lane if he's too far up the field, he keeps his shoulders square to the line if left unblocked, and has the motor to chase quarterbacks down from behind.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>OL: [player_tooltip player_id='831921' first='Zaydyn' last='Dimas'] 6'4" 290, Celina, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A guard prospect that plays with a chip on his shoulder and can generate knockdowns with a simple strike. He stays tight on opposing double teams aiming for the near low hip, he keeps his eyes up and has the body control to work off his block and lock on to second-level defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>WR: Cristian Trickett, 6' 170, Panther Creek, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A highly productive wideout that totaled 1,401 yards receiving and 24 touchdowns, while averaging 23.1 yards per catch in 2023. On tape, he's a deceptive route runner with the speed to run by you, natural deep ball tracking ability, and quick feet to defeat press coverage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>RB: Dylan Brauchle, 5'11" 175, Lake Dallas, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dylan has the vision to navigate through heavy traffic, he's got soft hands out of the backfield and his feet never stop chugging after contact. He's got the speed to run away from danger, exceptional burst once he spots a crease, and will lower his shoulder when the time calls for it. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>RB: Aldren Gill, 5'11" 185, Paris, 2026</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gill is an extremely explosive prospect who can hit a seam and be off to the races. He's got tight cuts, runs with purpose, isn't afraid to pull a stiff arm out of his back pocket, and is a ferocious blocker when split outside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>CB: Malik Johnson, 6'2" 175, Paris, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson has great size for the cornerback position, he's got long arms and has the ball skills to step in front of a pass &amp; make a play on the football. Johnson has good recovery speed, he plays through the receiver's hands when not in phase and is a physical tackler when asked to come up and provide run support. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
