<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're back in part two of our District Four sleeper series. District Four is loaded with talent, so much so that we had to split it into two separate articles. Remember, that some of the prospects listed have FBS-level potential, while others could be steals for someone on the lower levels of college football. Regardless of their level of play, each guy has potential for 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><strong>Keller Timber Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>LB: Logan Summers, 6' 195, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Summers is somewhat of a hybrid, he can play both strong safety and outside linebacker. He's got the closing speed to track ball carriers down from behind, his breaks are compact with no wasted steps and he will use his quickness to defeat blocks out on the perimeter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><br>Northwest</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>OL: Caleb Morman, 6'5" 290, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Caleb has excellent size for the position, he can displace down defenders and has quality body control as a second-level blocker. He's pretty flexible and moves fairly well for a man his size. I think he needs to show he can get consistent turnover on his leg drive and finish blocks. If he can, the offers could be coming.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Kobey Wall, 5'10" 180, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A vertical threat out of the slot with excellent concentration on shot plays and well-trained hands to defeat press coverage. He shows strong hands through contested catches, he can turn on the breaks &amp; decelerate with no wasted steps and has some wiggle after the catch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><br>Eaton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>DB: Ben Self, 6'1" 185, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On tape, Self has terrific ball skills, he climbs the ladder to attack the football at its highest point and he can cover a ton of ground from his high safety position. He's competitive when the ball is in the air, he plays through the man when trailing, and can provide late run support.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>WR: Talan Holmes, 6'2" 170, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talan's got fairly long strides to go with good build-up speed. He's a well-oiled route runner who can generate plenty of separation on called double moves. He's got outstanding burst at the top of his route and takes pride in perimeter blocking through the whistle. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>OL: Tristan Gable, 6'3" 277, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I love the aggression this young man plays with. He looks to finish every block as a knockdown and has the grip strength to lock on once engaged. He needs to work on maintaining knee drive after initial contact, but I do like his overall upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><br>[player_tooltip player_id='1420652' first='Byron' last='Nelson']</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>WR: [player_tooltip player_id='432373' first='Ezra' last='Malamura'] 6' 180, 2025</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A pure hands catcher that can fully extend his wingspan to make difficult catches. He's a physical runner after the catch that will lower his shoulder and barrel through opposing tacklers. He's highly effective on back shoulder throws and will snag the football &amp; use his body to shield himself between he and the defender. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>TE: [player_tooltip player_id='1645335' first='Parker' last='Almanza'], 6'3" 215, 202</em>6</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Parker can work all three levels of the field, he can generate YAC with strength and sheer will &amp; has excellent hands in traffic. As a ball carrier, his feet never stop once contacted and he uses his quickness &amp; frame to provide match-up issues down in the redzone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Southlake Carroll</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>QB: [player_tooltip player_id='210049' first='Angelo' last='Renda'] 6' 180, 2026</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A dynamic athlete with 10.8 100-meter speed, a compact release and pinpoint accuracy to go with it. He's got outstanding vision as a ball carrier, the ability to improvise when protection breaks down, and controlled footwork within the pocket. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>LB: Marcus Brouse, 6' 220, 2026</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marcus has a lightning-quick trigger, the lateral agility to defeat blocks, and steady body control for tough open-field tackles. He goes where the ball goes, has quality reaction skills, and can fill between the tackles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
