Underrated Seniors Entering the Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The weekend is officially over and we are back breaking down some talented prospects from the Lone Star State. Today, I wanted to look at some underrated 2025s entering their senior seasons. As a whole, this group is underrecruited, but I believe they're going to shine this fall and should be on more college's radars.</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><strong>TE: Kade Cross, 6'3" 215, Benbrook</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kade can line up at wide receiver or tight end and produce explosive plays. He's got outstanding ball skills and body control. He has shown that he can contort his body through awkward positions to adjust &amp; make tough catches. He's hard to bring down after the catch, he can go up &amp; get the football and has really good build-up speed for a tight end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>DB: Adrian Sanchez, 6' 165, Glen Rose</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sanchez shows great range on tape, he can go up, high-point the football, and generate interceptions. He's a patient center fielder that explodes out of his breaks and drives on the football. He's got good read-and-react skills and can bait quarterbacks into poor throws.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>RB: [player_tooltip player_id='698209' first='Luke' last='Thompson'] 5'10" 195, Sanger</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a powerful runner between the tackles that can get north and south, lower his shoulder, and explode through arm tackle attempts. He runs with good forward body lean, shows soft hands out of the backfield, and subtle yet extremely effective change of direction in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>ATH: Brady Carson, 6'2" 190, Van Alstyne</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Carson has outstanding vision in traffic, he has the burst to kick it into top gear &amp; be off to the races, and can outrun defenders with an angle. He's creative after the catch, with plenty of wiggle, and can cutback across the grain for extended YAC. He's also a playmaker at the cornerback position that can stride for stride with the best of them.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>DB: Garren James, 6'2" 180, Sunnyvale</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A long instinctive cornerback that plays a confident brand of football and can force turnovers in the passing game. He drives through the target in man coverage, accelerates out of his breaks, and isn't afraid to get dirty as a tackler.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>WR: Joshua McDill, 6'2" 190, Sunnyvale</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McDill is physical against press coverage and can use his frame to body up defenders. He's explosive at the top of his route &amp; can easily separate from a defender. He shows quick hands to snatch &amp; tuck to the football and knows how to set up a defender and get him to open his hips before cutting underneath him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
