Texas’ Top Incoming Freshman: Part III

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're here with part three of our 2028 series! The prospects listed showed out for their youth teams last season and showed an abundance of potential on tape. Not before long, they will likely be names shining under the lights on Friday night. Keep an eye on them as they continue to develop over the next four years.</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>OL: Jamarios Canton, 6'5" 240, Central</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big man that moves like a gazelle, has heavy hands, and overwhelms defensive linemen at the point of attack with size and raw strength. He's a natural knee bender with good weight on him and has really developed from a technical standpoint over the last few months. I think his upside is through the roof. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>RB: Jack Farhat, 5'10" 180, Brock</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A slasher with plenty of speed, violent cuts that lead to no deceleration, and excellent balance. Jack is an explosive rusher with swivelly hips, he can add some toughness at times between the tackles and is rarely brought down by the first tackle attempt. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>OL: Jayden Thompson, 6'5" 275, Lovejoy</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There's not a ton of tape on Thompson, but in the small sample size, you can see the size, raw athleticism, and footwork that will only continue to develop over the next few years. This kid already looks like a division one offensive tackle from a size perspective. If he continues to develop from a technical standpoint, adds strength in the weight room, and shows an edge on tape, you're looking at a very high-level type of prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>QB: Brody Moore, 5'7" 135, Crandall</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brody only stands 5'7" but the kid has great arm talent and is a feathery deep ball thrower at this stage of his career. He's calm through chaos, shows impressive improvisational skills when the pocket collapses, and is quite elusive in space. He's still growing but has shown a ton of tools early in his career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>ATH: [player_tooltip player_id='1162294' first='Knox' last='Gage'], 5'11" 165, Gunter</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gage plays with a ton of moxy, he's got excellent footwork at the quarterback position, shows a quick setup &amp; is a load to bring down when he takes off &amp; runs. At the safety position, he's a thumper who plays with a downhill mentality and shows great instincts &amp; ball skills. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>WR: Rodric Lucas Jr., 5'9" 160, Shadow Creek</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An electric prospect with the ball in his hands that has natural contact balance, vision, and the ability to stop &amp; start on a dime. He's a hands catcher who can work back to the football midflight, he's got the body control to adjust to underthrows, and is a big-time playmaker who can break a game wide-open at a moment's notice. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><em><strong>Other Names to Watch</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>ATH: Caden Graham, 5'11" 200, N/A</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>WR: Camden Singleton, 6'2" 175, Midland Legacy</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>DL: [player_tooltip player_id='1825892' first='Carson' last='Mansfield'], 6'6" 265, Waxahachie</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
