Armstrong can contort his body into awkward positions to make tough catches, he's got some serious pop as an in-line blocker and has strong hands through contested matchups.   Committed to Texas A&M   [player_tooltip player_id='923423' first='Jack' last='Van Dorselaer'] 6'5" 235, Southlake Carroll   Jack takes pride in being a blocker and looks to punish defenders any chance he gets. He's loose-hipped and punches on a rise, he's got deceptive speed as a route runner & can take the top off a two-high shell. He's physical, dependable, and can generate explosive plays off simple quick game concepts.   Committed to Tennessee   [player_tooltip player_id='1420705' first='Preztynn' last='Harrison'] 6'5" 225, Mineral Wells   Harrison is electric with the football in his hands and has the wiggle of a receiver after the catch. He's got elite speed for the position, he does a good of separating late downfield and uses his frame to dominate on the 50/50 ball. He's a major weapon on the goal line and has soft hands to go up & pluck the football out of the air at its highest point.   Committed to Texas Tech   [player_tooltip player_id='1420756' first='Mason' last='Peterson'] 6'4" 225, Dickinson   Mason has the speed to get on a defender's toes in a hurry, he's got excellent concentration through traffic, and is a rugged finisher as a blocker. He can easily adjust to back shoulder throws, he can displace down defenders on his own and is rarely brought down by the first tackle attempt after the catch.   Committed to TCU   [player_tooltip player_id='205475' first='Ty' last='Rupe'], 6'7" 245, Conroe Grand Oaks   Rupe has imposing size, he's fearless venturing into the middle of the field, and uses his body to box out much smaller defenders. He's a long strider who does his best work in the intermediate part of the field and has a deep bag of releases off the line of scrimmage.   Committed to UTSA   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>   Who Could Rise Quickly?   [player_tooltip player_id='1420997' first='Wyatt' last='Herbel'] 6'3" 220, Cy-Fair   A highly productive tight end that finished last fall with eleven total touchdowns. He's an absolute menace as a blocker and is so violent at the point of attack. He's tough to shed once he clamps on and provides a major vertical presence as a receiving threat.   Committed to Houston   [player_tooltip player_id='1421206' first='Colt' last='Sparks'] 6'5" 225, Sabine   Sparks lines up at quarterback quite a bit for Sabine and is a perennial playmaker through the air and on the ground. He's got impressive speed for a guy his size, he's got sudden change of direction, he barrels through opposing tackle attempts, and can elevate to make contested catches in the red area.   Committed to Texas Tech   [player_tooltip player_id='1421307' first='Brody' last='Wilhelm'] 6'6" 220, Westlake   Brody is a gifted route runner who can be split out at x receiver and make easy work of cornerbacks. He's got natural body control, he explodes out of his cuts at the top of his routes and can generate a ton of YAC with the ball in his hands.   <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>   Who Just Missed Out?   Jacob Nye, 6'5" 225, Melissa   Nye is a natural at tracking the deep ball downfield, he can split out at just about every receiver position and understands how to eat up a defender's leverage. He's highly effective off play-action and is a catch-and-tuck, north & south runner after the reception.   [player_tooltip player_id='1269536' first='Jackson' last='Shockley'] 6'4" 220, Denton Guyer   Shockley has the contact balance to make something happen after the catch, he's shown production working all three levels of the field and gets plenty of turnover on his leg drive as a blocker. He's a high-effort guy who isn't afraid to stick his nose in there and do the dirty work.   Committed to Tulsa   Jeremiah Scoby, 6'3" 210, Dickinson   Scoby is a deceptive route runner who fights to get into a defender's blind spot and cause confusion. He's got good build-up speed, is a crafty route runner, and is quite slippery after the catch.   Committed to Bowling Green
