Freshman Phenoms: DFW Offensive Rookies

Immediate impacts were flying across the state from the Class of 2029. From offense to defense, the freshmen made their mark on the 2025 season statewide. One specific topic that deserves attention is the offensive outburst from the rookie class in the DFW region. As we continue to recap an electric season, here are six youngsters who put up big-time introductory production.    One of the most dynamic freshman gunslingers in the nation, Lucero was electric and efficient in year one for the state champion Panthers. He launches the ball with a stellar combination of accuracy and velocity at all levels of the field. He thrives at finishing over the middle of the field through contact in the pocket. Logan can also flash some sneaky dual-threat ability, boasting great instincts and some serious short-area quickness. Lucero stacked up an incredibly impressive freshman campaign, totaling over 2,700 yards, 27 TDs, and a mere 3 interceptions. With offers from schools such as SMU, TCU, and Utah, we can expect a long and successful career from Lucero and the Panthers.      An explosive tailback who thrives on initial quickness and top-end speed, Seldon absolutely burst onto the scene in his first season with the Panthers. He showcases elite burst through the line of scrimmage, followed by 4.4 speed to outrun the second and third levels. Treyce also displays very impressive vision and patience for a freshman. He has rapid and intentional footwork at all levels of the field, complementing his speed beautifully. The scary thing is, Treyce is still (as every young RB) raw as a runner. With over 900 total yards and 10 touchdowns on the season, opposing defenses should be terrified to face a further developed Seldon in 2026. With offers from UNLV and UTSA so far, watch out for the Panthers' star to skyrocket across recruiting boards.      One of the most productive offensive playmakers across the state, regardless of position, Cooper provided highlight plays all season as a WR, RB, and QB. "Sip" was a dynamite stick for the Lions offense, whether he was catching, carrying, or delivering the football. As a receiver, he displays excellent hands and a massive catch radius thanks to his athleticism and balance control. With the football in his arms, he is explosive with dynamic all-around speed and great lateral change of direction. And oh yeah, he also can launch the ball down the seams or at the boundaries. Cooper produced a historically versatile freshman season, totaling over 2,167 yards and 25 touchdowns spread between the three positions. Already holding offers from schools such as Ohio State, Georgia, and Miami, Sip looks to be a premier blue-chip weapon in the '29 class.      The star-studded Eagles were gifted another young phenom in Williams, who was one of the most dynamic freshmen in the country this season. As he also showcases in the return game, Zach has elite traits after the catch, boasting explosive acceleration and filthy change of direction. He is a versatile gadget who can make defenders miss no matter how he gets the football. In a legendary freshman campaign, Williams totaled over 1,900 scrimmage yards along with 17 total TDs. Expect the Eagles' explosive weapon to become a national star soon, as he already holds offers from schools such as Ole Miss, BYU, and Kentucky.      A magnificent route runner with stellar footwork and little wasted movement, Houston emerged as a star playmaker for the Coyotes in his rookie year. He excels at breaking down at the top of his routes and exploding out of his breaks. For a young receiver, he also has a great feel for finding the tight windows in zone coverage. He then utilizes his long frame and strong hands to reel in contested catches throughout a wide catch radius. Cor'Mond totaled 500 yards and 7 TDs this season and is expected to see his role and production grow immensely in 2026. He has received an offer from UTSA.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/thaG1ft/status/1989586872243294606?s=20 </div></figure>
