Who Making Noise Across the Lone Star State

<p>Texas is loaded with talent, and every week, new names continue to make their presence known across the Lone Star State. From big-time performances to players stepping up when their teams need them most, these athletes have been putting together the kind of showings that deserve attention. Let's take a look at some of the players who have been making noise and showing why they should be on the radar.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Calvin is normally making plays at wide receiver, but he has stepped into the quarterback role when his team needed him most. Despite playing a position that isn't his usual spot, Calvin has found ways to keep the offense moving, making plays with his arm and legs while picking up important yards to move the chains. His willingness to take on a bigger role has given his team another option on offense and he continues to show he can make things happen when his number is called.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Will is a 2030 offensive lineman already getting varsity snaps, giving him valuable experience against older competition. He does a good job getting into his blocks, using his frame to create running lanes and giving the offense room to work. Will plays with a good base and does a nice job staying engaged once he gets his hands on a defender. Getting these reps early in his high school career should only help him continue to develop as he takes on tougher competition.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/2030WillDavis/status/2099225316145156222?s=20 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">CJ has been making plays from the safety spot since the start of the season, showing up in the run game while also making his mark in coverage. This past weekend against Waco Midway, CJ came through when his team needed him most, coming up with the game-winning interception to help secure the 39-34 victory. He finished the game with 12 tackles, a PBU and the late INT, putting together another big showing for a player who continues to find ways to impact the game from the back end.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CJRogers2028/status/2098936188031631737?s=20 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Kingston is a wide receiver who can turn a simple catch into a big play once the ball is in his hands. He does a good job finding space after the catch, making defenders miss and picking up extra yards downfield. His ability to create after the catch gives the offense another way to generate explosive plays, especially when he gets the ball in space.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/K1ngstonJames3/status/2099132242043813933?s=20 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">Cameron has put together a strong first three games, already showing up all over the stat sheet with 27 tackles and 7 tackles for loss.

Jayshawn can make things happen as both a receiver and a ball carrier, giving his offense another weapon wherever he lines up. Once the ball is in his hands, he has the ability to create yards and turn routine touches into bigger plays.

Through the early stretch, he has completed 18-of-25 passes for 305 yards and three touchdowns, showing his ability to move the offense through the air and make the right throws when opportunities open up. With district play starting next week, Ty has already built some strong momentum and will look to carry that production into the next stage of the season.</p>    <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TySnellQB1/status/2098838717808939473?s=20 </div></figure>    <p class="text-gray-700">I got the chance to see [player_tooltip player_id='2225447' first='Tyler' last='Shaw'] in person against Southlake last weekend, and one thing that stood out was the way he plays the position with heart.

Rayne was around the action all night, creating turnovers, setting up scoring opportunities and making plays in critical moments.
