Hall will be playing for the N.O. Dolphins and he currently holds well over 20 D1 offers. He's rated nationally as a top 50 player in the country's 2026 class. All the heavy hitters are looking to land Hall. He has offers from Georgia, LSU, Oregon, Texas and USC among many others. LSU fans are hoping to keep the New Orleans native close to home but Hall still has two more years of high school ball. As far as true next level prospects go, Hall is arguably the best of the best.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["688431"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Checking in from DFW Pride is Hebron 2025 hybrid defender [player_tooltip player_id='688431' first='Bo' last='Onu'] and he's been rolling on the recruiting trail recently. Onu enjoyed a visit to Oklahoma State over the weekend and the Cowboys offered Onu back in September. Onu is closing in on 20 D1 offers and among the notables, in addition to the Cowboys are Arizona, Nebraska and SMU, who is gaining some momentum as these teams look to land the Hebron playmaker. Onu is your typical hybrid defender and will give opponents problems because he's physical enough to be a linebacker and quick enough to be a defensive back. Want to see that versatility this weekend.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["509564"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"The first of two marquee prospects from Texas TAP is 20227 running back [player_tooltip player_id='509564' first='Jakoby' last='Dixon'] out of Brenham. Dixon was on our radar before he entered high school and he lived up to the hype as a freshman. He's already considered one of the best freshman running backs in Texas and that opinion might start branching out to the region and inevitably the country. Dixon has a handful of D1 offers already and he's just scratching the surface on what he'll be as a prospect. Despite 7v7 being known mostly for quarterbacks, receivers and defensive backs, we'll see quite a few running backs that will be playing on Saturdays in the future.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["710073"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"There is no doubt that Louisiana has some talent coming over to Texas this weekend. Another example of that is 2025 running back [player_tooltip player_id='710073' first='James' last='Simon'] as he suits up for Bootleggers North on Saturday and Sunday. The Shreveport standout was a star last season for his high school team, carrying them to a state championship. Simon is also considered one of the top 2025 backs in the nation. He has 20+ D1 offers and it looks like he's narrowing down his choices. Among some of the top schools looking to land him are Georgia, LSU, Notre Dame and Texas Au0026amp;M. We mentioned some star running backs and Simon is one of them.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1171454"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Another standout from Texas TAP will be 2026 wide receiver and defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1171454' first='Jermaine' last='Bishop Jr.'] out of Willis. Bishop's teammate DJ Lagway was one of the top prospects in the country's 2024 class and Bishop is looking to be the next marquee prospect to come out of Willis. Just a sophomore, Bishop already has seen his recruitment take off. He has 15 D1 offers and by the time the tourney start that number might be higher. Notable schools include Florida, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas and USC. Bishop is about to blow up as a true national recruit this spring and we can't wait to see what he does this weekend.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1171457"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"2026 wide receiver and defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1171457' first='Paris' last='Melvin Jr.'] will be playing for Cypress Elite and the Cy Springs standout is starting to see his recruitment absolutely explode. The sophomore standout has double digit D1 offers and the most notable offer is from the reigning national champion Michigan Wolverines. Melvin has already been dominant on the 7v7 circuit in the last month. At a previous tournament, Melvin finished the weekend with five interceptions on defense and seven touchdowns on offense. He's a game changer on both sides of the ball and we're looking forward to seeing him in action this week.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["950570"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"The only prospect on this breakdown to primarily play quarterback is 2026 signal caller [player_tooltip player_id='950570' first='Romin' last='Seymour'] from Thoroughbred Sports. Seymour, a sophomore out of Ridge Point will immediately command attention this weekend. Standing 6'6 and with a rocket attached to his shoulder, Seymour has the potential to be the best quarterback in attendance this weekend. The sophomore signal caller is already on a lot of radars moving forward as a prospect. He's been offered by teams like Florida, Florida State and Texas Au0026amp;M. In fact, Au0026amp;M offered Seymour during the summer before his freshman year. There's a lot of potential here.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":7,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65c13bd564962"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
