Everyone has heard of the saying “defense wins championships” well some could say that to have a champion-caliber team you must have good defensive backs that can take away the passing game.

Caimon Mathis Caimon Mathis 6'0" | 165 lbs | DB DeSoto | 2023 State TX | 5’10″ 150 lbs | DeSoto
Mathis should be a special player to watch. We have 2 DBs on here from DeSoto. A school where NFL-level talent is produced and college talent is just a given. The powerhouse should prove to have some of the best lockdown corners in the state on defense for years to come. They should be scary good and everyone knows the saying “defense wins championships”.
