There are a ton of promising athletes here in Houston I decided to build an offense and defense team built up of these promising athletes. I will be discussing my defensive lineman picks for my defensive team.
NG: Atascocita High School Samu Taumanupepe Samu Taumanupepe 6'3" | 380 lbs | DL Atascocita | 2023 State TX Sr 6’3 380 lbs
Samu Taumanupepe Samu Taumanupepe 6'3" | 380 lbs | DL Atascocita | 2023 State TX is an incredible defensive tackle with not only his size but quickness and power to boot. Samu is the biggest and heaviest player I have seen in High School football. Every time I’ve seen Samu play offensive linemen can barely contain him even while being double teamed they were not able to slow Samu down. Despite his size, Samu is light on his feet and uses his quickness to get through the offensive line to get into the backfield. Samu is a top college prospect being recruited by numerous colleges and universities but decided to commit to the University of Texas A&M for the fall 2023 football season.
DE: Cy-Ranch High School Ashton Porter Ashton Porter 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Cy Ranch | 2023 State TX Sr 6’3 255 lbs
Ashton Porter Ashton Porter 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Cy Ranch | 2023 State TX is a slim and quick defensive end with tons of power to boot. Ashton just couldn’t be stopped one drive Ashton was being blocked by two offensive linemen and one tight-end and they still had trouble containing him. Ashton proved that he is well deserving of being ranked top 50 in the state of Texas. When I interviewed Ashton Porter Ashton Porter 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Cy Ranch | 2023 State TX it was clear that he has a lot of pride in his teammates and love for his family. Ashton is a top college prospect and his recent de-commitment from Northwestern University has made him a hot commodity for every college reaching out to Ashton to get him on their team. Ashton’s current stats this season with 7 games recorded are 10 sacks, 42 total tackles, and one pick-six touchdown.
DE: Paetow High School David Hicks David Hicks 6'4" | 245 lbs | DL Paetow | 2023 State TX Jr. Sr 6’4 270 lbs
Not only is David Hick the ideal size for a defensive end he is also quick off the ball, agile, versatile, and possesses great athletic ability. David is the perfect defensive end he attacks the edge, using his power and speed to break through any obstacle in his way to make the play. David Hicks David Hicks 6'4" | 245 lbs | DL Paetow | 2023 State TX was dominating last season while playing for Allen High School in Allen, TX. However, David recently transferred to Paetow for his senior season and they have had a tough transition from 5A to 6A this season. Being such a great athlete David is a top college prospect catching the attention of numerous amount of colleges and universities, but David chose to commit to the University of Texas A&M. David’s current stats this season with 6 games recorded are 4 sacks, 3 fumbles caused and 27 total tackles.
If Ashton Porter Ashton Porter 6'4" | 240 lbs | DL Cy Ranch | 2023 State TX decides to commit to the University of Texas A&M all three of these defensive linemen will be on the same team. If that happens A&M will have one of the best defensive lines in the nation.
