St. John Mavericks Cole Allen WR, RB, SS So 5’10 180 lbs
Cole Allen is what I like to call the rising star of St. John. This young man can do it all catch, run, block, tackle, and wherever Cole is on the field he will get the job done. Cole is incredibly fast in either the running back or wide receiver position Cole could not be stopped. Besides the quarterback, Cole touched the ball most out of anyone on the field. On defense, Cole provided great coverage as a strong safety and was an efficient tackler with great form. Cole’s stats this season were off the chart he is no ordinary sophomore and one of the best athletes in the game.

Shadow Creek Sharks Jacorey Watson Jacorey Watson 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Shadow Creek | 2025 State TX QB, WR So 5’10 175 lbs
Jacorey Watson Jacorey Watson 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Shadow Creek | 2025 State TX mainly lined up as a wide receiver but got a couple of chances to throw the ball as a quarterback. Jacorey as a wide receiver was incredibly quick beating out the defender in front of him to catch passes and the two passes he caught they were both resulted in touchdowns. When Jacorey was a quarterback he had a phenomenal arm being able to throw short to mid-long passes with great accuracy. For being only a sophomore and leaving this much of an impact Jacorey will be a top-ranked player by next season.

Micah Bell Micah Bell 5'11" | 160 lbs | DB The Kinkaid | 2023 State TX is the backbone and foundation for The Kinkaid Falcons. Micah is highly ranked in the nation for a reason. Micah is a pure athlete he plays on both sides of the ball on offense as a running back and quarterback and on defense as a cornerback and safety. Micah has a ton of standout traits he is strong, fast, quick, persistent, and a hard hitter. Micah was able to seamlessly transition between positions playing aggressively on both offense and defense.

North Shore Mustangs Evan Jackson DB, QB Sr 6’0
Evan Jackson is a pure and unadulterated athlete. Not only is Evan a great defensive back that provides great coverage he is also North Shore’s punter, punt returner, and backup quarterback. Evan is a master of all trades and I love seeing athletes with tons of variety Evan played every position to near perfection. Evan was killing it all season long at any position he played and being an athlete with a lot of variety on the best team in Texas showcases why Evan is one of the best athletes in his class.

Furr Brahmans Camron Heard QB, WR, DB Sr 5’11 155 lbs
Camron Heard is an outstanding athlete. Camron is a ranked athlete with numerous college offers even though he is from one of the smallest unknown high schools in Houston Furr. Because Furr is a small school Camron had to line up as both a quarterback and a wide receiver. Playing at either position Camron used his tremendous speed to run the ball. Camron was a major threat majority of the competition Camron faced could not keep up with his speed leaving everyone in his dust. Camron also played as a defensive back providing great coverage and caught a total of 5 interceptions throughout the season. Camron is a roundabout athlete with versatility and great velocity he left a huge impact while at Furr High School and will be a significant key player at Oklahoma State University.
