Browse the link above to see the complete Top 100 list, including rankings at every position. 

Newest Four-Stars

• S Markel Ford (6'0, 185) – Mesquite Horn: Ford returned to Mesquite Horn and instantly reminded everyone why every major program wanted him. Elite athlete, heavy hitter and a tone-setter on defense. Committed to Oklahoma.
• OLB Carson Crawford (6'2, 205) – Carthage: One of the state’s best pure athletes. Crawford has lined up all over the defense and even chips in on offense—big ceiling, big motor. Committed to Colorado.
• ATH Kaegan Ash (6'0, 200) – Mount Enterprise: Ash is everything a small-school superstar should be… absolutely DOMINANT. The Next Level Athlete RB MVP will likely settle in at LB at Texas Tech, where is committed.
• DT Jimmy-Phrisco Alo-Suliafu (6'3, 260) – Katy Jordan: A game-wrecker in the trenches. Alo-Suliafu is violent vs. the run and explosive enough to collapse the pocket consistently. Committed to North Carolina.
• RB John Hebert (5'10, 185) – Houston Strake Jesuit: One of the most productive backs we’ve covered, stacking 3,500-plus yards in back-to-back seasons against 6A defenses. Hebert brings a warrior’s mentality to UH.
• CB S'Vioarean Martin (6'1, 185) – Palestine: The Texas Tech commit is Navy All-American Bowl–bound and brings true lockdown swagger. Didn’t allow a touchdown in three years. Enough said.

• OT Nicholas Howard (6'5, 285) – Pearland: When Howard walked into the DCTX Recruiting Road Show earlier this year, jaws dropped. The Pittsburgh commit looks like a future pro, and the tape backs it up.

New to the Hot 100

• RB G'Ivori Graham (5'9, 195) – San Antonio Harlan: Sub-4.4 speed and all-purpose versatility push him up the board. Committed to TCU.
• WR Jaylen Pile (6'0, 175) – Dallas Parish Episcopal: The Michigan commit boasts back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and averaged 20+ yards per catch. Certified big-play machine.
• RB Amante Martin (5'11, 190) – Port Arthur Memorial: The TCU commit is a balanced back who runs with pop. Pair him with Graham and the Big 12 is in trouble.
• CB Xaier Hiler (6'4, 175) – Denton Ryan: The Arizona commit brings rare size at corner and shuts down half the field. A highly valued piece of the dominant Ryan defense.
• CB Victor Lincoln (6'0, 165) – Duncanville: The Ole Miss commit completely transformed the Duncanville secondary. Sticky in man coverage and erases top receivers weekly.
• LB Tyler Covar (6'2, 220) - Magnolia: After racking up 133 tackles, eight sacks, nin TFLS and five forced fumbles, Covar was named the District Defensive MVP. He will be playing his college ball at Houston, where his brother, Tanner Covar, will join him.
• RB Traeshawn Brown - Huntsville: The Next Level Athlete Texas Top 100 RB MVP picked up a late offer from Alabama and quickly signed with the Crimson Tide in the Early Signing Period. His tape packs a punch.
