These are the DCTX picks for the best Division II and Division III performances in the Texas 7-on-7 State Tournament.
Check out Division I HERE.
QB: Cooper Corley (Graham, 2027)
Corley led the Longhorns to the Division II state title, and they never lost a game along the way, finishing with a perfect 8-0 record. He was efficient with the football and delivered big throws in pressure situations. He always seemed to be in control.
RB/WR: Logan Bures (Ganado, 2027)
Bures, who rushed for over 1,400 yards in the pads last season, was used primarily as a wide receiver in the 7-on-7 setting. "Smoke" was the MVP of the Division III championship game and was electric in Ganado's offense, using his quickness to punish defenders.
WR: Tim Moore (Van Alstyne, 2027)
Moore used his 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame to consistently change games on the Panthers' march to the DII title game. They fell just a couple of plays short of winning the title, but finished 6-2 on the weekend and seem to be hitting on all cylinders as the 2026 season approaches.
WR: Kemontrea McGregor (West Rusk, 2027)
McGregor formed a 1-2-3 punch with MVP Brown and 2030 QB Trig Pratt to give the Raiders the most exciting offensive attack in the DIII bracket. McGregor, who holds offers from UMHB and Louisiana Christian, was physically impressive and consistently open.
WR: Brodie Martin (Graham, 2027)
Graham was losing some of its top wide receiver talent as the heat wore on throughout the tournament, but Martin remained constant. He delivered his biggest performance in the championship game, earning MVP honors after hauling in three touchdown receptions. He holds offers from McPherson and Howard Payne.
WR Maddox Pitre (Stafford 2028)
Pitre was one of the tournament's most physically imposing prospects and top performers. He added value on defense, but made his biggest impact at wide receiver, using his speed to create explosive plays. He headlines one of 4A's top receiving corps alongside Aiden Seales.
ATH Chris Smith (Lexington, 2028)
Most of his reps came at quarterback, where he took over the reins for Penn State signee Kase Evans, but he also flipped over and provided valuable snaps on defense. Lexington should continue to roll with Smith under center.
LB: Thomason Burkett - Graham
The play of Graham's linebackers was instrumental in the championship run, as they made life difficult underneath and over the middle. Burkett was a constant thorn in the side of opposing offenses, disrupting the quick passing game throughout the tournament.
LB: Isaiah Reed - Hamshire-Fannett
The Texas State commit was battling back from an injury that cut his junior season short, but it did not show on the field. He was one of the most athletic players in attendance and earned DCTX 7-on-7 All-State honors for the second consecutive year.
DB: Avery Curry Jr. (La Marque, 2028)
La Marque kicked it into high gear during bracket play, and Curry consistently made game-changing plays as the team advanced. His biggest moment came with a game-sealing interception against West Orange-Stark. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound defensive back should attract attention from college programs.
DB: Luke Conner (Pilot Point, 2027)
Conner was hard to miss at 6-foot-4 and 175 pounds, starring on both sides of the ball. On defense, he tracked the football effortlessly and used his 4.49 40-yard speed to make plays all over the field. He has earned offers from Hendrix and Austin College.
DB: Aidyn Lee (Goldthwaite, 2027)
The star of a Goldthwaite team that went 6-1 and advanced to the semifinals, he is a multi-sport, multi-position standout. His quickness and athletic profile helped limit big plays in the secondary, and he consistently played bigger than his 5-foot-9, 150-pound frame suggests.
ATH: Keimarion Wiggins (Bay City, 2027)
Wiggins doubled as the team's quarterback, so his presence was felt on both sides of the ball. On defense, he moved around the middle of the field in a hybrid S/LB role and was constantly around the action. Wiggins is a Class 4A Preseason Player of the Year candidate after scoring 35 touchdowns last season.
ATH: Malcolm Anderson (Southwest Christian, 2029)
The 6-foot-2, 165-pounder may have had his breakout moment as a prospect in this tournament, helping his team advance to the quarterfinals while spending time playing wide receiver and defensive back. Baylor was his first offer, but more are on the way.
