Prospect on the Rise 

Texas High 2022 DE Derrick Brown (6'4, 210) hit the 25 offer plateau this week after securing new offers from Texas A&M and Louisiana. 

Brown formed a formidable 1-2 punch on the edge with Oklahoma signee Clayton Smith last season, and the Sooners have also extended him an offer to reunite the duo. 

Additionally, Brown recently picked up an offer from Texas, and the Longhorns are working hard to make an impression with the fast-rising East Texas defender quickly. 

As a junior, Brown collected 67 tackles, 20 tackles for a loss and six sacks to earn all-district honors. 

Commit of the Week

2022 Duncanville LB Jordan Crook (6'0, 220) committed to Oklahoma State over offers from schools like Baylor, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Michigan, Nebraska, USC and more. 

Crook is rated as a DCTF four-star prospect. 

Next Level Athlete Scouting Report: The head-knocking linebacker made an easy transition from private school to 6A. He is a scheme-versatile linebacker who is physical enough and runs well enough to play any linebacker spot. He is a head-knocker with plus size. 

Underclassmen of the Week

2023 Arlington Martin CB Javien Toviano (6'0, 185) picked up new offers this week from SMU, Ole Miss, Oregon and Oklahoma State. 

Those schools join an already impressive list that includes schools like Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M, Arkansas and Oklahoma. 

The brother of Rice RB Juma Otaviano was named the Defensive Newcomer of the Year after a strong performance as a sophomore in 2020-21.

Recruit of the Week

2022 Fort Bend Marshall WR Chris Marshall (6'3, 195) accepted an invitation to play in the 2022 All-American Bowl in San Antonio. 

Just hours later, he earned an offer from defending national champion Alabama. 

The DCTF four-star is seriously considering offers from schools like Texas, Texas A&M, Oregon, and USC.
