Prospect on the Rise 

2022 Alief Hastings Timi Gagophien (6'6, 290) picked up his second Power Five offer from Tennessee and added an offer from La. Tech this week. 

Gagophien now boasts 16 scholarship opportunities, including offers from schools like Ole Miss, Houston, North Texas, UTSA, Tulane and more.  

Gagophien earned all-district honors after a strong performance as a junior.

Commit of the Week

There were no new commitments announced this week, so we are rewinding the clock to take a closer look at 2022 Katy LB Ty Kana (6'2, 210) who committed to USC over offers from Baylor, SMU, Colorado, Oklahoma State, Washington and more. 

Next Level Athlete Scouting Report: Katy has many talented prospects on the defensive side of the football, but Kana is viewed as the leader from his spot at linebacker. He quickly diagnoses plays and reads through the traffic to make plays. Kana is a technique-sound tackler. 

Underclassmen of the Week

2024 DeSoto DE Caleb Mitchell (6'2, 240) has some big shoes to fill on the Eagles defensive front in 2021, taking over for Texas A&M-bound defensive end Shemar Turner. 

The talented youngster has all of the tools you look for in a top prospect, and colleges are starting to take note quickly. 

This month he has picked up two Big 12 offers from TCU and Oklahoma State, who join Mississippi State and Illinois State on his early offer list. 

By the time it is all said and done, he will have offers from every top program in the nation. 

Recruit of the Week

With some significant official visits looming, 2022 Southlake Carroll CB Avyonne Jones (5'11, 180) has backed off his commitment to Oklahoma State. 

Jones has plans to take official visits to Arizona (6/4), Oklahoma State (6/9) and Wisconsin (6/17). 

Jones was an all-district selection and helped lead the Dragons to the state championship game in 2020-21.
