Name: Noble Johnson | School: Rockwall | Class: 2023 | Pos: WR | HT: 6'2 | WT: 205

Breakdown: There may not be a more physically imposing prospect in TXHSFB in the 2023 cycle. Johnson, who is rated as DCTF four-star prospect, showed a well-rounded skill set blocking on the edge and securing a pair of impressive catches, including climbing the ladder over the top of a couple of Horn defenders to showcase his hands and concentration. There was a lot of talks early that Johnson may grow into a tight end, but he should simply be categorized as an outside receiver who can move around to create mismatches in a college offense. He has good top-end speed, runs tremendous routes, and understands how to use his body to his advantage. After the game, Johnson revealed that he collected 56 offers before committing to Clemson.

Name: Kiefer Sibley | School: Waco Connally | Class: 2024 | Pos: RB | HT: 5'9 | WT: 180

Breakdown: Kobe Black will get most of the headlines for Waco Connally, and for good reason with four touchdowns Friday night against Springtown. But fellow 2024 prospect,  Kiefer Sibley is the down-to-down workhorse running back for the Cadets at 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds. He's not easy to tackle one on one and has enough speed to challenge the third level of defenses. He holds a Colorado offer right now but expect that to ramp up as he catches more people's eye playing next to Black over the next year and a half. - Ishmael Johnson

Name: Armstrong Nnodim | School: Mesquite Horn | Class: 2024 | Pos: DT | HT: 6'2 | WT: 245

Breakdown: Nnodim is a prospect who is about to start to gain a lot of recruiting momentum. Right now he has offers from Austin Peay, UIW and Northern Arizona. TCU was in attendance at the game on Friday night and he took an unofficial visit to see the Horned Frogs dismantle OU on Saturday. OU is another school that has hosted Nnodim on an unofficial visit this fall. On the field, the 2024 defender bears some resemblance to a young Ed Oliver. He is a muscular specimen who will need to add some weight, but he plays with a warrior's attitude and is a constant terror for offensive linemen. 

Name: Lamont Rogers | School: Mesquite Horn | Class: 2025 | Pos: OT | HT: 6'7 | WT: 205

Breakdown: Rogers is a consensus Top 100 prospect in his class with early offers from Baylor, SMU and Texas Tech. He starts at left tackle -- an athletic big man who still has some development ahead but has plenty of the tools that you are looking to build on; an impressive wingspan and size to go along with functional athleticism in a legit 6-foot-7 frame. When colleges stop in to scout the Jaguars program, they will be hard-pressed to extend Rogers an offer based on the eyeball test alone.
