2025 TE Kiotti Armstrong (6'6, 245) - Jasper: The 2025 cycle features an abundance of tight end talent, but none may be hotter right now than Armstrong, who picked up new offers from Texas A&M, SMU, North Texas, Oregon, Texas and Oklahoma. 

2025 OT Michael Fasusi (6'5, 290) - Lewisville: The No. 3 prospect in DCTF's 2025 rankings is now a national name. He will get to pick where he wants to play his college ball, but that did not stop him from picking up ten new offers in the eval period, bringing his tally to 28. 

2024 OT Hayden Gunter (6'8, 260) - Denton: One of the best-kept secrets in the state is a secret no more. Gunter picked up his first two offers from Texas Tech and Vanderbilt back in March, but since April 15th he has added Duke, Utah State, Houston, Tulsa, Tulane, Kansas, Stanford and TCU. 

2025 WR Tanook Hines (6'0, 165) - Spring DeKaney: No prospect in the state is hotter than Hines, who has added a bunch of new offers as well as some powerful ones. He now has over 20 scholarships with schools like Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Michigan and Tennessee all stepping up in the eval period. 

2024 DT Carlon Jones (6'3, 270) - Bay City: Jones continues to see his list change and evolve as every offer seems to take it to a new level. He now boasts 23 offers, with schools like TCU, SMU, Texas Tech, Utah, Georgia Tech, and Nebraska offering most recently.

2025 WR Andrew Marsh (6'1, 175) - Katy Jordan: With Marsh, it is about the quality of the offer he has seen come his way. DCTF's No. 5 prospect in the 2025 cycle has seen offers come in from Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State this spring. 

2024 WR Heath McRee (6'0, 170) - Austin Westlake: McRee, the younger brother of USC TE Lake McRee, is no longer a sleeper as he has seen eight new offers come his way in the evaluation period (Air Force, Army, UNLV, Colorado State, Boston College, North Texas, Texas State, UTRGV). McRee is lightning fast; his best-listed 100-meter time is 10.33, and he finished 8th in the state with a 10.83.  

2025 QB Keelon Russell (6'3, 175) - Duncanville: Russell helped lead the Panthers to a 6A Division I state title in 2022, and now he is reaping the benefit of a championship run with new evaluation period offers from UTSA, Ole Miss, Purdue, Virginia Tech, SMU and Oklahoma State. Memphis, North Texas and TCU have also offered.

2025 LB Jayden Shelton (6'0, 200) - South Oak Cliff: Shelton has been grabbing attention from programs near and far this spring, doubling his offer total to 16. Most notably, he has picked up new offers from Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Ohio State. 

2026 S/CB Isaiah Williams (6'0, 180) - Fort Bend Marshall: One of the top-rated freshmen in the state has grabbed major attention in the evaluation period as his offer list has eclipsed double digits with Texas, UTSA, Arkansas, Nebraska, Baylor, LSU, Oregon, Texas A&M, TCU and SMU all stepping up to join Texas Tech.
