Key Additions

Who were the highest-rated signees or prospects who might come in and make a significant impact?

ATH Terry Bussey (5'10, 180) - Timpson: Bussey is an elite athlete who could play on both sides of the football in college at wide receiver or defensive back. His 4.42 40-yard dash speed marked him as the fastest prospect in the nation. The five-star was named Mr. Texas Football in 2022.

DL Dealyn Evans (6'5, 270) - Longview Pine Tree: Evans, a sizable and lengthy defensive lineman, garners varying opinions, seen by some as a defensive tackle and others as a defensive end. He leverages his formidable power in the trenches, yet his agile footwork hints at a potential role on the edge.

OG Isendre Ahfua (6'5, 310) - Seattle O'Dea (Wa.): The All-American from the Pacific Northwest is rated a 247Sports four-star, checking in as the No. 8 IOL nationally. Strength is the name of his game, and he racks up a lot of pancake blocks. 

Fan Favorite

What prospect was a fan favorite or a local hero who starred near the campus?

Ashton Funk (6'6, 295) - Katy Tompkins: Funk is the model of consistency up front. He has a wealth of experience playing left tackle. Still, he is powerful enough to move inside at the next level, making his position flexibility a significant asset to his overall prospect value. 

Super Sleeper

We pick one prospect on the commit list and explain how he might outplay his ranking in college.

Ernest Campbell (5'8, 150) - Refugio: What Campbell lacks in size he makes up with in speed. He posted a blistering 10.22 2A 100-meter dash, the fastest time in the state, regardless of classification at the UIL State Track Championships. Campbell is rated the No. 100 prospect in the state, but his elite speed could make him pop early in his college career.
