These selections are based on a formula that's part returning production, part recruiting stars and even part projection.
With that in mind, here's a look at the top QB/WR duos for 6A and 5A.
5A
5. Pflugerville Weiss QB Jaxon Schad and WR Tre Moore
Schad took over Weiss’ starting quarterback job in Week 1 of his freshman season after senior Jax Brown suffered a season-ending injury in a scrimmage. His poise saved the season, as he completed over 71% of his passes for 2,689 yards and 32 touchdowns. Texas Tech, SMU and UTSA have since offered.
Moore (6-3, 200) put up 562 yards and six touchdowns despite playing alongside last season’s WR1, Adrian Wilson. With 24 offers from schools like Alabama, Texas and Texas A&M, the junior should be the offense’s focal point in 2025.
4. Iowa Colony QB Carson White and WR Jayden Warren
White enters his third year as the starting quarterback and is coming off his best season, totaling 2,703 total yards and 48 touchdowns. He earned District Offensive MVP after leading Iowa Colony to back-to-back 12-win seasons. The rising junior has nine offers, including SMU, Houston and North Texas.
Warren is his main target. The senior has the blend of size (6-2, 195) and speed (4.4 40-yard dash) that’s earned him 33 offers. Nebraska, Houston, TCU, SMU and Oklahoma are all heavily in the mix.
3. Red Oak QB Billy Middleton III and WR Brayden Robinson
Robinson, the son of Red Oak head coach Melvin Robinson, used his 10.44 100-meter dash speed to haul in 79 passes for 1,408 yards and 15 touchdowns. He took over as the clear-cut WR1 for the Hawks after Baylor signee Taz Williams Jr. was injured early in the year. Robinson will commit on July 20, with a top three of Notre Dame, Arizona and Miami.
Middleton racked up 3,334 total yards and 34 touchdowns in his first season as a starter. He’s since earned offers from Missouri State, UT-Permian Basin and East Central. The 6-2, 170-pound quarterback also plays baseball and runs track and that athleticism shows up on his tape. The unanimous First Team All-District selection runs away from safeties.
2. Waco University QB Savoy Nichols and WR London Smith
Smith is a four-year letterman and Baylor commit who put up 45 catches, 626 yards and five touchdowns in just five games played before a season-ending injury. He’s inherited his athleticism from his mother, Stacey, a triple jump national champion at Baylor, and his father, Rodney, a three-year safety at Baylor. Dave Campbell’s Texas Football named Smith a Top 15 dual-sport athlete in the state.
Nichols threw for 2,169 yards and 16 touchdowns as a sophomore. The 6-5, 195-pound gunslinger should have a breakout season now that he’s more comfortable and wide receivers like Smith return.
1. Highland Park QB Buck Randall and WR Cannon Bozman
Randall became the first Highland Park quarterback to start as a sophomore since Matthew Stafford and led the Scotties back to the state championship for the first time since 2018 last season. The young gunslinger showed a veteran’s poise, like when he threw two interceptions on the first two possessions against Frisco Lone Star in the regional final, then captained a 41-28 win.
Bozman, a 6-foot, 175-pound slot receiver, used his 4.4 speed to haul in 69 passes for 1,112 yards and 12 touchdowns. The rising senior broke Highland Park’s 100 record this spring (10.66).
6A
5. Austin Vandegrift QB Miles Teodecki and WR Brock Chilton
Teodecki entered his first season as the starting quarterback last year with zero scholarship offers. After earning District MVP and leading Vandegrift to its first state championship in program history, he reeled in 15 offers. The lefty quarterback passed for 3,290 yards and 48 touchdowns as a junior.
Teodecki returns a top weapon in receiver Brock Chilton. The 5-10, 170-pounder took a fourth of his catches for touchdowns, finishing the year with 48 receptions for 909 yards and 12 scores. His 4.4 speed makes him a threat to take any catch to the house.
4. Humble Summer Creek QB Noah Spinks and WR Benny Easter Jr.
Summer Creek has multiple Division I-bound wideouts with Easter and Tre Brown. Brown has Power Four offers to Baylor, Houston, TCU and Texas Tech. But Easter gets the nod here for his 987 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns.
The 6-2, 190-pound wideout could be in for an even more lucrative junior year with Flower Mound transfer quarterback Noah Spinks’ arrival. Sprinks threw for 2,042 yards and 16 touchdowns as a sophomore. The 6-1, 180-pound gunslinger added offers from Incarnate Word and UTSA this offseason.
3. Laredo United QB Jorge Luna and WR Colt Lozano
Lozano was named District Offensive MVP as a sophomore after finishing sixth in Class 6A with 82 receptions for 1,180 yards and 13 touchdowns. At 5-10, 160 pounds, Lozano takes the top off the defense with his speed.
But Luna has the rocket right arm to get it to Lozano. Luna earned the District’s Top Quarterback selection after passing for 2,256 yards and 25 touchdowns. The 6-2, 180-pound quarterback has excellent pocket mobility and deep ball accuracy.
2. Waxahachie QB Jerry Meyer III and WR Kohen Brown
Meyer moved to Texas’ toughest district after setting the Nevada single-season passing touchdown record as a freshman. The 2027 prospect threw for 3,308 yards and 29 touchdowns en route to Offensive Newcomer of the Year selection. The 6-foot, 175-pound signal-caller has 20 offers, including SMU, TCU and Texas Tech.
Brown burst onto the scene as a junior with 54 receptions for 1,084 yards and 11 touchdowns. He runs a 4.4 40-yard dash at 6-foot, 185 pounds. Brown has 41 offers ahead of his senior season and recently decommitted from USC. He’ll be Meyer’s No.1 target once again.
1. Southlake Carroll QB Angelo Renda and wide receiver Brock Boyd
Renda and Boyd starred in the state championship last December, connecting on 13 passes for 178 yards and a touchdown. The duo’s return has the Dragons thinking about a state championship return - this time with a win.
Renda was named the District 4-6A Most Valuable Player in his first season as a starter with 3,899 yards and 40 touchdowns. He elevated his play after Southlake Carroll lost its two star running backs (Riley Wormley and Davis Penn) for the season and threw them to the championship. The rising senior is committed to Pitt.
Boyd, an Ohio State commit, is the No. 2-ranked wide receiver in the Class of 2026. Brock, the younger brother of Texas Tech wide receiver and former Southlake star Brady Boyd, has carried on the family legacy with 1,868 yards and 19 touchdowns as a junior.
