The Complete 2026 DCTX Rising 100 (LINK)

Browse the link above to see the complete Top 100 list, including rankings at every position. 

New Four-Stars

• S Markel Ford (6'0, 185) – Mesquite Horn: Ford returned to Mesquite Horn and instantly reminded everyone why every major program wanted him. Elite athlete, heavy hitter and a tone-setter on defense. Committed to Oklahoma.
• OLB Carson Crawford (6'2, 205) – Carthage: One of the state’s best pure athletes. Crawford has lined up all over the defense and even chips in on offense—big ceiling, big motor. Committed to Colorado.
• ATH Kaegan Ash (6'0, 200) – Mount Enterprise: Ash is everything a small-school superstar should be… absolutely DOMINANT. The Next Level Athlete RB MVP will likely settle in at LB at Texas Tech, where is committed.
• DT Jimmy-Phrisco Alo-Suliafu (6'3, 260) – Katy Jordan: A game-wrecker in the trenches. Alo-Suliafu is violent vs. the run and explosive enough to collapse the pocket consistently. Committed to North Carolina.
• RB John Hebert (5'10, 185) – Houston Strake Jesuit: One of the most productive backs we’ve covered, stacking 3,500-plus yards in back-to-back seasons against 6A defenses. Hebert brings a warrior’s mentality to UH.
• CB S'Vioarean Martin (6'1, 185) – Palestine: The Texas Tech commit is Navy All-American Bowl–bound and brings true lockdown swagger. Didn’t allow a touchdown in three years. Enough said.

• OT Nicholas Howard (6'5, 285) – Pearland: When Howard walked into the DCTX Recruiting Road Show earlier this year, jaws dropped. The Pittsburgh commit looks like a future pro, and the tape backs it up.

New to the Hot 100

• RB G'Ivori Graham (5'9, 195) – San Antonio Harlan: Sub-4.4 speed and all-purpose versatility push him up the board. Committed to TCU.
• WR Jaylen Pile (6'0, 175) – Dallas Parish Episcopal: The Michigan commit boasts back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and averaged 20+ yards per catch. Certified big-play machine.
• RB Amante Martin (5'11, 190) – Port Arthur Memorial: The TCU commit is a balanced back who runs with pop. Pair him with Graham and the Big 12 is in trouble.
• CB Xaier Hiler (6'4, 175) – Denton Ryan: The Arizona commit brings rare size at corner and shuts down half the field. A highly valued piece of the dominant Ryan defense.
• QB Angelo Renda (6'0, 180) – Southlake Carroll: Renda keeps leveling up. He's a smooth operator who maximizes talent around him with poise, touch and anticipation you can’t coach. Committed to Pitt.
• CB Victor Lincoln (6'0, 165) – Duncanville: The Ole Miss commit completely transformed the Duncanville secondary. Sticky in man coverage and erases top receivers weekly.
