A look at 10 of the most heavily recruited defensive prospects who are set to take center stage at the Texas State 7-on-7 Championships.
2026 ATH Jermaine Bishop (5'11, 165) - Willis: The Texas Longhorns commit is already established as one of the best 7v7 players in the country, known for his ability to shut down opposing receivers. He is a must-watch.
2027 LB Cooper Witten (6'2, 210) - Argyle Liberty Christian: The son of former Dallas Cowboys star and Argyle Liberty Christian HC Jason Witten, is already rated as one of the top prospects nationally with offers from coast-to-coast.
2026 S Donovan Webb (6'0, 185) - Frisco Panther Creek: The No. 1-rated safety in the Lone Star State has been heavily pursued by some of the nation's elite, and he is closing in on a decision between Texas Tech, Kansas State, Michigan and Notre Dame.
2027 CB Greedy James (6'2, 175) - Manvel: With double-digit offers, including Baylor, Houston, SMU, TCU and Texas, James is one of the fastest-rising stars in recruiting circles with the unique ability to take a No. 1 WR completely out of the game.
2026 DB Yaheim Riley (6'1, 175) - Austin Anderson: The Texas commit has incredible range, which allows him to patrol the secondary effectively using his long arms to constantly disrupt throwing lanes and collect PBUs. He will also provide valuable offensive reps.
