Ridge Point Boasts OL Dominance

Ridge Point may boast the best trench group in the state. TCU commit Jordan Burnett (6-5, 340) and Arkansas commit Hugh Smith (6-4, 290) dominate the line of scrimmage, providing raw power to create huge lanes. Avery Morcho (6'6, 295), a Texas A&M commit, sets the edge and is a strong candidate to earn four-star status in the DCTX Rising Hot 100. 

New Mexico Commit Can Go!

One of the most intriguing weapons in Ridge Point’s arsenal is 2026 WR Bailen George (6'0, 160), a New Mexico commit. He’s a flash off the line with game-changing quickness that keeps defenses on their heels and complements Arkansas WR commit Robert Haynes IV (6'1, 170) perfectly.

Next Wave

2028 LB Brayden Bonik (6'0, 190) had a massive offseason, collecting 25 scholarship offers from programs such as Georgia, Houston, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Penn State, TCU and Texas A&M. He will be one of the fastest players on the field regardless of class year, making him one of the nation’s most coveted young defenders. 2027 DB Aaron Williams (6'1, 200) has crossed the double-digit offer mark with schools like Arizona State, Baylor, Houston, Mississippi State, TCU, Texas Tech and Utah in pursuit. Another high-upside athlete in the Ridge Point pipeline, his recruitment is set to blow up. 2027 DB Bryson Dossett (5'11, 165) is the younger brother of current Baylor WR Mason Dossett. He plays fearless and fast, already holding offers from Baylor, Houston, Illinois and Rice.

Bridgeland Defensive Star IS a National Recruit

2027 Safety Braiden Graves (6'3, 190) is one of the fastest risers in the state. Graves has outstanding range and punishing physicality. He closes fast on the ball and arrives with bad intentions, making him a must-watch in this matchup. Houston, Kansas and Utah are his P4-level offers, but every school in the state should soon be hot on his heels. 

Bears Workhorse at RB

2027 RB Kash Schwab (5-11, 185) will be a featured element of the offense and already owns a Texas State offer. He is averaging 14.92 yards per carry in the early going with 373 yards and five touchdowns. 

Bridgeland’s Rising Offensive Linemen

The Bears feature a pair of promising 2027 offensive linemen. Chase Allen (6-3, 285) is a rock up front with offers from Arkansas State and UTSA. Austin Holcomb (6-4, 285) learned behind former four-stars Jonte Newman (Texas A&M) and Ryan Fodje (Oklahoma) and has already turned heads at camp stops with Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Houston and North Texas. Early-season film could spark his first wave of offers.
