2026 North Crowley OL John Turnine III (6'4, 270), a Texas Longhorns commit, anchors the offensive line at left tackle with elite athleticism and footwork. On the defensive side, 2026 North Crowley S Aaron Bradshaw (6'2, 185) is a Texas Tech commit who adds size and toughness in the secondary. 2026 North Crowley DE Donovan Ughanze (6'4, 230) is currently uncommitted with more than 15 offers.

Rockwall boasts Stanford commit ATH Jack Duckworth (5'11, 170), a two-way standout (WR/CB) who could draw key matchups against North Crowley’s top receiver and UTEP commit TE Jackson Stoner (6'3, 230), who is known as a punishing blocker but has made a big impact this season at defensive end, earning Defensive Player of the Week honors versus Lewisville.

North Crowley is embracing a youth movement on offense, headlined by 2028 WR Damarion Mays (6'2, 180), already one of the most recruited players in the country with 30+ offers. Mays pairs well with 2027 RB Kiante Ingram (5'9, 190), a bulldozer with offers from Arizona, Ole Miss, SMU, Texas State and UTEP.

2027 TE Jeramie Cooper (6'2, 235) has racked up 20-plus offers. 2028 WR Kade Smith (5'10, 175) continues to expand his role in the offense every game and 2027 WR Hayden Green (6'3, 200) is another name to track. Both Smith and Green already hold more than five offers.

The Panthers’ defense is bolstered by one of the top secondaries in Texas. 2027 CB Jerry Outhouse Jr. (6'0, 175) holds 35+ offers and is a true lockdown presence, and 2027 S Elijajuan Houston (5'11, 170) is closing in on 30 offers.

Rockwall also boasts an emerging playmaker of its own in 2028 WR Ryan Wiley (5'10, 170). He already leads the team in touchdown receptions and owns early offers from North Texas and San Diego State, solidifying himself as a name to know in recruiting circles.
