The 2025 edition of Dave Campbell's Rising is big. Really big.
Dave Campbell’s Texas Football revealed the cover of its 2025 recruiting edition on Monday — the 66th annual “Bible of Texas Football” — featuring Mansfield Lake Ridge five-star offensive lineman Felix Ojo.
The image was shot by Waxahachie-based photographer Sherry Pate, and the cover was designed by Dallas-based design and marketing firm TractorBeam. The food styling was done by Dallas-based stylist Mercedes Evans.
