Five stars. Five days. Five future faces of Texas football.

Welcome to "Five-Star Week," presented by Dick's Sporting Goods, where Dave Campbell's Texas Football will count down the top five players in the Class of 2027 with one five-star revealed each day.

So far we've named Argyle Liberty Christian OLB Cooper Witten at No. 5, Kingwood OT Kennedy Brown at No. 4 and Richmond Randle RB Landen Williams-Callis at No. 3.

Today we shine the light on the most intimidating defender in the state in Cedar Hill defensive tackle Jalen Brewster at No. 2.

Brewster is one the state’s most menacing defenders, and he made his mark on the national level by starring in the Under Armour All-America game and the Polynesian Bowl.

At 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, Brewster brings a rare blend of size and athleticism.

That explosiveness makes him a dominant run-stuffer, but that’s only part of the story. He’s disruptive behind the line of scrimmage and consistently puts pressure on quarterbacks.

And then he flips sides — lining up on offense and even taking carries at running back — showing just how special his athletic profile really is.

Brewster is committed to Texas Tech, but programs like Indiana, Ohio State and Texas A&M are keeping the heat turned up as they try to flip him.
