The next big thing to come out of the FBS recruiting factory known as Manvel High School is 2028 WR Carter St. Junious.

The 6-foot-3, 185-pound four-star is only half-way through his prep career, but his future as a high-level college football player is already established.

He broke onto the scene as a sophomore with 33 receptions for 529 yards and seven touchdowns during the regular season at the highest level of Texas high school football. That type of production was more than enough for colleges from across the country to extend him offers, 22 to be exact.

It's early and St. Junious doesn't necessarily have any favorites yet, but he is paying close attention to the offers he has from LSU, Miami, Oregon, Texas Tech and Kentucky.

In terms of schools that he has yet to receive an offer from that he hopes will join the party?

"Ohio State and Michigan," he said. "Those are the two big ones. Ohio State, Michigan, Missouri. I want Georgia too."

One in-state school that has peeked his interest is one close to home in Houston. The Cougars were in early on him and are on the up-and-up with head coach Willie Fritz and five-star QB signee Keisean Henderson.

"First, I like that Keisean stayed at home," St. Junious said. "I like Coach Brian Bell — the new receivers coach. He treats me really well, and we communicate a lot."

Another in-state program not too far from home that St. Junious is intrigued by is Texas A&M. He was at Kyle Field for the Aggies' game against UTSA as well as their College Football Playoff game against Miami. The atmosphere for those games has stuck with St. Junious.

"It's really different from a lot of colleges," he said. "When you walk in there, you just get a whole different feeling from a lot of other colleges. They're so loud and the culture is really good."

Of all the schools in Texas, the one that might be standing out the most is Texas Tech. 

"They're really one of my top schools," he said. "I talk to them a lot too. Their coaches offered me when I was young, and they took a chance before I was even really, really good. They do a good job in the evaluation."
