Highest-Rated: 2027 DT Jalen Brewster (6’3, 305) - Cedar Hill
The No. 1 prospect in the nation in the Class of 2027 is verbally committed to stay in-state at Texas Tech. Brewster put together a dominant junior season that culminated in an MVP-caliber performance in the nationally televised Under Armour All-America Game. He is the type of player who can take over a game on the defensive side of the ball with his size, power and athleticism, moving all over the defensive front to create mismatches. He can also flip over to running back and carry the load when needed.
Top Underclassman: 2028 S James Foster III (6’2, 210) - Lancaster
Foster is one of the nation's most heavily recruited defensive prospects, holding more than 40 scholarship offers from Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, LSU, Miami (FL), Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon and more. He is already on the DCTX five-star watch list because he embodies the modern defensive playmaker, capable of impacting the game in multiple ways. Foster is comfortable in coverage and equally effective playing in the box, where he delivers physicality as an enforcer for the Tigers.
Breakout Candidate: 2029 WR Sukora Cooper Jr. - Frisco Panther Creek
Cooper enjoyed a strong first season at the 3A level before transferring to Frisco ISD, where he quickly emerged as one of the top receiving prospects in 5A. He made an immediate impact throughout the 7-on-7 season and is expected to become the go-to target for QB Tristan Schramm as the team looks to replace the production of ATH Jalen Lott (Oregon) and S/RB Donovan Webb (Texas Tech). The SMU commit has the size, speed and maturity to make a seamless transition and is poised to put up big numbers this fall.
