Highest-Rated: 2028 WR Damarion Mays (6’4, 205) - North Crowley
After a dominant freshman season at Life Oak Cliff (1,640 yards and 14 touchdowns), Mays made his mark at the 6A level as a sophomore, accounting for nearly one-third of the team's passing production with 843 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. He checks in as the No. 1 overall prospect in the state in the 2028 cycle per the DCTX Ultimate 50, which debuted in Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine. The four-star has collected 40 scholarship offers, including Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Alabama and more.
Top Underclassman: 2028 WR Jaylen Addai (5’11, 165) - Alvin Shadow Creek
Addai is already one of the nation's most heavily recruited prospects with more than 40 scholarship offers, including Texas, Alabama, LSU, Miami (FL), Ohio State and Notre Dame. He is the son of former LSU standout Joseph Addai, giving the Tigers an early advantage in his recruitment, but he is the type of prospect who will be highly sought after and one of the most heavily pursued in the NIL market. The DCTX four-star is building on a breakout sophomore season in which he totaled 779 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns.
Breakout Candidate: 2028 QB Hudson Tomchek (6’4, 195) - Southlake Carroll
Tomchek will take over the reins of the Southlake offense from Angelo Renda, a three-star who signed with Pittsburgh after a highly productive prep career. Tomchek enjoyed a standout offseason, earning QB MVP honors at the Under Armour Camp in Dallas while adding offers from Baylor, Houston, SMU, TCU, UTSA, Arizona, Colorado State, Kansas State and Oklahoma State. He has great size and a strong arm. He also returns elite weapons out wide in Brody Knowles and Blake Gunter, which should help him settle in quickly.
