Most Significant Texas High School Football Prospects in 5A

Texas High School Football is here! In this preview of the 2020 season, we take a look at the top college football prospects in Class 5A. These are the names you need to know.

Greg Powers

Highest-Rated: DE Ja'Tavion Sanders (Denton Ryan)

The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder is committed to Texas. The DCTF five-star is an elite two-way prospect who could play tight end or defensive end for the Longhorns. Flashes terrific ball skills relative to his size on offense and is quick off the ball with a natural edge-bending ability as a pass-rusher.

Top Underclassman: RB Tavorus Jones (El Paso Burges)

The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder was named the District 2-5A-II All-Purpose Athlete of the Year as a sophomore. Jones offers a perfect blend of athleticism and power, and colleges in every Power Five conference should consider offering him and he already has a number of the most elite offers from schools like Baylor, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, Penn State and more.

MVP: ATH Jojo Earle (Aledo)

The 5-foot-10, 170-pounder is one of the state's fastest prospects regardless of position. He is lightning in a bottle and defenders have a difficult time tackling hin in the open field. Aledo lost ist quarterback to injury and superstar running back Jase McClellan has now moved on to Alabama. Earle will get a chance to fill both of those voids. Look for him to get his hands on the ball on almost every snap in the Bearkats offensive scheme. Earle is committed to LSU.
