Class of 2024
RB Kayvion Sibley (5'10, 185): Sibley was having a tremendous junior season before going down with an ACL injury in a nationally televised game versus Denton Guyer. Still, he did enough to showcase his ability as a top-tier college prospect. As a result, he has secured scholarship offers from Arkansas State, Bowling Green, Louisiana Tech, ULM, Minnesota, SMU, Purdue and Texas Tech. Sibley has attacked his rehabilitation passionately and is on schedule to play his senior season and build on a junior year where he rushed for 1,003 yards and 11 touchdowns. Sibley has quick feet and the balance that allows him to dodge defenders in the open field deftly. He has the speed to turn the corner, and while he likes to get to the outside and showcase his wheels, he will pick up tough yards in the middle.
Zina Umeozulu (6'4, 225): Ranked at No. 6 in the DCTF Hot 100, Umeozulu is a highly-regarded defender who has received more than 30 scholarship offers from top-tier programs across the country, such as Alabama, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon, SMU, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, and USC. Despite interest from various elite programs, many believe that Umeozulu may favor Texas due to his older brother's status as an offensive lineman there. As a four-star pass-rusher, Umeozulu possesses a desirable length and natural abilities such as a quick get-off and flexible hips that allow him to effectively bend the corner. He is skilled at disengaging from blockers with his long arms and making tackles from a distance. Umeozulu earned first-team all-district honors as a junior in 2022.
OL Evan Cooksey (6'4, 290): The Eagles will be turning to Cooksey to lead them up front now that Kasen Carpenter has moved on to the next level, and with another year of experience under his belt, he is more than ready. After observing Cooksey go through some drills this offeseason, he could be one of the state's sleeper prospects that colleges uncover in the evaluation period. He has a sturdy frame with the desired measurables.
WR Quinton Hammonds (6'1, 190) and WR Messiah Washington (6'1, 190) are two breakout candidates, and both are projected to be significant parts of the offense.
Other Names to Know: QB Dylan Chapman (5'9, 180), DE Nathan Marsh (5'10, 235), LB Drew King (5'9, 180), OL Sam Solomon (6'5, 252), TE Gavin Atkins (6'3, 220)
Class of 2025
There will be a lot of eyes on the quarterback position as Brady Bricker (6'3, 190) is back on campus after spending last season at Plano Prestonwood Christian. Mikey Gow (6'2, 200) can throw a ball using both his left and right hands, and he became very popular online after a video of him doing this went viral. He moved to Allen from Nebraska.
Eagles fans should be ecstatic about the future of the defensive secondary as CB Isaiah Williamson (6'1, 170) and S/CB Maurice Lee (6'0, 177) are both players who are being projected as college-level talents.
ATH Donnell Gee (5'11, 160) is a player who caught my eye in the athletic period. He can line up in the backfield or in the slot and create mismatches.
Other Names to Know: LB Reed Faranetta (5'10, 182), RB Micah Ellis (5'8, 170), LB Mitchell Neu (5'10, 185), RB Jeremy Murphy (5'10, 175), DB Nathaneal Foster (5'10, 175), LB Korbyn Ramirez (5'11, 205), LB Isaiah Hall (5'9, 180), OL Ryan Ratcliff (6'0, 265), WR Reid Nicholson (6'4, 180), CB Greg Gipson (6'1, 170)
Class of 2026
OG Day'jon Moore (6'3, 306): Keep your eyes and ears open for buzz about this up-and-coming strong man. With hands like vise grips and a 355-pound bench, Moore has a starting spot on lockdown. He has yet to reel in his first scholarship offer, but it is a matter of when not if.
ATH Caleb "Jet" Smith (5'9, 155): Smith got his first taste of varsity action as a freshman, a rare feat at Allen. A two-way star who could factor in on either side of the football, but his 10.57 100-meter speed will be an invaluable commodity on offense and special teams. Smith has already secured offers from Texas Tech, UIW and Utah.
2026 CB Kai Wheaton (5'10, 170) and DB Lebron Bauer (5'10, 165) are two more names every recruiting fan needs to know. Wheaton's father played his college ball at Oregon and Bauer has already secured his first offer from Akron.
Other Names to Know: OL Ethan Villareal (6'2, 260), RB Jaxsen Lyons (5'9, 180), Maduabuchukwu Mekaowulu (6'0, 250), OL Devin Palmer (6'2, 255), QB Brett Holloway (5'11, 175), LB Major Miller (6'0, 170), LB Ja'Prei Wafer (5'11, 200)
