Highest-Rated 

2025 QB Adam Schobel (Columbus): The DCTF four-star will be a four-year varsity starter who enters his senior season with 7,668 passing yards and 95 touchdowns. With a talented cast around him, including his cousin and fellow TCU DE/TE commit John Schobel and Air Force ATH commit Grayson Rigdon, the 6-foot-5, 190-pound TCU commit has his sights set firmly on a state championship ring. 

Top Underclassman: 

2026 WR Dequane Prevo (Liberty-Eylau): The 5-foot-10, 160-pound speed burner has already collected 25 scholarship offers, including Baylor, Houston, TCU, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oregon, Penn State, USC and more. Prevo has been named to DCTF's 2026 Five-Star Watchlist. 

Breakout Candidate:

2026 WR X'zavier Barnett (Yoakum): The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder quickly passes the eyeball test as he is one of the most impressive physical specimens in Texas, regardless of classification. Barnett has early offers from Houston, SMU and UTSA, but his athletic profile (he already holds the school record in the 200-meter dash) and size combination suggest he is ready for a breakout on the national recruiting scene.
