2006 Super List - Top Players

[KT2000]

I've posted the first edition of our Super List of top players to watch for 2006. 90-95% of the players on the list right now were at least 2nd team all district or better in 2005. As you might expect, it's almost completely seniors and juniors to be on the list right now given not many freshmen (sophs to be) played varsity.

2006 Players to Watch (http://www.5atexasfootball.com/superlist.htm)

As always, keep in mind players will be added at each position as we progress through the year and get more knowledge of what everyone has for 06. These are the top returners.

You can access the List from the home page as well.

Not- List accounts for anticipated realignment changes.

Outstanding... did you put that together yourself? You got all of Seguins real prospects listed.

[KT2000]

Thanks! Champ did some of that also. I started gathering that information last season as underclassmen stood out, and continued through the release of all the post-season accolades. Your boys return a very nice core of experience in '06, Seguin.

I know it... why wont football season hurry up and get here:( .... Ah, this is going to be a long offseason. Are you still a Katy fan or have you grown away from them over the years with the creation of this site and the various teams you research?

[dragons08]

good work kt..i have never seen cantu play, but heard he was pretty good..was he not on there? i didnt really study it just a glance so i may have missed it, or what..but from what i saw a GREAT job boys

[CKE]

very well done. it is put together really well

[KT2000]

Cantu is on there now. I had taken him out of the list when I changed his school from Bell to SLC and forgot to plug him back in as a Dragon.

Seguin...Katy is where I grew up, went to school and live now after college; so I'll always be a Tiger (see my username). When it comes to this web site, I try and be as unbiased as possible with my contributions. I think I've developed a better ability to do that in what's now the site's sixth year on a dedicated server, but can't pretend to be completely without bias. I don't think anyone is really.

However, I've been lucky to get a pretty good pulse on 5A football around the state because I've been able to get out and watch games in different parts of the state in addition to staying in touch with the various contacts I've developed across the land through this web site. That allows me to look at things more clearly than I'd be able to otherwise, and I put a high value/priority on the thoughts and opinions of others. I enjoy reading our boards and the input yall have because I believe fans from a certain area know their school better than anyone else....admins included.

[AZTiger]

Terrence Henry but no Trent Hunter? Is that because we still don't know where or what Trent will play?

[KT2000]

Hunter is on the all purpose list, or "AP." He'll most likely start at FS and play some RB like last year in addition to headhunting/kick block on special teams.

[AZTiger]

oops, didnt make it that far :)

Ed Turner is STILL at Mayde Creek? He's like the Carson Palmer of 5A football!

Let me go on record and say lonny23, lonny22, and Texas Hammer are completely without bias. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!:D

How about Bouldin? I know he didn't throw for many yards, but he played for a title this year.

[CyFalls#1]

KT2000 - Excellent job!

[KT2000]

How about Bouldin? I know he didn't throw for many yards, but he played for a title this year.

Bouldin is the kind of player that will be added to the list as we go through spring and summer. Isaiah Carter is another Rocket that will be added. As usual, Judson will get their typical one or two guys on there. :)

[forest99]

hey kt2000, great job on your 06 top players!! of course i have a few i wouldve put, but probably because im a homer!!! well, just one question...what made you decide to put te byron mitchell on your list?

[Favpack]

Great, great job KT - exhaustive list -which is really good.

[KT2000]

hey kt2000, great job on your 06 top players!! of course i have a few i wouldve put, but probably because im a homer!!! well, just one question...what made you decide to put te byron mitchell on your list?

Mitchell earned 2nd team all district honors in a talented district. Given Conroe is a run based team, he got that mostly based on his blocking but he did average over 20 yards per catch the few times he got a chance to go downfield.

[badger95]

Isn't Riley Dodge only going to be a Jr.?

[KT2000]

Isn't Riley Dodge only going to be a Jr.?

Yes, he is a junior to be. Looks like I slipped up when typing that in from the spreadsheet I have. Will fix that on the site page when I get home from work.

[badger95]

You might want to add AP Brad Ballew from Westlake. He started games at both DB and RB for the Chaps. If he hadn't had to split the district schedule between the two, he would have easily been all-district at one. He also returned all punts and kicks. He will probably play WR next year to replace Staton Jobe.

[badger95]

Cool. Once again, great job on keeping the site fresh. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates the work you obviously put into it!

[toonman]

Once again, an excellent job by the Administrators; giving us fans something to talk about when the next season is still 8 months away. (I believe that Riley Dodge of SLC is a Junior next season - you have Riley as a Senior.)

[cove_2001]

KT, I quickly glanced at the list, so I might have made a mistake, but didn't see any Cove players. I know they are rumored to move down to 4A, is that why? Would the list change if some 5A went to 4A?

Just wondering. Thanks.

cove_2001

[KT2000]

I actually accounted for the anticipated enrollment changes. You might notice players from Hebron, Justin Northwest and Houston Westbury (among others) listed.

Cove, Waco and Clemens were left off due to expected drop to 4A.

That is what I thought, I knew you guys wouldn't forget about us. You guys are one step ahead of most sites.

cove_2001

[KT2000]

I had Rashad Hawk, Mario Goins and Joe Leary on the list from Cove (and probably one or two others) before the updated enrollments came out.

[Drake]

Was glad to Strake Jesuit sophomores Jeff McVaney (AP) and Davis Burck (WR) on your lists. I felt two other Strake sophomores, David King (DL) and Aaron Jackson (OL) were also key contributors on last year's regional semi-final team and should have made their respective position lists.

[KT2000]

More players will be added as we progress through the year as noted. There are roughly 618 players listed right now and that represents about the top 5% in the state. I base that percentage on the 12,000 players (conservative estimate) that will suit out in Class 5A this fall.

This is not a final list for 2006.

[CKE]

just wondering. which school had the most players on your list

[ktchamp97]

just wondering. which school had the most players on your list

They're purple and they are very well represented on the board as well.

[KT2000]

Actually, it's not the purple team champ. Red & Black...type of horse logo...like to call themselves Da Sho'.

[SeguinMatadors]

How many players represent the top two teams on this list?

[KT2000]

1. 15
2. 13

Again, keep in mind roughly 9 of 10 players currently listed were at least 2nd team all district or better last year. That's what I call LOADED.

[blueraiders11]

I would just like to nominate Jeremie Blackwell, safety for LD Bell for this list. He missed quite a few games this year due to personal reasons, but when he played I think he was 1st team all district worthy and we could have used him in the games he didn't played. He is an amazing athelete and even a bigger hitter. He can stop the run and pass very well. When he played against Trinity as a sophomore in 2004, he blew through those huge Trojan Linemen like they were nothing and shut down Nance/Handy. Unfortunatley he couldn't play against the Trojans this year and we really missed out on his contributions to the defense.

[dragons08]

Cantu is on there now. I had taken him out of the list when I changed his school from Bell to SLC and forgot to plug him back in as a Dragon.

alright thanks KT..i heard he was great and was just curious if he was good enough to the 'Top Returning Players List' im glad hes on there, thats one sigh of relif gone..

[KT2000]

He was soph of the year in his district with Bell last season.

[lonny23]

Bouldin is the kind of player that will be added to the list as we go through spring and summer. Isaiah Carter is another Rocket that will be added. As usual, Judson will get their typical one or two guys on there. :)
Yeah, Carter was another one. I just couldn't think of his name when I was typing.

[thebiggestfan]

Good job that is a nice list you got going there keep up the good work

[thebiggestfan]

SO KT you will post all of the underclassmen later

[KT2000]

Yeah, we've got a good number of juniors (and even a couple sophs to be) right now. More will be added as we find out about them. Many of the sophs and more juniors to be won't be added until the season starts.

[BigtimeO-line]

There's one guy you forgot on your O-line List...
ME!!!!!!!
come on Now, you have my teammate Justin Adams high on the D-line List, and forgot about the guy who's across from him everyday in practice...
Adrian Edmonds
Center
6'0"
306
1st team All-District

not to sound cocky, but i "know" that i should be up on that list

but n e way i am glad to see my teammates Justin Adams (D-Line) and Jai Cavness(RB) high on ya'lls list...
and oh yeah sorry for being MIA for a few months
~1~

[Drake]

He would have had you on the list if you hadn't passed out in the waning moments of the Strake Jesuit game... ;)

[BNUCSIX]

Actually there was one freshman who made headlines at Gregory-portland high school..........#2 Erik Brown. 5'9" 175 lbs

All-South Texas 3rd team DB, All-Bay Area New comer of the year (5a 4a 3a 2a 1a), dist 31-4a Co-new comer of the year. Defensive player of the week (once). He will definitely be a player to watch in 2006.

This player will probably be the starting tailback/DB next year and help his school win district for the next three years. For those of you who might remember G-P was ranked #1 in the state (4a) up to the playoffs in 2004 season and sent the 6th ranked tailback in the state to MIZZOU. Good luck to those Cats next year.

[thebiggestfan]

The woodlands has 11 on the 2006 super list of the top returning players

[TrojanHorse03]

HAHAHAHAHA, stop lying yo boy got steamrolled like you guys do every year da score was 35, boy lol! But in comparision to how y'all took it this year I guess y'all played pretty good defensively :D !

[TrojanHorse03]

You guys must of accidently forgot to put Manaaki Vaitai as OL to watch seeing as he's on your junior all-state team.

[BigtimeO-line]

He would have had you on the list if you hadn't passed out in the waning moments of the Strake Jesuit game... ;)

didn't pass out, i jus threw up and was forced to leave the field,... and hello to you too Strake

[dragonsdaddy]

the colony has a lb who will be in 4a next year-burke. and you will see some big numbers put up by anthony ford, who subbed at cb when his twin went down vs coppell. he is the only returning slc wr with any catches.

[PonyExpress81]

KT how may off your last years 2005 Super List signed letters of Intent on Feb 1st?

[odessapermian.com]

KT

If I may suggest one from Permian, it would be S/RB Andrew Amoyaw. He'll be a junior. Last season he was listed at 5'10" 180# as a sophomore. He's as hard a hitter as I've ever seen.

[alnegle07]

allen eagles

[chap fan]

I haven't seen him on this thread, but he received several mentions on the top returning quarterback thread--Nick Foles from Westlake. I'll let other supply the statistics and honors he's already garnered.

[KT2000]

Foles is on the list already as is backfield teammate Max Minor and OLs Matt Nader and Tory Dawson. Now, all the Chaps need to do is find some receivers and defense. :)

[Kleinfootball76]

look out for some players from Klein
OL J.B. Shugarts 6'7 295
OL Clay Heabert 6'4 285
DE Aaron Yates 6'4 235
QB Huntley Grichor 6'2 180
RB Calvin Palmer 6'1 210
RB Horace Gibson 5'9 185

[TRLineBacker07]

how about Adrian Pansza from Sa Roosevelt he was the leading tackler last year with 107 tackels in a very hard 26-5a district, i dont know if yall get the stats but just putting the all-district team, some players are getting over looked

[KT2000]

As I've said before, the lists are not done. This is basically so everyone else can follow along with us as we put together stuff for the 2006 season as opposed to keeping people in the dark.

[badger95]

Foles is on the list already as is backfield teammate Max Minor and OLs Matt Nader and Tory Dawson. Now, all the Chaps need to do is find some receivers and defense. :)

you ain't lyin! Look for Util. player, Brad Ballew to move over to WR next year, and backup QB Steven Shaffer to move to TE to get on the field. He has great size and should continue the Chaps recent tradition of D-1 TEs.

Also, LB Bron Hager could really blossom this year. He is the son of form UT all-american and NFLer Britt Hager. He had a hard time adjusting to the 5A game his first year after playing most of his carreer in a small private school (Regents). With a deep and experienced D-line in front of him, he could make a bunch of tackles this year.

[forest99]

hey kt, will you please let us know whenever you update your 06 top players list? and another question, did you put every player that was 2nd team all district or better??

[KT2000]

90-95% of the players listed right now were either All-State or 1st/2nd team All-District picks a year ago.

We only take the 1st or 2nd all-district picks initially because some districts have much bigger all district teams than others with 3rd teams and hon. mentions.

[forest99]

another unmentioned is fs chase lowe of conroe high school, he will be a sr and is a 3 year starter, alongside ryan thornton at safety, that had 2 int's last season

[raidercheerdad]

Not to knock your teammates or say that you're not where you belong, but maybe the education in your school should help you recognize the fact that the names are ALPHABETICAL by last name!!!!

Good luck this next season!

[DaMan]

Have 3 or 4 listed from Cy Falls, but not the two biggest names.

Derek Stephens LB - Will be a 3 year starter and was offered by UT last weekend at Junior Day. One of the top ranked returning LB's in the country.

Roger Holland WR - Will be a 3 year starter and was the leading receiver from last season. Already has D1 offers coming in

If anyone from Cy Falls make this list it should be these two.

Holland is on there under All Purpose since he plays both ways.

I don't know why Stephens' name doesn't ring a bell. I thought Darrell Gray had just about the tackles at LB for Falls last year.

[DaMan]

Gray was a DE.
Stephens is a big Outside LB. He already committed to A&M, but was offered at UT last weekend.

[forest99]

oh ya...i was at cy falls last week and met this kid!!!! he is a stud!!! saw him play a few times last year, great speed, great tackler, tall, strong....great linebacker!!!

[BigtimeO-line]

dang man you are pretty big...... what are you squatin/benchin/and runnin your 40 in??? do you think you could be a top prospect next year possibly?

hopefully i can be a top prospect, hehe i grew an inch too, so i'm now 6'1", and oh i just noticed the alphabetical thing, and i see that ya'll dont have the heght and weight of Justin Adams D-lineman, he's 5'11" 236 lbs....

oh yeah my bench is 345, squat is 500, incline 320, and power clean 260.

according most recruiters, you are borderline for anything except center. keep growing about an inch or 2 and you'll be eligible to play guard, and maybe tackle.

[ACM Dad]

according most recruiters, you are borderline for anything except center. keep growing about an inch or 2 and you'll be eligible to play guard, and maybe tackle.

When speaking of the big name schools, you're probably correct. But, I bet there's a lot of other D1 schools where 6'1" 300 works pretty well if you have any quickness at all. There are a lot of colleges out there that have football programs. If you really want to play and you've got some athleticism, you'll play somewhere.

[YuccaRoot]

Offensive lineman in the 6-0 to 6-2 range should look for run oriented programs...Nebraska made a living making all-americans out of lineman that were not typical pro-style (tall with long arms), but with shorter, explosive/quick lineman that had powerful hips.

[forest99]

hey kt...on your top returning players list you have klein forest rb ty robinson, but he is a senior this year, not next.

[footballchick07]

im gald to see some summit players on your list this year, ben, stephen, quinn and the rest of the boys work their buts off! thank for the recognition!

[panamamyers]

Reggie Butler from Baytown Lee will be a junior this year.
I'll also throw out a name for you, just so you can claim to be the first one to call out the eventual top Texas prospect in the 2009 class. Thomas Bates, from Baytown Lee, will be a soph this year. He's gonna be a badddd dude.

[footballfan1234]

This guy needs to be added to the list:
Brad Eggerton
Offensive Tackle
6-5 305
Sr. (2006)
will play for burleson senior year after 3 seasons in private school.
i've heard he's being looked at by TCU and LSU.

[ktchamp97]

I've updated the Super List to reflect the most recent coaches surveys we've received. The list now has just over 800 players listed.

Before you go thinking, "Who didn't make it?", the 800 listed represent roughly the top 7% of all 5A players...and that's only assuming a "two-deep" roster (44 players) per team.

Link: 5A Texas Football.com 2006 Super List (http://www.5atexasfootball.com/superlist.htm)

[Consol Tiger]

wow.... we have a player at every position.....

its nice to see all 3 of our linebackers on there too....

thanks for the respect KT

cant wait to play yall, i know ill be there.....

[ACM Dad]

I hadn't checked the list in a few months. That's nice to see all the Consol boys on there. For all the consol boys that aren't Class of 07 D-1 bluechippers, this Spring training ought to be a good time to show off their skills, desire and talent as there will be a lot of college coaches/scouts I've talked to stopping by over the next few weeks.

[htownfootball]

this site has gone a long way...now players like that center from Marshall are shamelessly talking themselves up??
until I see the username MackBrown2005champs or DenFranchise on 5atexasfootball.com and there replies being "nice stats you posted about yourself son, here's my cell", stop bragging about how much you can eat because any football player can have a big number under "weight" but I won't care until I see that bench press max or 40 time complement the weight.

Link: 5A Texas Football.com 2006 Super List (http://www.5atexasfootball.com/superlist.htm)I'm always impressed with the work you do but I can't give this list too much credence... I haven't reviewed it completely but when I counted FOURTEEN players from Baytown Sterling and SEVEN players from Baytown Lee with the seasons they had last year and then considered ONE player from Strake Jesuit is still on your list (Davis Burck has been removed?) when they went 2 deep in the playoffs with a mostly underclassman team, well, it gave me cause for pause...

It's a simple case of which coaches have provided information and which haven't. In the cases where coaches haven't sent us info, there isn't much to go off of besides the All-District teams and the stats available in the Chronicle. Lee and Sterling's coaches both sent us great info, so we were able to recognize more of their players.

[KT2000]

Also, any pre-season list is going to largely reflect returning talent from the previous year. That's what pre-season rankings are based on as well. Teams that return key parts from successful teams are obviously going to get higher rankings. No calculus formulas needed.

So, as far as the Houston area is concerned, teams like Strake Jesuit/Marshall/Westfield who graduated most of their key players will not be as well represented.

I think that factor gets overlooked sometimes.

[forest99]

hey kt, on your top players list you have OL Darr Nieuwoudt Sr 6'3 255 Oak Ridge listed. He actually transferred to conroe hs. the uil has told him though that he will not be eligible to play for them this upcoming season, therefore he will most likely play for st. pius...wow, very nice pickup for them!!! and he will play DL as he did his soph year at oak ridge

[Oiler1]

Your missing a few key players on your list....

RB
JJ Mullins - Clear Creek (just signed with K-State Friday according to galvnews.com)

DB
Brandon Burton - Clear Creek (big time return guy...will spend 20% of time as WR but has been 2 yr starter at DB)
Nolan Loflin - Clear Creek (mentioned in Dave Campbells last season)
Garrett Rimel - Clear Creek (several blocked punts and couple of picks)
All three of these players run 4.46 forties or better and are all 3 over 6' tall.

WR
Taylor Echols - Second team all district 2004 and will big time in 2006 since Austin Yancy is gone and headed to Stanford.

All of them are seniors this year.

Because Creeks young defense struggled last year with all the youth and a new program, they are much bigger and faster this year and should be much much improved. This is the season for Creek because all the speedsters are seniors and this will be Neal Warden's chance to shine with lots of support. 2006 is the best chance they have to shine with 2007 losing 95% of their speed.

[KT2000]

I know who Echols is, he should already be on there.

As it says on the page..."work in progress"

Nope....you had Echols on it last year but not this year so far and yes, I'm aware its a work in progress.

Unfortunately some great players were sacrificed at the district meetings (Pearland won the district) that should have made all district. Taylor was one of them and JJ Mullins is the La Marque transfer.

Defense could not stop the run up the middle and the 3 returning Sr. DB's made more tackles than picks. Why throw when you can run for 8 to 10 a clip.

If you don't believe me that Creek is loaded with speed just check out the 24-5A district meet results (all football players). They cleaned house with 197 points. G'ball came in last (that program is in trouble) with Pearland coming in 2nd.

[panamamyers]

Baytown Sterling shouldn't have that many players on the list, but Lee has a lot of talent coming through in the next few years. They probably will only have 2 seniors goto college to play football, but they have at least 5 or 6 juniors that will play football in college. I don't think them having 7 is that bad of a number.
I'd be willing to bet Baytown Lee will have many more college signees over the next 3 years than Strake does for football. Now will that translate into victories? Who knows?

I'd be willing to bet Baytown Lee will have many more college signees over the next 3 years than Strake does for football. Now will that translate into victories? Who knows?When I made the previous comment I didn't understand how the list was formulated. I assumed it was based on last year's performance by underclassmen. I was like, "how can Baytown Sterling have so many studs?" with their record last year, and "how can SJ have NO lineman when their entire offensive line was underclassman?"... Now I understand that the list is primarily based on coach's feedback, which makes the list more sensical to me...

As far as who has more college level talent... I know Lee has a good JR. class... I know a lot of those kids personally... The more that get to play at the next level, the happier I'll be for them...

[KT2000]

The huge majority of the list is based on returning talent from last year which is obviously all we have to go by at this point. We're still adding players who did well last year. Sterling happens to return most of their production from last year, so they're naturally more represented at this point than teams who don't return as much.

Coach feedback is definitely helpful (to guarantee accuracy), but not what "makes the list" if that makes sense. IE, we don't put players on there because a coach or parent simply sends us their name. We research what the player has done, and go from there.

95% of the players listed earned some kind of post-season recognition last year whether that be all-state, all-district, all-area, etc.

[Drake]

95% of the players listed earned some kind of post-season recognition last year whether that be all-state, all-district, all-area, etc.No. It's a great list! I just didn't understand how it was formulated or how Baytown Sterling was so bad last year having 14 on this year's list, 95% of whom were at least all-district...

By the way, at one point you had WR Davis Burck, Strake Jesuit, who caught the winning TD against Marshall, ON the list... What did he do to get removed?

[ktchamp97]

No. It's a great list! I just didn't understand how it was formulated or how Baytown Sterling was so bad last year having 14 on this year's list, 95% of whom were at least all-district...

Baytown Sterling's representation is more the exception than the rule. 7 of the 14 listed received All-District honors. I added 7 others that their coach believed could be D1 or D1AA prospects.

[panamamyers]

I know where you're coming from Strake. I meant no disrespect towards Strake Jesuit in my post. I know for sure they have one qb to watch.

I just felt all the attention should be pointed towards Sterling. At least Lee has a little claim to getting so many players on the list. Sterling it would seem as the most representation of anyone in the state. lol

You are well informed and well spoken. Hope you hang around here some as the Ganders, their players, and their coach don't get enough mention around here. BTW, I am a former Gander (1979)...

[Humblefied]

Hey KT,

Kinda curious to hear this one, but why is Reggie Brown not on the super list anymore. I know he was on there earlier. Did you guys take him off due to last years injury?

[KT2000]

No, a few of the players I recently added were taken off when champ reformatted the page. I'm adding those players back on.

[Humblefied]

Oh ok, sounds good. Just wanted to know what was up.

[dragonsdaddy]

the only slc mp's are the ford twins-anthony and arius. they could be a great set of bookend cb's except dodge will make one play wr. arius, i believe was soph of the year in 04. broken ankles tend to limit your pt however. anthony filled in well for him and will return all of our wr receptions this year. he won't make you forget about mckay, but will have some eye-popping numbers nonetheless.

[abilenefan]

Abilene High has a kid that will be a Soph that has had people hopping, gasping, ooing and awing so far this spring. His name is Chris Williams and will most likely start at middle LB seeing some time at RB. The kid is quick, fast, big (6'0-6'1 and 205) (big for Abilene) and will flat bring it. Everyone that frequents practice mentions him. I am hoping to get to the black gold game for a look see. Don't expect him to be on anybody's list this year but he'll be on everybody's next year.

[Mini-Me]

KT2000-

Why aren't Taylor Stuckey and Brad Graham on the list? They're returning for Katy and everybody else who is returning from the 2005 team made your list. (Not that you're a homer or anything) I understand Taylor Stuckey is a captain, but didn't hear his name at the Red vs. White game.....or don't remember hearing it, anyway.

[KT2000]

Taylor Stuckey is on there. Look on the RB page and scroll down to the fullbacks. He could have a very good season, and think he will after sharing time with Jordan Hill last year. He's tested very well during the off-season.

Brad Graham is a player who could be added during the season. I'm just looking to see him in a bigger role this year. I think he's a good one though.

[Bigfan03]

I don't see two players from Keller High School on your list. Cal Farley was leading in passing yards in the D/FW area much of the year until he was injured in the Southlake Carroll game. Also returning is WR James Ritenour who had just under 500 yards receiving with 30 plus cathes.

[Pearland1]

Pearland has only 2 players the super list ?????

I think they have more talented players then just 2. if thats the case we are going to suck this year.

[westlakefootball]

I think at least for more players from Austin Westlake should be added.

OL - Dusty Davidson, he quit last year, but this guy is a beast. He's around 6'3 290ish. He was on varsity sophmore year but junior year he quit due to lack of desire. Despite this, he is still receiving interests from quite a few D-1 colleges.

LB - Bron Hager, started and had lots of tackles last season, should have been 1st team all district, I don't know how the senior back up, Cody Porter got it instead. He is receiving interest from many D-1 colleges including LSU.

TE - Stephen Shaffer, incredible athlete, though he didn't play much last season, has incredible hands and is very physical, he is receiving interest from many D-1 schools.

P/K - Justin Wang, more a punter because he injured his ankle, has a monster leg for kicking, average around 42 yards a punt last season. He is receiving interest from quite a few D-1 colleges for his punting including Nebraska and Northwestern, but has potential to kick as well.

[mojotrain]

Westlake, would you happen to know if Brons dad or uncle played for the Phila. Eagles?

[KT2000]

Thanks for the input guys. The players to watch list is ongoing and never really complete.

We are constantly adding to it this time of year, and it'll definitely get bigger once the Guide is out and we can add the players we researched for the Guide. Many of the players mentioned above will be added because we've had a chance to go more in depth going the Guide stuff.

Once the Guide is out, the rest of the summer will be 7 on 7 and PTW updates in addition to any Guide edits that need to be made.

Cal Farley is on the superlist and he was amazing until being injured(probably the best qb in 5-5a last year). Ritenour had a great start to the season until he got knocked out at the denton ryan game (what a vicious hit that was), but i would say look for ritenour to be one of the top receivers in the district.

cal was maybe the best jr qb, i assume you meant to say. i'm sure that was the case. he should have some better success this year, if he can get some more weapons to go along with ridenour.

[kellerchargerdad07]

Thanks for the correction dragondaddy and yes he was by far the best jr qb with not much quality support returning but ritenour for this year.
You don't have to worry though the two keller schools will battle for last place.;)

[kellerchargerdad07]

Hey kt2000....Tommy Brooker OL goes to Frisco Centennial not Keller Central.:confused:

[TexasRed6x]

Cool. Judson FB Jose Mendoza made the list.

[ktchamp97]

Hey kt2000....Tommy Brooker OL goes to Frisco Centennial not Keller Central.:confused:

Good catch. I was reading through the All-District team too fast, it appears. Thanks. Centennial looks alot like Central when you're scanning a page.

[westlakechapsnf7]

Yes Bron Hager's dad is the all-american and all-pro Britt Hager

[westlakefootball]

Westlake, would you happen to know if Brons dad or uncle played for the Phila. Eagles?

Yeah, his dad also holds the record for the most tackles at UT I believe. Bron definately got part of the genes. Mojotrain, I'm sure you know a lot of Brit since he played at Odessa, how good was he when he played there?

[grayowl60]

KT guys: Yall might want to consider adding Jacques Caldwell from Garland to your list. One of the top 3 fastest players on a very fast team, as a Soph last year Caldwell played a Lot in Garlands platoon system, and made plays. 2nd in the state in the 200m. and he was on the 4x100 and 4x200 relay team that was 2nd and 3rd in the state meet. I know a lot of us will be watching....for him to break out:)

[mojotrain]

west, Britt to me was the standard by which I would measure Permian Line Backers although he was also great RB here also, a lot of the kids went both ways for Permian. He was to the best of memory around 185 lbs and a little over six feet. He won the big class state shotput championship his senior year. He also had two brothers, one was good in basketball. Not football related but he married one of the prettiest Permian girls ever. Or state for that matter.

His mom and dad are still here.

He played for the eagles and that say's alot for his game.
Hope Bron makes all everything, marries a Austin girl and they have a bunch of kids and move back to the east side of Odessa.

Yeah, mojotrain, his wife is really pretty, everyone drools over her here, guys and gals. What do you mean by he's the standard to which you would measure Permian linebackers? I don't know much about football over in West Texas. Winning the sate shotput classifies you as a hoss but was he a hoss in football? How fast was he?

[ktchamp97]

You're right, he certainly fits the bill for "Players to Watch". Coach Jordan didn't list him on the scout sheet he sent us, but he only gave us returning starters. He's got a good last name going for him too, ;).

[TexasRed6x]

Fred Porter, Judson's running back, should be in. He is very fast and very powerful. Too bad Judson didn't start him in the backfield with Mendoza.

[mojotrain]

westlake, he made all state in 83 as LB but he also ran for 1043 yards in 14 games. I have no idea what his speed was I'm not sure it was ever documented. Permian always won with small quick kids. So saying a guy was 6-5 and weighed 310 didn't mean much to us. That may relate to potential but may not relate to player. We measured defense players by the amount of snot they could knock out of someone rather that size or 40 time.

Anyhow he was good enough for Texas. This district, two Abilene schools, two Midland schools, two Odessa schools and one from San Angelo have more large class state football championships than any district in the state.

One of you teams there has a claim to fame. Reagan has beaten Permian two times in 68 and 70 state final games.17 to 11 and 21 to 14. So we have played in that area before. Also Yates drilled us in Austin in 85.

Like you were about west Texas I know nothing about teams in Region 3 and 4. This could be a year where we may get back to your area. Its been a long dry spell.

Good luck to your guys and your welcome for the genes we sent your way.

[grayowl60]

You're right, he certainly fits the bill for "Players to Watch". Coach Jordan didn't list him on the scout sheet he sent us, but he only gave us returning starters. He's got a good last name going for him too, ;).
Yes, I know. The term "starter" is different at Garland. They will play 18 to 20 on both sides, from start to finish. Caldwell most likely played as much as most starters.

[shadz]

Hey why did Mayde Creek juniors to be Jowyn Ward(DL) and Chase Hooper(LB) make the list??

[westlakefootball]

I got this from one of the kids on Westlake's K/P Justin Wang at the Ray Guy competition, I don't know how accurate it is since names like Szymanski aren't there, and I believe the ranks are subject to change since the competition goes around to different areas and it hasn't gone everywhere yet.

[markp912]

i made he list. whats wrong with jowyn and chase being on the superlist>?

[my3sons]

Not a bad list, however, when you compare it to Dave Campbell's Texas Football TOP 300 players, how in the world do you leave off Justin Padron, MLB Southlake Carroll. He was only their leading tackler (236 tackles)last year on a defense that stifled the competition. Ask Katy (Padron had 19 tackles, 2 tipped passes, and a 14 yard QB sack all with a dislocated elbow from the previous week against Lufkin), ask Lufkin (14 tackles and a momentum turning tackle on a fake punt), ask Plano (15 tackles), I know Abilene knows who #44 is. He was always around Potts and 52-0 whooping is impressive. I believe you forgot one. How can Tex FB rank him amongst the Top 20 LB's in the state and top 300 in Texas and he doesn't crack KT2000's list. Padron has been called a warrior and the heart and soul of the Dragon defense by no other than an authority on Dragon football, Todd Dodge! Justin Padron has all-state written on him, again, according to Dave Campbell Tex FB.

[KT2000]

Padron is on the list and has been since we first published it. Trust me, we know all about him. He's a very good player.

[my3sons]

Sorry KT, but I don't see him on the list. Is there an updated list?

[TRLineBacker07]

hey what happened to Adrian Pansza from Sa Roosevelt he was on the super list for Linebackers, then he got taken off what happened?
