Anthony Hill Anthony Hill 6'2" | 225 lbs | LB Denton Ryan | 2023 State TX Jr. | 6-2, 225 | LB | Denton Ryan
Our NO. 1 state player in the state is on the defensive side of the ball. Hill is at the top of all 2023 prospects and for good reason. The star linebacker is very versatile and can play multiple positions. Nonetheless, his relentless pursuit to the ball and his elite skills have him earning national attention. Doesn’t hurt he plays for the raining state champs in Denton Ryan.
Christian Brathwaite Christian Brathwaite 6'1" | 225 lbs | LB Cy Ranch | 2023 State TX | 6-1, 225 | LB | Cy Ranch
The Cy Ranch linebacker was the 2020 Texas District 16-6A first-team selection as a sophomore and has accumulated 57 total tackles, 3 TFLs, 1 Forced Fumble, and 1 Fumble Recovery. Not bad for playing on varsity since his freshmen year. His junior and senior campaigns should be fun to watch. Colorado Buffaloes and the Baylor Bears have both offered Christian already. Many more to come for this star linebacker.
Isaiah Crawford Isaiah Crawford 6'4" | 210 lbs | LB Post | 2023 State TX | 6’4″ 210 lbs | LB | Post
How often do you see an edge-rushing linebacker as a track star? Not very often because I don’t think it’s all too common nowadays. However, Crawford runs the 100-meter dash and long jump posting an 11.33 in the 100 and a 21.6.25 long jump. This guy is athletic as they come and get into the backfield in a hurry. Holds offer to schools like Arizona State, Baylor, Colorado, and SMU, with a total of 7 division I offers at the moment.
Brandon Miyazono Brandon Miyazono 6'2" | 200 lbs | LB Frisco | 2023 State TX | 6’2″ 200 lbs | LB / ATH| Frisco
In 2020 Brandon earned defensive newcomer of the year. Also, another track star who runs and throws the discus. Brandon had 45 total tackles, 3 sacks, and 4 fumble recoveries. The guy can flat out fly to the ball and make plays before anyone else can even realize what’s happened.
Brody Bujnoch Brody Bujnoch 6'3" | 220 lbs | LB Hutto | 2023 State TX | 6’3″ 220 lbs | LB | Hutto
Last season Brody put up some impressive numbers earning his way into our top ten. 60 total tackles, 13 tackles for loss, 2 PBUs, and 4 INTs on the year. A very impressive season for the Hutto linebacker to say the least. He should put on an impressive senior campaign and earn a couple of offers. at 6-3, 220 you gotta love his size and ability to move as well as he does.
Grant Mirabal Grant Mirabal 6'3" | 225 lbs | LB Argyle | 2023 State TX | 6’2″ 235 lbs | LB | Argyle
Grant can play both sides of the ball at linebacker and at tight end. He is athletic and big enought to make some eletric plays. Look for him to put out some more impressive tape in years to come.
Elijah Fields | 6’1″ 245 lbs | LB | Spring
Fields is fast and has been clocked with a laser 40 yard dash time of 4.58. He can make his way into the back field in the blink of an eye and fly around the field. Shows great pursuit and could be one of the top linebackers in his class this coming up season.
