Charles Hodge – WR/S – Smithville, TX (Smithville) –
If you follow me on Twitter you know I’ve been pushing this guys stuff for a while now. I came across his film a while back and was really impressed with the athlete that he is. Has good length on his frame at 6-foot and 165-pounds. See a playmaker on both sides of the ball at wide receiver and at safety. Impressive route runner with speed to separate at the top but also has the quickness to create space off the line of scrimmage. With his length and leaping ability you see he has a wide catch radius. Last year was his first playing safety and he finished with 10-interceptions on the year. Love the range he displays and again, those ball skills obviously come in handy. Also is a stud on the track as he clocked a 50.2 400m this year. But leading up to the camp circuit he was still waiting on his first offer. He recently got out to camps at SFA, SMU, Texas State and Tulsa where he worked out at WR. Shortly after the Tulsa camp where you can see below in the first tweet that he balled out, he added his first offer from Tulsa. At this point he says other schools that are showing interest recently are Arkansas State, Baylor, Houston, Syracuse, Tulane along with some FCS and IVY league programs as well so his recruitment appears ready to take off now.

Damon Youngblood – S – McKinney, TX (McKinney) –
Talk about a ball hawk of a safety. This kid’s film was impressive as a sophomore and then I saw his junior tape and was even more impressed. He’s not the biggest safety at 5-foot-11 and 180-pounds but he is a baller. An instinctive safety who attacks the football with the big time ball skills he has. Love the range he shows vs both the pass and the run. Fun to watch fill the alley with his closing speed. Has been clocked at a 10.91 100m so he has plenty of speed. He’s a striker vs the run as he shows he will explode through ball carriers. Was a playmaker at wide receiver for his squad last year as well. Just an all around good football player. It took some time before the offers started to roll in as he added Furman, Colorado State and New Mexico back in February and March. More came in after that but man when the end of April got here, his offer list really took off as he has added seven more offers during that time from programs like Arkansas State, Tulane, Utah State and UNT to name a few. You can bet, more will follow.
@DamonYB14 recorded 5 Ints this weekend at the @TrueBuzzFB tournament!
That makes 17 total on the season 👀Instincts ✅ Ballhawk ✅ Fearless ✅ @herofball 🔌 #OfferUp 🥶 pic.twitter.com/TrRPnUY9Fr

Kaden McMahan – LB – Liberty Hill, TX (Liberty Hill) –
McMahan’s stock has picked up recently with offers from Air Force, Army, Navy and New Mexico, three of those coming inside the month of May. Standing at 6-foot-4 and around 205-pounds or so, his versatility really stands out as you see him playing OLB rushing off the edge at times as well as playing deep safety on his film. Possesses a long frame that has tons of room for development at the next level. He clocked a sub 4.5 with an impressive 4.12 short shuttle at the TCU camp recently, which was supposedly the fastest shuttle at that camp. You don’t get a feel for how physical he is taking on blocks or as a pass rusher due to a lot of his film is showing him playing in space or down field so would like to see more of that from him as a Senior. And he is going to need time to work in the weight room and build his body to get ready for the college game. But the athletic ability mixed with his size and versatility make him a very intriguing prospect with a lot of potential that is beginning to pay off for him.
Had a great camp @TCUFootball Also ran a 4.44 (40) and a 4.12 (20yd shuttle) Special thanks to all the coaches that let me compete‼️@TCUCoachP @carterww77 @carterww77 @TCUCoachSharp @Chad_Glasgow pic.twitter.com/pL3zNJgIWm

Richard Reese – RB – Bellville, TX –
Reese brings a lot to the table that is really fun to watch. Talk about a home run threat. He possesses great quickness, body control and top end speed. Mix that with his impressive vision, great feet and explosive cutting ability makes him a nightmare to try and tackle in the open field. Put it this way, you better not play undisciplined and leave a cut back lane because if he sees it, good luck. The 5-foot-10 and 175-pound back is currently committed to Baylor which was his first Power 5 offer last month and he committed days after. However, since then, he has picked offers from Ole Miss, SMU and UTSA. With the talent and physical tools he brings it’s no surprise offers are starting to roll to roll in for him.
Always have that mindset to be better than you was before 💪🏾 pic.twitter.com/SQ9GJlvh0m
