1. Che Nwabuko (RB) – Manor High School (Manor, TX)
An electric running back/wide receiver, Nwabuko had 471 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns, and 42 receptions for 700 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns. He has received multiple offers including from Marshall, Air Force, Kansas and Liberty but Nwabuko committed to Pittsburgh on June 27, shortly after his visit two days prior. The District 11-5A-I Utility Player of the Year will be joining the Panthers after his senior season. What he brings to the Panthers are excellent hands and speed and power to be both an unstoppable receiver and a powerful running back.
2. Will Stone (K) – Regents High School (Austin, TX)
Stone ranks amongst the highest in his position and his playing ability caught the attention of Texas, with which Stone committed to on June 15. He also received an offer from Michigan State and visited the school, but decided to stay in Austin and play for the Longhorns. Stone hit an outstanding 40 for 40 on PATs and was two for two on field goals both from 32 and 33 yards out. As a punter, he had 31 touchbacks. Stone will bring accuracy and a powerful leg to the Longhorns.

3. Terrance Carter Terrance Carter 6'4" | 240 lbs | TE Harker Heights | 2022 State TX (TE) – Harker Heights High School (Harker Heights, TX)
Carter committed to Louisiana on June 1 but also received an offer from Arkansas State. Carter has excellent on-field awareness and route-running skills, plus he is a powerful athlete that can bulldoze opponents. Carter will make an excellent addition to the Ragin Cajuns and will make an excellent wide receiver/tight end that would fit well in red zone plays especially, sometimes as a big running back/fullback to plow the ball into the endzone.
4. Diego Tello (QB) – Bowie High School (Austin, TX)
Tello is a well-known name in the Austin area which helped garner him the attention of both UTSA and Texas State, but Tello committed to the Roadrunners on June 20, having his plan for after high school ready. Tello threw for 2,119 yards and 26 touchdowns last season which is no easy feat given the competition. More so, Tello has an excellent arm and accuracy which allows him to make the deep throws that result in a lot of points over the span of a game. He is scarily accurate which can almost make someone think he has some kind of cheat code activated that does not allow him to miss a deep throw. Regardless, Tello will be an excellent addition to UTSA and it will be fun to watch his senior season.
5. Daveon Hook (DB) – Steele High School (Cibolo, TX)
UTSA also added a skilled ball hawk defensive back in Hook, who had 3 interceptions, 11 pass breakups and 64 total tackles last season. Hook as an onfield presence that is unmatched, if the play is disrupted in any way, Hook will be waiting for the ball to drop into his hands, or for him to deflect away. More so, Hook does not always go for the interception, a mistake many defensive backs looking to pad their stats make, instead he makes the best play for the situation going for deflections and swiping the ball down and not always risking it bouncing off of his own hands back into the receiver’s. Hook is a smart and talented defensive back who will shine at UTSA.
6. Deandre Marshall (OL) – Central Catholic High School (San Antonio, TX)
While uncommitted, Marshall has received multiple offers from the likes of Charlotte, Georgetown, Incarnate Word and Lafayette. Marshall has the strength and footwork to make a great offensive lineman. He can both block on pass plays and move downfield to block on running plays. He can block both defensive linemen and the rushers off the edge. Wherever Marshall is lined up, he is certain to give 100% on the play.
