Central Texas Area "Must Be Seen 16" (c/o 2018) Spring edition





Cibolo Steele "Athlete" prospect Caden Sterns is rated #1 in the 2018 CenTex class.



"Must Be Seen 16"


1. Caden Sterns, Athlete (Cibolo Steele) 6'2" 175, 4.48
A dangerous prospect to play against. He takes care of business in run support, the passing game, and the return game in a huge way. Is already better than what his older brother (Oklahoma State safety, Jordan Sterns) was at his age.



2. Marquise Conchola, DT (College Station) 6'3" 275, 4.9  TAD
Plays like his pants are on fire with a "refuse to be blocked" attitude. Still relatively unknown in many circles but that will change soon.

3. Trevon Moehrig-Woodard, CB (Smithson Valley) 6'2" 175, 4.5
Possesses the size, physicality, and athleticism that college coaches crave in a prospect. Don't be surprised to see him play on Sundays some years from now.

4. JaQualyn Crawford, CB (Rockdale) 5'10" 160, 4.38  TAD
Probably the fastest prospect in this class. Often toys with people that are chasing him by loafing to the end zone. A legit cover guy!

Crawford's film link: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3263308/jaquayln-crawford


5. Ylijaah Hall, OT (Bryan) 6'5" 280, 5.2
Started to come into his own this past season. Has prototype size, upper body strength, and protects the blind side at will.

6. Quandree White, WR (College Station) 5'11" 180, 4.57  TAD
White is a true play maker on the field and usually has his way with defensive backs. A scary sight on the island.

7. Tyler Vitt, QB (San Antonio MacArthur) 6'2" 195, 4.7
Had a great sophomore campaign in showcasing the fact that he can make all of the throws. Should be a marquee prospect outside of the southwest region year from now.

Vitt's film link: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/3959374/tyler-vitt


8. Tyrick James, TE (China Spring) 6'2" 213, 4.8
Displays soft hands and does not have concentration lapses. Can split out wide and win contested jump balls.

James' film link: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4132888/tyrick-james


9. Julon Williams, Athlete (Converse Judson) 5'10" 190, 4.6
Plays QB but is more of a running back prospect and is very exciting to watch. Will indeed raise his stock as time passes.

Williams' film link: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4137959/highlights/323154378


10. Tyler Dykes, Athlete (Iola) 5'9" 150, 4.45  TAD
A state finalist in the 100-meter dash as a freshman last Spring. Already reminds me of former Longhorn Eric Metcalf whenever he has the football in his hands.

Dykes' film link: http://www.hudl.com/athlete/4290102/tyler-dykes 


11. Jaxon Player, DT (Waco Midway) 6'0" 265, 5.2

12. Alyzcha Hentz, OT (Killeen) 6'7" 296, 5.4  TAD

14. Vrashon Walker, OLB (Killeen) 6'1" 195, 4.68  TAD

16t. Trae Cherry, CB (China Spring) 5'11" 165, 4.5 
Generated somewhat of a big name on the camp circuit last summer. Matched up against some big play receivers and did not surrender any big plays.

16t. Mason Cooper, LB (Waco Robinson) 6'2" 190, 4.5  TAD
