Tobi Haastrup | 6'4, 230 | Katy Mayde Creek: Haastrup went from unknown to can't-miss. With 10.70 speed in the 100-meter and a chiseled frame, he's a QB's worst nightmare off the edge. Raw, explosive, and ready to shine. Considering Texas Tech, Florida State, Missouri, Oregon, and USC.

Kade Phillips | 6'0, 170 | Fort Bend Hightower: New No. 3 CB in Texas! Phillips is a long-jump monster (24-7.4) and a speedster (21.5 in the 200m). His track skills make him a rangy, lockdown corner who hunts interceptions. Committed to Texas.

Jayden Sanders | 6'2, 175 | Kilgore: Sanders, a newly minted four-star, brings size and versatility to the defensive backfield. He's a physical boundary corner with offensive skills as a vertical threat and a standout basketball player. Committed to Michigan.

Raycine Guillory | 5'10, 180 | Aledo: Reclassifying to 2025 hasn't slowed Guillory, who enters the rankings at No. 49. A shifty, downhill runner with quick cuts and a relentless forward drive, he's a consistent scoring threat. Considering Ole Miss and Utah.

Kaleb Burns | 6'1, 210 | Cypress Falls: Burns jumps 35 spots to No. 52 after adding improved pass coverage to his game. Already known for his explosive first step and blitzing ability, he's now a well-rounded linebacker with coverage skills. Committed to Baylor.
