Zach Evans
Height/Weight: 6-0, 195
Position: Running back
School: North Shore 
Overview: The top recruit in the state of Texas and the No. 13 overall recruit in the country, according to Rivals, Evans is a terrific blend of power and speed with the ability to go on long runs every time he touches the ball. He has offers from powerhouse college programs all across the country, but many pundits feel Georgia is the front-runner for his services. 

Demond Demas
Height/Weight: 6-3, 180
Position: Wide receiver
School: Tomball
Overview: Ranked the No. 2 player in Texas and No. 16 recruit nationally, Demas won’t play his senior year after being ruled ineligible by the University Interscholastic League following a transfer from North Forest. Still, Demas figures to have a bright future in college. He has committed to Texas A & M. 

Vernon Broughton

Position: Defensive end
School: Cypress Ridge
Overview: The sweepstakes for this big, mobile terror along the defensive line was won by Texas, the school Broughton committed to in July. Broughton also had scholarship offers from Texas A & M, LSU and Ohio State. He is ranked as the No. 6 player in Texas by Rivals. 

Josh White
Height/Weight: 6-1, 205
Position: Linebacker
School: Cypress Creek
