ON THE CLOCK: The FAB 50 Prospects 1.0 for the Class of 2023

Matt Malatesta
Feb 03, 2022

Ryan Niblett, Eisenhower

As the last of the Class of 2022 sign their Letters of Intent, you know what time it is?


It's time to look at the Class of 2023. Our No. 1 is no surprise as Rueben Owens has been virtually unstoppable since his freshman year. He went for nearly 3,000 yards last year at little 'ole El Campo. Will this small school talent translate to big-time college football? VYPE says yes.

These are the next household names in Houston-area high school football, so take note.

BIG SIS: Hightower's Okeke the centerpiece in H-Town

Matt Malatesta
21 Nov, 2025

Hightower Jr. C Ogechi Okeke

Isaiah Vela (VYPE)

At 6-foot-4, her height would seem to be her calling card. But when you meet Ogechi Oekek, it's her smile that stands out first.

It’s disarming —unexpected. You might assume that someone her size is a bruising post, bullying opponents in the paint.

Friendswood's Chase Richardson (Jr. G)

Matt Powell (VYPE)

Friendswood junior guard Chase Richardson averaged 14 points per game for the Mustangs, who won their district title before falling to Barbers Hill in the opening round of the postseason. But that's just part of the story.

The 6-foot-2 standout has become one of the most coveted 2027 recruits in Texas, boasting over 30 Division I offers from household-name programs across the country.
