RECRUIT SCOOP: College Park DL RJ Wyms receiving National Attention
2028 College Park defensive lineman RJ Wyms has been one of the fastest rising recruits not only in the Greater-Houston Area but across the country.
Wyms was recently ranked by 247Sports as the number 35 overall recruit in the class of 2028, the number six defensive lineman in the country and the number four player in the state of Texas.
"It's been amazing. A lot of time, energy and training went into this so it's really been a blessing," Wyms said on his recruitment and recent rise to national recruit. "I was really shocked when I saw the ranking, I had also hoped to be recognized as one of those top guys so it was a big thing to see that ranking."
Wyms comes from a football family as his father Eilis Wyms was a star at Mississippi State before going onto the NFL and winning a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Having his father to help guide him throughout all aspects of the game has meant a lot to Wyms.
"My dad tells me a lot about the game and we're able to breakdown a lot of football knowledge as a whole so I'm able to understand the game a lot more," he said. "Even with the coaching change for us this off-season a lot of guys were freaking out at first but talking with my dad he told me that's just how the game is and that a lot of times that's just how the game is so having him has really helped me focus on the main goal."
Wyms currently holds 17 division one offers from the likes of Michigan, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Wisconsin, LSU and Houston to name a few.
The four-star defensive lineman will continue to pick up offers throughout the rest of the off-season and mentioned he plans on making a few visits this summer to schools like Texas, Tennessee, Texas Tech, LSU, Duke and Georgia Tech.
With his junior year approaching, Wyms is looking to fine tune his technique this summer as well to have a big season next fall.
"I'm trying to play more three-technique this year as well as bouncing to the outside as well so a lot of working on playing with my hands more this year," Wyms said. "Playing defensive tackle their are a lot of skillsets I'm going to have to sharpen up this off-season before the season starts."
Wyms looks to be the next big-time defensive line prospect to come out of H-Town and watch out for him and the Cavs next fall as they have aspirations of another deep playoff run in 2026.
GO BEARCATS: College Park QB Camden Hughes making history committing to Cincinnati
2027 College Park quarterback Camden Hughes announced his commitment to Cincinnati in mid April.
Hughes is coming off a big junior season leading the Cavaliers to the Regional Semifinal round of the playoffs for the first time in school history as he threw for 2,648 yards with 36 passing touchdowns and rushed for 424 yards with nine rushing touchdowns.
For Hughes, the decision to commit to Cincinnati came down to fit, development and relationships.
"The main reason I chose to commit was because I felt like it was the right fit for me both on and off the field," Hughes said. "The offensive system and scheme that they have is similar to how I play so I know I will be developed there. The relationships were a big part of it too and when I went up there it was just a wow factor and knew this is where I want to call home."
Like the history that was made on the field in 2025, Hughes is making history as the first ever College Park quarterback to be going to the Power Four level for football which means a great deal to the rising junior.
"I'm truly blessed to be in this position," he said. "Starting football in seventh grade and seeing where I'm at now is amazing. Being able to play for this team and being surrounded by a great group of guys and being coached by coach Coats and his staff to now coach Buro to help develop me more into a college quarterback is such a blessing."
Coming off an undefeated district championship and 3rd round playoff appearance, Hughes is now focused on a big senior year trying to bring a state championship back to College Park.
"Some personal goals I have this year are to be rated and ranked as one of the top quarterbacks in the state and also to throw for 3,000 yards passing and get 50 passing touchdowns as well," Hughes said. "As a team we have really solidified our main goal as bringing a state championship back to College Park. I know with the guys we have around us we can do that and with that goal in mind I know we're headed in the right direction."
Camden Hughes and College Park put H-Town on notice in 2025, look for both Hughes and the Cavs to pick right up where they left off in 2026 with bigger aspirations in mind.
