THE HOT 100: Williams-Callis, Mosely, Sampson top Houston's Athletes of the Year; photo gallery
From Gatorade Players of the Year to State Champs to new national record-holders, VYPE is proud to unveil the 2026 VYPE Hot 100.
The girls Fab 50 was launched last week, so now it’s time for the boys.
The primary factor in determining the rankings was their performance during the 2025-26 school year. Additional consideration was given to multi-sport athletes, college commitments, national recruiting status and overall accomplishments at the district, regional, state and national levels.
The result is a collection of the area's most dynamic and accomplished athletes — competitors who have proven themselves on the biggest stages in 2025-26.
So here are the Top 50 Boys Athletes for the 2025-26 season.
