THE WRAP: VYPE's Top 5 performers at the DR7 7-on-7 Tourney
This past weekend, DR7Sports had its first Houston tournament at CE King High School, where dozens of recruitable athletes showed their skills in open space.
VYPE's Jackson DiPasquale was on the scene and picked his Top 5 performers of the tournament and others to watch.
...
Jalen Mickens, Class of 2025 WR, Willis HS
Mickens was one of, if not the best wide receiver, of the weekend. He had an impressive junior season with 883 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns. Mickens ran good routes and displayed his ball skills this past weekend making some pretty impressive one-on-one catches. He also impressed with the speed he displayed. Holds one offer from Arkansas State as of right now, but expect his offer list to continue to grow.
Jayden Johnson, Class of 2026 ATH, Texas City HS
Jayden "Juice" Johnson was a player that showed he has tremendous tools and versatility. At 6-foot-3, 160-pounds, the sophomore looks like a promising young prospect. He had over 500 all-purpose yards this past Fall. Johnson posses solid route-running ability and his length gives him the ability to make tough contested catches. No offers as of yet, but that should change after hitting the camp circuit this offseason.
Aiden Martin, Class of 2025 QB, Tomball Memorial HS
Cypress Elite won the 18U bracket off the arm of 2025 QB Aiden Martin. Martin is an intriguing quarterback prospect who threw for 2,433 yards and 30 touchdowns this fall. He has good arm-strength and accuracy, and pushes the ball down the field on the deep throw. He was consistent in his throws across the middle. No offers as of yet, but expect Martin to be a sleeper in the class of 2025 and see his recruitment start to see some movement this offseason.
Eli Morcos, 2025 Quarterback, Lake Creek High School
The 2025 Lake Creek QB Eli Morcos is a hidden gem in the city of Houston at the uarterback position. Morcos was impressive at the DR7 tournament showing ability to make every throw with ease. He really was impressed with his arm strength and accuracy throughout the tournament. Threw for 1,817 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 584 yards and 12 touchdowns this Fall, while being injured for a few games. No offers as of yet... but a big offseason for Morcos incoming.
Jack Daulton, Class of 2026 QB, The Woodlands HS
With the departure of Wisconsin-signee Mabrey Mettauer, The Woodlands Highlanders will have a new quarterback for the first time in three years. Jack Daulton looks the part to be the guy next Fall. The 6-foot-2, dual-threat impressed all weekend at the tournament. He has a strong arm and is able to throw a good deep ball with accuracy and looked good during intermediate throws.
...

It was a weekend of reckoning in Houston High School football as several district powers did battle.

Class 5A was a jumbled mess this weekend. Magnolia beat Magnolia West in the Mag Bowl, while FB Marshall lost to Texas City in a defensive battle. La Porte was dropped by Port Arthur-Memorial in district play.
Hitchcock remains atop the Class 4A-3A rankings, but Bellville, Iowa Colony and Columbus are also undefeated.
St. John's School shocked Episcopal in a game that went down to the last play, while Concordia Lutheran is finding its legs in big TAPPS.
….
HARD FLEX: Klein Collins showed who is boss of District 15-6A, beating undefeated Tomball Memorial 35-14 to take over the district race.
