DeSoto's SaRod Baker (Texas Tech commit)
FIELD POSITION: 2026 VYPE DFW Football Rankings — Week 4 | DeSoto Back in the Mix as Prosper Soars
Three weeks into the season, the picture is taking shape — and district play is about to turn up the heat. Some of the region’s biggest names are trending upward, while a few familiar contenders find themselves searching for answers after difficult weeks.
DeSoto (1-2) re-enters the frame after a statement victory over Duncanville on Saturday afternoon, as the Eagles held on for a 21-20 win to close out their non-district schedule on a high note. Similarly, Prosper (3-0) soars back into the upper echelon of Texas football following an offensive shootout with Westlake, as the Eagles outpaced the Chaparrals, 49-40.
Waxahachie cemented itself in the Top 3 with a convincing 44-30 victory over Denton Guyer, while Lewisville cracked the Top 10 with a commanding 49-17 win over Denton Ryan. Over in 5A, the competition is heating up quickly, with Lone Star (3-0), Celina (2-0), Argyle (2-1), Anna (3-0), and Timberview (3-0) all gaining momentum early in the season.
Also making their rankings debut this week are Walnut Grove (3-0) and Rockwall (2-1), adding two new names to an already competitive Top 20. Meanwhile, Duncanville, Guyer, South Oak Cliff, and Southlake Carroll each slide in the rankings and will look to bounce back from tough losses.
