By Jackson DiPasquale
Jaylen Addai has been a star since he arrived at Shadow Creek and now in his junior season, he is ranked as the number one player in the state of Texas and number one wide receiver in the country. Addai holds 48 total offers to date and has seen his recruitment really heat up as schools are starting to emerge from the pack.
Alabama, LSU, Miami, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M and Notre Dame are all schools heavily in the mix for Addai and will all look to take a top position heading into the offseason.

TK Gaines is the top 2028 quarterback prospect in H-Town and has proven that so far this season leading Waller to a 6-1 record, throwing for 1,999 yards and 24 touchdowns while rushing for 521 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Gaines went into the season holding 23 offers and since August, he has gained 4 more offer from the likes of West Virginia, Missouri, LSU and Florida State. Oregon, Houston and LSU are the teams to watch early on as a commitment could be coming in the near future.

Ranked as the No. 2 linebacker in the country according to 247Sports, Hines will be one of the most sought after recruits in the country and should see his offer list only grow more and will be a player to keep an eye on over the next two years.

Is Guy the next big-time star out of Willis high school? That looks to be the case and expect to see more offers roll in for the talented linebacker following a full season of varsity tape.
No. 5 - 2029 Cypress Falls WR Karzell Davis
By Jackson DiPasquale

Davis holds 24 offers as of today from the likes of Miami, Oregon, LSU, Alabama and Ole Miss and most recently picked up offers from Texas, Baylor, Texas A&M and Arkansas. Davis is emerging as one of the top wide receiver prospects in not only Houston but in the entire state of Texas.
Through the first seven games of his sophomore season, Davis has recorded 695 all purpose yards with 5 touchdowns receiving and his play on the field should only garner more attention from Division One programs. Expect to see his offer list grow over the offseason after an impressive sophomore season.
BREAKING: 2027 Manvel Four-Star S Karnell 'Greedy' James Jr. Flips his commitment from Texas to LSU
The decision to flip his commitment to LSU came down to the development James can receive from legendary Tigers defensive backs coach Corey Raymond.
"It was really the developmental piece with coach Raymond," James said on why he decided to flip his commitment. "LSU is DBU and he's the reason for it. Also LSU's culture both on and off the field is great and that's a place I feel I can grow both as a player and a man while being developed."

While the development aspect of playing for a program like LSU was a big factor in James' commitment, the family culture and relationships with the staff played a factor when he went on his official visit as well.
"Really the staff in general you could tell they have a close family feel type of staff and they care about the players," he said. "Also coach Raymond is not only a great coach but a great person and he keeps it real with you."
With his commitment to LSU now over, James tells VYPE he has shutdown his recruitment and is ready to focus in on his upcoming senior season at Manvel.
"It was a really hard choice but I'm happy with my choice and thankful for the coaches and ready to focus on my senior season," James said. "I feel like we've got a really great pieces this year especially on defense and I'm looking to have more production this season personally."
While his focus now turns to his upcoming senior season Greedy James had one final message to LSU fans on his commitment.
"Y'all are getting a dog," he said. "I'm a hard worker, I'm always going to keep my head down and work and definitely going to show who I am on the field."
