Ffrench was the player of the tournament throughout the weekend. He's a fluid route runner with elite speed and hands. It was easy to see why he is the top wide receiver recruit in the country.
Ffrench mentioned Florida State, LSU, Ohio State, Tennessee and Miami’s as the schools to beat as of right now. He has upcoming unofficial visits coming up to Ohio State on March 3rd, Texas on April 6th and Tennessee on April 18th.
“I'm really excited to see what the atmosphere is like. I hear everything is big in Texas,” he said. “First time on campus, I’m really looking forward to it."
With Ffrench wanting to commit in August before his senior season, expect a late push by contending schools the next three months.

The No. 1 quarterback prospect in the country for 2026 made the trip down to the Greater Houston Area to compete in the Endzone 7v7 tournament.
Curtis was very impressive seeing him for the first time in person. He has a big-time arm, with velocity behind his throws, and also is able to push the ball down the field effortlessly.
He dropped his top six schools in December consisting of Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida State and Texas A&M. Curtis mentioned at the tournament that he will be visiting Auburn, Texas, Notre Dame and Georgia this Spring along with some other schools he hasn't gotten a chance to check out.

One of the top wide receiver prospects in the state and in the country is Andrew Marsh, who showed out at the tournament this past weekend.
His route-running ability against some very talented DB prospects throughout the weekend was impressive. He was able to break defenders down and made tough contended catches.
He mentioned Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Michigan, Alabama, Kentucky and Texas A&M have been some of the leaders at this point in his recruitment.
Marsh has unofficial visits to Texas, Washington and Louisville lined up and also has scheduled official visits to USC June 7th-9th and Texas June 14th-16th.
2025 4-Star WR Taz Williams Jr., Red Oak High School (TX)
Taz Williams Jr. (2025 Red Oak WR) was back on the 7v7 circuit playing with True Buzz at the Endzone tournament this past weekend.
Williams dropped his Top 10 schools last week consisting of Alabama, Baylor, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, SMU, Texas and Texas A&M.
"Coach Moore and Coach Bellamy are two coaches at Michigan I've been talking to a lot lately. Being able to talk with Coach Moore before he was the head coach has made that relationship strong" he said. "Also Texas A&M Coach Elko, Coach Wiggins and Coach Klein, have been talking to a lot since they've been hired."
Williams plans to take official visits to USC, Ohio State, Michigan and Texas A&M as of now but will visit a few others once he hears back from them.

With the 'Mayor of Willis' 5-star QB Derek Lagway Jr. already enrolled to Florida, all eyes point towards the new sheriff in town - 2026 ATH Jermaine Bishop Jr.
Bishop was fantastic in coverage this past weekend coming up with some big interceptions at safety and then making some plays on the offensive side of the ball as well.
The two-way elite prospect mentioned he plans on visiting Oklahoma, USC, TCU and Texas in the next few months along with more once he figures out his schedule for this summer.
Bishop, one of the top athletes in the country, should see a boost in his ranking and offer list once camp season comes along.

HEATING UP: Hastings’ Orogbo shaking off sleeper tag
Every recruiting cycle, there seems to be one player that comes out of nowhere and becomes one of the top recruits in the city of Houston.
Come on down Hastings defensive end Smith Orogbo. At 6-foot-5, 215-pounds, Orogbo’s size screams DI, Power 5 talent. Pair that with his junior stats 73 Tackles, 17 Tackles for Loss, 7 Sacks, and 2 Forced Fumbles, it's easy to see why the offers are rolling in.
The crazy part about Orogbo’s is that he didn’t start playing the game of football until his freshman year of high school, and he's already has become a dominant force on the field.
“I was a basketball and track athlete before I started playing football my freshman year,” he said. “I loved the sport once I started and I love the feeling of dominating on the field.”
Orogbo’s recruitment has taken off this offseason picking up offers from Kansas, Oklahoma State, Pitt, TCU, Cal, Oklahoma, Texas, SMU, Tulsa, and most recently UTEP, Memphis and Florida. Now at 19 total offers, you could say the junior is enjoying the recruiting process so far.
“It has been amazing," he said. "The love I get from the coaches and getting to know their programs is just a blessing.”
The talented defensive end plans to attend the Baylor, Oklahoma and TCU junior days in coming weeks. He also mentioned that he has heard from Texas Tech, Baylor, Houston, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State the most as of late. Ohio State has been in contact as well.
Smith Orogbo is the diamond in the rough of this 2025 recruiting class and expect his offer list to grow quickly in the coming weeks.
