TexAgs Top 118: Updated Texas Class of 2018 Recruiting Rankings

May 4, 2017
10,802

The TexAgs recruiting team has been on the road visiting numerous high schools and attending various combines and camps during the spring evaluation period, observing the top players in the state of Texas. We've come back home, exchanged notes and at times held some spirited debates in finalizing our May version of the TexAgs Class of 2018 Top 118 in Texas.

Manvel receiver Jalen Preston (pictured above) retains the top spot in the state, while Houston Lamar cornerback Anthony Cook leapfrogged several top-10 prospects to grab the No. 2 spot. Spring Westfield defensive tackle Keondre Coburn comes in at No. 3, while Ridge Point's Mustapha Muhammad sits at No. 4. Angleton safety BJ Foster rounds out the top five.

While many of the top prospects from our February list held steady in our May update, there were several big movers up the rankings after impressive showings in the spring.  Here are a few headliners who made a big climb up the charts:

Keontay Ingram (No. 26) - The big back from Carthage has performed well at camps this spring and has shown to have the most well-rounded skill set at the running back position. His combination of quick feet, size, patience to wait for the hole and vision are all assets that have separated Ingram from the rest of the ball-carriers in the state.

Leon O'Neal (No. 8) - We all knew he was a big hitter, but he has shown tremendous range at camps and during the 7-on-7 season that makes him an elite prospect.

This one should come as no surprise. Bush had a phenomenal spring on the camp circuit and has been working hard to improve his feet and change of direction.
Tommy Bush (No. 22) - This one should come as no surprise. He had a phenomenal spring on the camp circuit and has been working hard to improve his feet and change of direction. His combination of size and his ability to separate from the defender make him a very valuable prospect for any major D-I program. He's also had a very strong track season.

Overall, the 2018 class is proving to have extraordinary depth in the mid-to-low four star range of prospects. An all-time high of 50 players have been graded at 90 or better (four-stars). Of those 50, 16 players have already given a verbal commitment to a school nine months before signing day. Of the top 100 prospects on the latest TexAgs recruiting list, 32 have chosen a school with nine months until Signing Day 2018.
