Lamar Brown, the Refuse. 1 DT within the Rivals250 for 2026, is most fitted to play games at the defensive form.
Lamar Brown (Nick Lucero/Competitors.com)
Gorney: FACT. There is not any query Lamar Brown may be an elite offensive lineman as he ruled at proper take on in his sophomore season however his long-term era is most likely at defensive take on â the place he’s additionally superior. The Baton Rouge (Los angeles.) College Lab standout was once remarkable coming off the threshold at Texas A&M’s camp lately however Brown is easiest inside of the place he can usefulness his pace and tool to his benefit, reduce double groups and nearest get upcoming the ball service whether or not that’s the quarterback or operating again. At the highschool stage, he’s a superior offensive take on however would most likely go inside of in faculty and past. At defensive take on, he’s elite.
Spiegelman: FICTION. Having viewable Brown reside in motion on a handful of events already as an underclassman, his ceiling is throughout the roof at the alternative aspect of the ball. As a freshman at Baton Rouge (Los angeles.) College Lab, a Weighty 12 laborer considered Brown on par with the then-upcoming seniors he was once making plans to signal. Nearest figuring out at Texas A&M previous this moment, a supply in School Station made a compelling case for the prime four-star defensive lineman because the height anticipation within the nation.
Iâm in disagree place to argue towards veteran faculty coaches, however at 6-foot-5 and 280 kilos, Brown has all the time had an incredible mix of measurement and athleticism thatâs allowed him to dominate on offense and protection. Taking part in take on on the prep stage, heâs requested to oppose in area and presentations the facility to achieve a couple of ranges of the protection. Brown is explosive, robust and exceptionally fleet-of-foot as smartly, robust characteristics that translate smartly to the offensive form. He has a case because the top-ranked DT or inside OL.

Oklahoma QB dedicate Kevin Sperry will end because the height QB within the circumstance of Texas for the 2025 magnificence.
Kevin Sperry
Levinson: FICTION. Kevin Sperry has a prospect to have a monster senior season, particularly now that he’s at Denton Guyer. And he’s surely taking to guard his condition within the Rivals250, however I see it to be too lofty of a job to arise to being the height quarterback within the circumstance.
There are lately two sign callers forward of him in Keelon Russell and Ty Hawkins. There’s surely a dialogue available between Sperry and Hawkins, who’re separated by way of simply six spots within the Rivals250. However having a look at Russell, who lately rose just about 200 spots as much as Refuse. 47, you could possibly be inquiring for both Sperry to turn he’s a related five-star ability or for Russell to implode on his rating and the offseason he has had.
I don’t really feel both of the ones are prone to occur as of presently. This isn’t a modest to the longtime Sooners dedicate, however a honour of Russell’s skills.
Spiegelman: FICTION. Sperry had a stellar youth marketing campaign at Carl Albert (Okla.) Top Faculty latter fall and the Oklahoma verbal has been lighting fixtures out at a couple of offseason occasions up to now, together with the Competitors Camp Order restrain in Dallas and the Elite 11 regionals. Sperry has already climbed into the Rivals250 and may proceed to ascend at Denton (Texas) Guyer as a senior with the guns round him on offense.
Alternatively, with two alternative Texas-based QBs, Keelon Russell and Ty Hawkins, additionally within the combine, itâs dehydrated to not hurry the ground right here. Russell has two circumstance championships on his resume and in addition thrived on the Elite 11 regional. He has been eminent one of the vital stateâs maximum explosive offenses the week two years, and his 3rd past on the helm is shaping as much as be his easiest. Hawkins has been extraordinarily fruitful the week two seasons as smartly and is likely one of the maximum velvety offensive triggermen in Texas.
This must be a amusing three-way struggle to trace over the season.

Dontrell Glover
Would possibly: FACT. Georgia has been chasing Dontrell Glover ever since he decommitted from Alabama in January.
The Bulldogs surged into his height two or 3 nearly right away. However upcoming a powerful legitimate discuss with to Athens, Georgia now seems to be the workforce to overcome. The house-state program has bought Glover on its building and talent to ship gamers to the after stage. Glover additionally spent the weekend with a former highschool teammate (Bo Hughley) and any other former Alabama dedicate now pledged to Georgia (Mason Decrease).
At this time, this looks as if Georgiaâs recruitment to lose.
Spiegelman: FACT. Nearest backing off of his Alabama constancy on the height of the offseason, Dontrell Glover has been considering Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia for far of the spring and into the summer time.
Refuse workforce has been pushing more difficult for the Rivals250 offensive cover from the Peach Situation than the in-state Bulldogs, and Stacy Searels and Kirby Impish proceed to press all of the proper buttons with Glover eminent into and within the aftermath of latter weekendâs legitimate discuss with.
