Prospect watch: Five players to keep an eye on in the regional semifinals

Tre SiggersAth, Duncanville5-10, 185 Quick and powerful, Duncanville’s Tre Siggers could play multiple positions at the college level. Siggers is currently used in a variety of ways on offense. He leads the team with 68 receptions for 729 yards and three touchdowns while adding 46 rushes for 395 yards and four touchdowns. Siggers is a threat whenever he touches the football. Texas Tech and Louisville headline his offer list. A three-star talent who could play slot, running back or in the defensive secondary, Siggers could put up big numbers in the right college system. Joshua Moore (2018)WR, Yoakum 6-3, 173 Ninety minutes east of San Antonio reside two of the best juniors in the state. At little Class 3A Division I Yoakum, Joshua and Jordan Moore are racking up offers, stats and wins. Joshua is considered the sure-fire prospect but comparisons could be found with current Texas twins Armanti and D’Onta Foreman. Armanti was the higher rated prospect out of high school, but it is now D’Onta taking up most of the headlines. Joshua Moore is a four-star player with countless P5 offers. His physical gifts give him advantage against fellow 3A competition. Jordan, who is two inches shorter and without a solidified college position, is overlooked by some. He’s a playmaker, though, and just needs to find the right system and position to fit his immense talent.Kedrick JamesTE, Waco La Vega6-5, 245 Tight ends don’t get the recognition the position once held. With more teams moving towards the spread, traditional tight ends are replaced with slot receivers. The few remaining are H-Back hybrids that can play a combination of fullback, tight end and slot. James is physically imposing and gifted with unique athleticism and soft hands for a prep athlete of his size. James is a bit of a throwback, so it is a natural fit to see him committed to Alabama. He might be one of those rare high school players who make a bigger impact at the college level than he has in high school. That’s not to say his role isn’t pivotal to the defending champs. His position simply doesn’t lend itself to the type of receiving numbers we now see with modern offenses. James might be the best blocking tight end in the state and a future at defensive end isn’t out of the question. Cedarian LambWR, Richmond Foster6-3, 189 Lamb is arguably the best wide receiver in the state. At 6-foot-3 and 189 pounds, Lamb glides through the opposing secondary. His long stride and precise route-running makes it appear as if Lamb isn’t running full speed until he’s separating himself past defenders. It looks effortless. Lamb high-points a football, using his height advantage like a basketball player securing a rebound. He’s also a willing blocker, which isn’t always common in four-star wide receivers. Lamb comes out of a pass-friendly system and could make an immediate impact as a true freshman. Kennedy BrooksRB, Mansfield6-0, 197 Brooks has rushed for a total of 6,000 yards as a junior and a senior. That’s not a mathematical error. That’s a real stat. I promise. I looked it up a few times. After rushing for 3,522 yards as a junior, Brooks has added 2,651 yards on 251 carries as a junior. And Brooks does this in Class 6A. His Mansfield team will face a test this week in the form of Cedar Hill. There is no doubt the Longhorns will be loading up the box to take away Brooks, but so does everyone else. He’s an opera of offensive excess and a future all-conference talent in college. He blends power, speed, elusiveness and instinct.
