Why are more of Texas' top 100 recruits headed out of state than staying in it?
Why are so many Texas high school football recruits committed to schools outside of the Lone Star State? Top recruits like DJ Lagway (Florida), Max Anderson (Tennessee) and James Peoples (Ohio State) are all going out of state.
The recent Texas State 7v7 Tournament had a bit of everything – great teams, elite prospects, high heat. The one thing it didn’t provide was top-ranked recruits committed to in-state schools. That’s because there aren’t any. The highest-rated Texas high school product pledged to an in-state program is Longview Pine Tree defensive tackle Dealyn Evans, and he sits at 17 on the DCTF Hot 100 for the 2024 cycle. Eleven of the 13 highest-rated in-state commits are headed out of state.
