KEENAN ALLEN - ATH 6'2 - 182, Greensboro (N.C.) Northern Guilford |
Overview: Allen is an acrobatic receiver who may be a better athlete than a player at this point in time.

| PROFILE: KEENAN ALLEN - |
AARON BENSON - LB 6'2 - 205, Cedar Hill, Texas |
Overview: Benson is one of a long list of talented Texas linebackers, the Sooners like him early but he hails from a school that has been good to Texas in recent years.

| PROFILE: AARON BENSON - |
MACK BROWN - RB 5'11- 185, Lithonia (Ga.) Martin Luther King |
Overview: Brown is one of the SEC area's top backs and among the fastest running backs in the entire country, he's also one of Oklahoma's most recent offers.

Overview: Davis is part of a seriously talented group in Skyline's class of 2010 and is one of Texas' top big-play receiving prospects.

| PROFILE: MIKE DAVIS - |
AHMAD DIXON - S 6'1 - 194, Waco (Texas) Midway |
Overview: Dixon is quite possibly the top safety prospect in Texas as both a great hitter as well as having truly elite speed for the safety position.

| PROFILE: AHMAD DIXON - |
EGO FERGUSON - DE 6'4 - 260, Frederick (Mary.) St. John's Catholic Prep |
Overview: Ferguson is a player that some have talked about as a five-star prospect though it's still a bit unclear whether he will end up at either defensive end or defensive tackle.

| PROFILE: JACKSON JEFFCOAT - |
LUKE JOECKEL - OL 6'6 - 280, Arlington, Texas |
Overview: Joeckel is one of a long list of talented offensive linemen in Texas this year but was among the first to get a Sooner offer.

SHAUN LEWIS - LB 6'2 - 210, Missouri City (Texas) Ft. Bend Hightower |
