🚨 EAST TEXAS HAS DUDES. Kam Brown | 2028 WR/CB | West Rusk I evaluated Kam LIVE earlier this season. My notes: Length. Elite ball skills. Explosive playmaker. CCR™: 9.1/10 Preliminary LOP: Power 4 / FBS Scholarship Now LSU has offered. 🐯📈 That’s what live evaluation is about. It’s not waiting until the offers come and then calling a kid a prospect. It’s identifying the traits, projecting the level and putting a grade on it before everybody else validates it. Kam deserves the spotlight. Big-time talent and another example of what we have right here in BEAST TEXAS. 💪🏾 There are more out here. My job with Clutch Culture Sports is to find them, evaluate them and help college programs know who belongs on their board. Congrats, @TheKamBrown. Keep going. 🎯 @RecruitWestRusk #BeastTexas #TXHSFB #EastTexasFootball #ClutchCultureSports

Another BEAST TEXAS prospect college coaches need on the board. 👀 Gunner Harp | 2028 WR/DB | West Rusk 📏 6'2" | 170 ⚡ 4.5 40 🎯 @GunnerHarp11 Two-way production jumps off the page. As a sophomore: 569 receiving yards • 8 TDs 61 tackles • 3 INTs And he's continued making plays as a junior — including a 3-INT game and multiple 100+ yard receiving performances. Preliminary CCS Evaluation: CCR™: 8.6/10 LOP: FCS Scholarship | FBS Evaluation Size. Ball skills. Production on BOTH sides. East Texas continues to produce college-level football players. The key is identifying them, evaluating them correctly and getting them in front of the right programs. College coaches: get @GunnerHarp11 on your board. 🎯 @RecruitWestRusk #BeastTexas #TXHSFB #EastTexasFootball #ClutchCultureSports

Another one I got to evaluate LIVE before the season really started telling the story. 🎯 Trig Pratt | 2030 QB | West Rusk @trig_pratt When I watched Trig as a freshman, I wrote down: Touch. Quick decisions. Poise. Upside. My preliminary evaluation: CCR™: 8.4/10 LOP: FBS Projection | High-Upside Watch Now look at what the freshman is doing. 🔥 1,700+ passing yards 🔥 Double-digit TD production 🔥 Starting varsity QB as a freshman 🔥 Already gaining statewide 2030 recognition And he's doing it while throwing to some serious BEAST TEXAS talent at West Rusk. This is why I believe in LIVE evaluation. Don't wait until everybody knows the name to decide a kid can play. Identify the traits. Evaluate the player. Project where he can go. 2030 is a long way away, but @trig_pratt is absolutely a QB college programs should get on their early watch board. @RecruitWestRusk #BeastTexas #TXHSFB #EastTexasFootball #ClutchCultureSports

I have to give West Rusk Football their flowers. 👏🏾🏈 For a smaller East Texas program, they do an outstanding job creating exposure for their athletes. They promote their kids. They post the film. They highlight production. They provide recruiting information. And they consistently give college coaches a reason to know their players’ names. Look at some of the talent coming through there: ⭐ Kam Brown ⭐ Gunner Harp ⭐ Trig Pratt ⭐ Daylan Williams ⭐ Kemontrae McGregor And there are more. Talent matters, but in today's recruiting landscape, talent has to be visible. West Rusk understands that. I’ve evaluated their athletes live, followed their recruiting page and watched how consistently they advocate for their kids. That matters—especially for athletes coming from smaller East Texas communities. More high school programs should take notes. You don't have to be the biggest school to give your athletes big-time exposure. Salute to @RecruitWestRusk for putting their athletes in position to be SEEN. 🎯 BEAST TEXAS has players. We just have to make sure the rest of the country knows it. #BeastTexas #TXHSFB #EastTexasFootball #Recruiting
