2. Texas

State nickname: The Lone Star State

Highest-ranked player: OT Greg Little (No. 2 overall, No. 1 OT)

Number of committed top-25 in-state players: 7



The fun "who's better?" battle of the spring hasn't been between Texas and Texas A&M; it's been between greater Houston and greater Dallas players. The healthy competition has gone on throughout camps and combines—and the level of competition will always be strong.

There's a lot of respect between the two areas, and there's an even higher number of stars sprinkled in the areas. The nation's top two offensive tackles are from the state in No. 1 Greg Little and No. 2 Patrick Hudson. Little is a Texas A&M commit, while Hudson is a Baylor commit.

Of the state's top 50 players, TCU has four committed. Wide receiver Courtney Lark, linebacker Sewo Olonilua, athlete D'Eriq King and cornerback KeShawn Somerville are 4-star prospects who can be major contributors in coach Gary Patterson's offensive and defensive schemes.
