I am a big SEC fan who has lived in Big 12 country for a long time and seen a lot of Big 12 football. There is something about the type of players that come out of the state of Texas…
As far as offensive skill positions they are elite, tons of great, pro level prospects everywhere…but their defensive recruits are far from elite…these Big 12 teams seldom produce pro level corners, safeties or d lineman…until teams recognize this and recruit elsewhere for defensive talent, they will always be knocked around by the SEC…
I blame the 7on7 type approach that high schools in Texas seem to run…not physical, run and gun…
With that being said…sell on both.

There’s pro talent at those positions all over TX, but I think you’re right on the 7v7 getting more emphasis than trenches. Thankfully, that’s now changing and big uglies camps have exploded recently.

A simple google search and I found 7v7 football camps all over the South. Y'all just make this shite up as you go don't you?

Let's take a look @ last years Texas HS recruits:
6 of the top 30 DL
5 of the top 30 DE
7 of the top 30 CB
7 of the top 30 S
Does not include TX kids that enrolled @ IMG.
Talent is elite if not the best, the problem is where they land. Let's see how things start to look in the new NIL world.
