247 updated its 2022s - here are a couple notes from Mike Roach --
-- Quinn Ewers remains at No. 1 overall...
-- Domani Jackson remains at No. 4 for overall. Texas has the chance to make a big impression with him coming to Austin for a self-guided visit this weekend. The Longhorns are definitely in the top group here. While Clemson and Michigan might have a bit of a lead, there’s no counting Texas out as of right now.
-- Caleb Burton dropped one spot to No. 9 after some movement above him. While the Del Valle prospect certainly earned his lofty ranking, he won’t have a chance to improve upon it after suffering a season ending injury. Burton has a hold on the top wide receiver spot in the state, but he will face stiff competition.
-- Malick Sylla holds steady at No. 13. The Katy edge rusher has mountains of potential and a frame to really dream on. His junior season will be pivotal for his future ranking, but he’s off to a strong start so far. Sylla’s hold on the top defensive end spot in the state will be challenged by an edge prospect from Dallas.
-- Duncanville’s Omari Abor comes in at No. 19 and will challenge Sylla for his throne. Abor is also off to a strong start and has a bit more size and athleticism in his corner. Abor is one of the best in-person evals I’ve had so far this year, and he could see himself work up the list with a strong year.
-- Devon Campbell checks in at No. 22 after a ten-spot drop. Campbell entered the year a bit heavy and hasn’t quite had the juice he showed in his sophomore season. Still, Campbell is a dominant force on the field capable of burying any player he gets his hands on.
-- Harold Perkins makes his debut in the Top247 at No. 30, and I’d guess that he isn’t done working his way up. Perkins is a unicorn of sorts who excels on both sides of the ball and shows incredible athleticism from the linebacker position. He’s kind of a rare gem when it comes to finding linebacker prospect in state.
-- Donovan Green remains one of the highest rated tight ends in Texas in recent history. Green is closing in on releasing a list of top schools, and at No. 88 in the country, the Longhorns need to remain in this race. Green has the type of skill to change an offense as a weapon in the seam and the red zone.
-- Texas commit Phaizon Wilson remains a 4-star prospect but falls outside of the Top247. He had almost no film from his sophomore season, but he should have a better reel from his junior year.
