In the talented Houston area, the fight for the top prospects is fierce with Texas and Texas A&M always in an intense battle to keep the Lone Star State’s best at home.
But they’re fighting Oklahoma and LSU, the area’s biggest raiders. In the case of the Tigers, the 2017 class brought great returns from Houston and the surrounding areas.
LSU’s No. 7-ranked 2017 class included Austin Deculus, Kary Vincent, K’Lavon Chaisson, Mannie Netherly and Grant Delpit, who played at Lamar High in Houston prior to transferring to IMG Academy for his senior season.
