Brody Knowles, WR, Southlake Carroll, 6-4 / 190

Knowles’ recruiting has exploded this year in 2025, with most of his offers coming in the spring from Oklahoma State (May 19th), Kansas (Apr. 25th), West Virginia (Apr. 22nd), Oklahoma (Mar. 8th), and UNT Mean Green (Feb. 11th). Recruiting experts believe Knowles is close to deciding where he will play at the next level, with the Sooners and the TCU Horned Frogs at the top of his list. Brody is a strong No. 1 outside wide receiver and a red zone threat, creating mismatches for most cornerbacks. With crisp route running and a large catch radius, it’s no wonder Knowles has raised his recruiting stock and had a breakout season in 2024. Notably, his brother, Graham Knowles, is a quarterback for Georgia Tech.

Braylon exploded onto the recruiting scene after this spring with most of his Division I offers coming in the month of May from UTEP, Texas Tech, Arizona State, Texas A&M, and Texas State. He is a lengthy wide receiver with long arms and legs and can cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time with his burst of speed and acceleration. Lane looks light on his feet for how big he is, and he can stop on a dime and contort his body to make some acrobatic catches. It’s no wonder that many schools have noticed his talents and are adding him to their recruiting boards as a top wide receiver prospect they want in their respective program.

Memphis, Texas Tech, UTEP, and UTSA have all offered Williams within the last thirty days, raising his recruiting stock through the roof in a short amount of time. Landon can rack up yards after the catch and can make defenders miss in the open field with lethal moves. Also, a vertical threat who can with the 50/50 ball and be a quarterback’s best friend and security blanket when his team needs him the most. Whether its first downs or touchdowns, Williams can contribute.
