Development matters. 5* athletes are great, but sometimes the staff needs to point to a 3* success story and show a high schooler how they developed them into being a guy who plays on Sundays.

 

So, now that 3* success stories like Jaylan Ford and T’Vondre Sweat are off to the NFL, who is Texas’ most impactful 3* (high school rated) on the roster? Some examples below:

- Barryn Sorrell, DE

- Hayden Connor, OL

- Gunnar Helm, TE

- Jake Majors, C

- Ethan Burke, DE

Was derrion guillette a 3 star? I know Bobby has been talking about he’s a guy to watch for this year

I love guys who are ranked 3 star yet have offers from major programs across the country. But there are different types of 3 stars IMO.

There are the undervalued ones at the outset, like Ethan Burke who de-committed from Michigan to sign with Texas. That's two of the four programs in the CFP. They just missed on him.

There are guys who have literally maximized themselves into better prospects than they were, like Sorrell, Helm and Majors.

Conner is interesting because he has some ability but also was a bit of a guess for some schools.

Gullette was a 4-star by all services prior to his injury senior season.

Majors would be my answer. The QB of the OL – all communication goes through him. Leader in the offensive room as well. He is a key cog in the offensive machine Texas is working with.
