ON THE CLOCK: The FAB 50 Prospects 1.0 for the Class of 2023
As the last of the Class of 2022 sign their Letters of Intent, you know what time it is?
It's time to look at the Class of 2023. Our No. 1 is no surprise as Rueben Owens has been virtually unstoppable since his freshman year. He went for nearly 3,000 yards last year at little 'ole El Campo. Will this small school talent translate to big-time college football? VYPE says yes.
These are the next household names in Houston-area high school football, so take note.
