Analyzing the best Dallas-area high school cornerbacks in the Class of 2025
Cornerback has been one of the most talent-rich positions in the dallas area the last couple of years. The Class of 2023 featured four All-Americans, and last year’s class had six cornerbacks who signed with teams in Power 5 conferences.
There are only eight cornerbacks in the Area Top 100 for the Class of 2025, tied with quarterback and defensive line for the fifth-most at one position. They trail wide receivers (27), offensive linemen (19), linebackers (11) and safeties (10).
But all eight cornerbacks have made their college commitments. And they are all headed to FBS programs.
Here is a breakdown of the top cornerback recruits in the Dallas area:

He has transferred from McKinney to Anna for his senior season, and he joins an Anna program that won the Class 4A Division I state title last season and is moving up to 5A Division II next season in realignment.
Gentry (6-2, 170), rated the 46th-best cornerback in the nation, had 76 tackles, 14 pass breakups and three interceptions over the last two seasons as McKinney compiled a record of 17-8.

Hawkins is an OU legacy. His older brother, Michael Hawkins Jr., is a four-star quarterback who signed with Oklahoma in December and will be a freshman there this fall. The Hawkins’ father, Mike, played at OU before going on to the NFL.
