Notable
- Back-to-back reigning Class 6A state champions Duncanville and DeSoto lead the area with six top-100 recruits apiece. Duncanville and DeSoto have the top player in five of the eight position groups — Duncanville wide receiver Dakorien Moore (No. 1), DeSoto safety Sael Reyes (No. 28), DeSoto running back Deondrae Riden (No. 11), Duncanville quarterback Keelon Russell (No. 6), and Duncanville cornerback Javion Holiday (No. 25).
- No school has more top 100 representatives in the last six years than Duncanville, which averages six per season since the Class of 2020. Duncanville has also had the No. 1 overall recruit in the area in back-to-back seasons with defensive lineman Colin Simmons in the Class of 2024 and wide receiver Dakorien Moore this year. Duncanville is the only school with two top-10 recruits this year — Moore and Russell.
- The Dallas area swept the TAPPS state championships last year with Parish Episcopal (Division I), Argyle Liberty Christian (Division II), Dallas Christian (Division III) and Dallas First Baptist (Division IV) all winning their respective titles. All four schools are represented on this year’s top 100 with the top three division champions each having two top-100 recruits. However, the highest-rated private school recruit in the Dallas area is Trinity Christian Academy offensive lineman Jaylan Beckley (No. 35), who is committed to Oklahoma State.
