High school football in the state of Texas is known for having dynamic pass-heavy offenses and the state often produces top quarterbacks and wide receivers. The top two spots in the Lone Star State are held by five-star wide receivers Theo Wease and Arjei Henderson. The pair, along with Jordan Whittington (No. 4), Jalen Curry (No. 7), Marquez Beason (No. 11) and Trejan Bridges (No. 12), have a chance to be special pass catchers on the next level. Assuming one of the wide receivers holds onto the top spot, it would be the first time in the Rivals.com era that a wide receiver finished in the top stop in the Lone Star State. The state of Texas also already boasts more five-stars (three) in 2019 than the 2018 class (two) finished with last month.
