Behind the pair of former five-star prospects, you can add in incoming freshman quarterback Trey Owens. According to 247Sports, the Cypress product ranked No. 16 in the country as a four-star recruit.
As far as the 2025 recruiting class, head coach Steve Sarkisian has another top prospect heading to the Forty Acres. KJ Lacey of Saraland, Alabama, is the No. 11 overall quarterback according to the composite rankings from 247.
