The hometown Cougars are currently seen as the favorite for Damani Maxson.

[autotag]Damani Maxson[/autotag] is a 6-foot, 180-pound safety from the class of 2024. Mason is from Houston where he plays for Clear Lake High School. The Clear Lake Falcons finished the 2022 season 5-5 and failed to make the playoffs. Maxson currently doesn’t have a crystal ball projection, but Houston is a 42% favorite to land him per On3. LSU’s 2024 recruiting class is currently ranked as the No. 2 class in the country.

Film Analysis: Maxson is a very talented athlete that stars as a safety for Clear Lake. He is great in man and zone coverage and he is not afraid to load the box and lay a lick on an opposing running back.

Oklahoma Sooners offer 2024 4-star Houston product Damani Maxson

Oklahoma Sooners extend an offer to 2024 four-star safety Damani Maxson out of Houston Clear Lake.

The Oklahoma Sooners hosted a plethora of athletes on campus this past weekend. One of those unofficial visitors was [autotag]Damani Maxson[/autotag], a four-star safety out of Houston Clear Lake. During the visit, the Oklahoma Sooners extended an offer to the 2024 prospect.

Maxson shows good awareness in coverage, an understanding of his zone responsibilities, and can carry players down the field. He’s a strong tackler, wrapping up on nearly every occasion. The four-star safety product has a good feel for play development. He uses his eyes on the quarterback to see where the throw is going before the quarterback ever releases the football. Damani Maxson is a good special teams player, showing up on kickoff and punt coverage and as a returner for Clear Lake.

We’re just under two years out from 2024 national signing day and the Georgia Bulldogs appear to be the early leaders for Damani Maxson. According to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine, the Bulldogs have an 87.1% chance of landing the four-star safety. But that doesn’t mean Brandon Hall, [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag], and the Oklahoma Sooners will go quietly into the night. Maxson will pick up a lot more offers over the next two years, making for a crowded recruitment.
