The first ESPNU 150 for the Class of 2011 was released today. Click here for an overview of the national recruiting list and here for a statistical breakdown.
Four players from area high schools made the list. Here's the lowdown on them, with each player's recruiting status and an excerpt from their ESPNU evaluations:
55. Arlington Sam Houston QB Jamal Turner (Nebraska verbal): Turner is one of the most exciting skilled athletes this class has to offer. He is a dual-threat QB out of the shotgun spread, but most of the damage he does is with his legs.
60. Arlington Martin RB Danzel Williams (Okahoma verbal): Williams is one of the shiftier backs in this class exhibiting great feet, balance and body control. He is built low to the ground, deceptively strong and put-together but does not have the large frame coveted in an every-down, load-back at the major college level.
94. Waxahachie WR LaDarius Brown (Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Alabama, TCU): Brown is a long, smooth glider of an athlete with very good speed, elusiveness and flexibility for such a tall prospect. He has consistently played on both sides of the ball as a safety and wide receiver, but we feel he will likely end up at wide receiver at the next level.
141. Dallas Skyline LB Anthony Wallace (Oklahoma, Texas A&M, LSU, USC, Texas): Wallace is a big strong guy with great instincts. His size and athleticism are what we look for at the inside linebacker position.
