On June 18th, 2025, the University of Colorado and Head Coach Deion Sanders hosted the Prime Time 7v7 Classic as part of the Buffaloes’ 2025 Camp Season. Among the standout programs in attendance was the DEC, also known as West Texas Elite 7v7, led by Head Coach, Owner, and Founder Undra Hendrix (@undrabigbabydra). Hendrix brought his talented squad all the way from Amarillo, Texas to deliver some Texas heat to the Rocky Mountains.
DEC/West Texas Elite 7v7 is loaded with elite Texas talent, and their strong showing in Boulder turned heads from the Rockies to the Midwest. Their athletes not only impressed on the field but made a lasting impact that’s sure to echo on the recruiting trail this fall.
Player Spotlights:
Reece Baca (2028) – Quarterback – Canyon HS, Canyon, TX (@ReeceBaca3)
Baca brings the complete package to the passing game. Even under pressure, he keeps his eyes downfield and delivers accurate strikes. As a 2028 prospect, his anticipation of receiver breaks is already advanced, allowing him to release the ball on time and ahead of defenders. Whether it’s a deep laser or a sharp 10-yard out, Baca throws with power and precision. Off the field, he shows leadership qualities that build trust and confidence in his team.
Jamarion “DOT” Dunson (2027) – Outside Linebacker – Abilene Cooper HS, Abilene, TX (@__dotttt)
At 5’7”, 175 lbs, Dunson is relentless off the edge. His controlled aggression and explosive speed make him a nightmare for offenses. Whether crashing the backfield or chasing plays sideline to sideline, Dunson plays with a rare combination of violence, technique, and discipline. His fundamentals, like keeping shoulders square and using his hands to shed blocks, show the polish of a next-level talent. Dunson is a Power 4 recruit in the making.
Kash Funk (2028) – Wide Receiver – Randall HS, Amarillo, TX (@Kashfunk2028)
Funk brought fireworks to the Prime Time 7v7 Classic, scoring 10 touchdowns during the tournament. A burner with elite speed, Kash also excels in track and field as a top long jump and triple jump performer in Texas. With more seasons under DEC and his high school squad, he’s set to rise quickly on recruiting radars.
Jace Johnson (2027) – WR/DB – Cooper HS, Abilene, TX (@Jace_2cold)
Standing 6’3”, 172 lbs, Johnson is built for dominance. He has a high football IQ, understands route trees, and beats defenders off the line with ease. He boxes out defenders on contested catches and bullies through tight coverage. On defense, he uses his length and timing to win at the high point. With two years left to develop, Jace is trending toward being one of Texas’ premier 2027 prospects.
Jeremiah Collins (2026) – Wide Receiver – Abilene HS, Abilene, TX (@JCollins1of1)
Collins is a polished route runner with elite footwork that leaves defenders on skates. At 5’11”, 190 lbs, he fits the mold of a possession slot receiver who can find soft spots in coverage, secure tough catches, and convert key downs. Collins has dependable hands and sharp route-running that make him a go-to target.
Ashton Garcia (2027) – WR/TE – Borger HS, Borger, TX (@ashton_gar58966)
At 6’2”, 190 lbs, Garcia is a versatile hybrid who excels as both a slot receiver and tight end. His clean route running, marked by deep knee bends and sharp hip drops that allows him to separate from linebackers with ease. A weight room warrior and relentless competitor, Ashton is a high-upside recruit with a complete game.
Braylon Thompson (2026) – WR/DB – Randall HS, Amarillo, TX (@braylont2008)
Thompson is quick, explosive, and reliable. His excellent hands and separation speed make him a threat at all levels of the field. Also a point guard on the basketball court, he uses his frame and athleticism to win contested catches. Thompson is a multi-sport athlete with a bright future on the gridiron.
DEC/West Texas Elite 7v7 came to Colorado with a mission—and left having earned respect from coaches and scouts across the region. Expect to hear more from this group as the fall season heats up.
