Coming off a nationally recognized offseason, the TA Longhorns opened their new 7v7 cycle with strong momentum and an expanded structure that now includes a highly competitive 18U high school division alongside their established 10U, 12U, and 14U groups. The program’s latest tryout drew a deep and talented pool of athletes across several graduating classes, many of whom showed advanced traits, positional versatility, and long-term upside.
Below are the top standouts from the event.
Adan Enriquez – Class of 2027 | Sherman HS | RB/LB
Enriquez delivered a complete two-way performance and showed the type of athletic profile that allows him to impact a game on offense and defense. His footwork stood out early, moving cleanly through cone and reaction drills with balance and burst. As a running back, he displayed natural hands and an ability to make catches outside his frame before transitioning into acceleration. In 1-on-1 matchups, he consistently created separation with quickness and body control.
Defensively, Enriquez showed impressive anticipation. He recorded multiple pass breakups by reading routes and closing space quickly. His competitiveness and physicality allow him to match up well with bigger players. He projects as a versatile varsity contributor who can play multiple spots depending on the defensive structure.

Thomas brings a long, lean frame and moves fluidly in open space, traits that immediately translate to several positions. In coverage, he used his length effectively to disrupt passing lanes and challenge receivers at the catch point. His footwork and stride efficiency allowed him to stay in-phase throughout the rep.
On his fall film, Thomas showcased versatility as a running back, showing vision, burst, and enough power to finish runs through contact.

His combination of length, movement skills, and two-way experience makes him one of the more intriguing developing athletes in his class.
Brycen Taylor – Class of 2027 | Sherman HS | ATH/S
Taylor possesses one of the best physical profiles in the entire tryout group. At 6-foot-3 with extended reach and fluid mobility, he fits the prototype of a modern safety or hybrid defensive back. He moves well for his size, showing no stiffness in transitions and covering ground efficiently with long stride speed.
Coming off a productive junior season with 57 tackles, two tackles for loss, and an interception, Taylor continued to show strong instincts during the event. He diagnosed route combinations quickly and used his length to eliminate windows. Offensively, he proved capable as a possession receiver, winning contested catches through traffic thanks to his catch radius and timing. Taylor’s long-term projection leans toward the secondary, where his physical traits and instincts give him significant upside.

Puga brings a sturdy frame and the physical temperament needed to thrive as an inline tight end. He displayed strong hands in positional drills, securing the football cleanly and finishing plays with strength. His ability to frame defenders and box out at the catch point stood out in competitive work.
What makes Puga unique is his blocking ability, which already appears as a strong part of his game on film this past fall. He has the frame and leverage to anchor and the strength to sustain blocks. With continued refinement as a route runner, he offers value as a dependable short-to-intermediate target and an aggressive presence in the run game.

His long arms and strong hands allowed him to catch the ball cleanly away from his body.
He demonstrated an ability to finish plays through contact and maintained balance after securing contested throws. Woodley’s natural movement skills and early refinement give him clear varsity potential in the future and mark him as one of the most advanced young receivers in the group.

Grant delivered one of the top performances of the entire event regardless of age. He showed upper-level arm talent, driving the ball outside the numbers and layering throws over defenders with touch and anticipation. His mechanics remained consistent throughout the session, maintaining balance and engaging his lower half effectively.
Film confirms his mobility and ability to extend plays, and that athletic component paired with his arm talent creates a high-upside profile. Grant’s accuracy, velocity, and decision-making during drills separated him from his peers.
