Last week, one national high school football recruiting outlet unveiled its top 100 players in the class of 2027 and 247 Sports included 13 Texas high school football stars among them.

On Monday, another outlet was even more favorable to the talented incoming sophomores across the state of Texas.

On3 released its top 100 for the class of 2027 and 16 Texas high school football prospects were listed.

The top two among them are both from nationally ranked DeSoto: No. 3 Myson Johnson-Cook and No. 10 Ethan Feaster.

Johnson-Cook, a four-star wideout, is the consensus top-rated 2027 prospect in Texas. He moved from Illinois, where the hulking 6-foot-3, 220-pounder posted a dominant freshman season on both sides of the ball.

His transfer — first to Katy in Houston, then to DeSoto — made waves in Texas, as many foretell a meteoric rise for Johnson-Cook as one of the nation's top prospect.

Feaster caught for 634 yards and nine touchdowns on more than 21 yards per catch for the DeSoto, which finished No. 2 in the country.

Westwood quarterback Kavian Bryant came in at No. 19 in the country and Duncanville receiver Trenton Yancey, who left Arlington Lamar after a standout freshman season.

He caught for 814 yards and five touchdowns, rushed for 216 and earned 6A District 8 newcomer of the year honors.

The only player among the 16 to have already committed is Denton Guyer edge rusher Zane Rowe, who committed to Oklahoma in April, the end of his freshman year.

Here is each player in their respective order (out of 100):
