Rivals Underclassmen Challenge arrives in Dallas
The talent has started to make their cases to be considered as early five-stars in the class of 2014. Many of those athletes will be in attendance this weekend at The Rivals Underclassmen Challenge.
Look for a couple of 5-Star candidates to appear from the defensive back position in Texas. That spot is loaded for the class of 2014 and could be the strongest ever from the Lone Star State.

The vast majority of the state's top prospects at the position will be in attendance on Sunday including, Beaumont Ozen's Tony Brown, Mansfield Timberview's Brandon Simmons and Edward Paris, Lewisville Hebron's Jamal Adams, Dallas Skyline's Derrick Dixon and Cedric Collins, Houston Lamar's John Bonney, Houston Alief Taylor's Chris Hardeman, Keller Timber Creek's Cedric Dale and West Mesquite's Dylan Gardner.
All of these athletes hold early BCS offers, with Gardner having already pledged to Clemson. There is a chance the majority of the top spots in the state of Texas rankings could be held by defensive backs in the 2014 class, and this group will compete to show who deserves top billing at the position in the state.
