The Next 25: No. 9 Deondrick Glass is Katy’s next great running back prospect
As the state's fascination with the passing game grows, top running back prospects are rare; Glass, however, is one of them.
Posted June 19th, 2017
Scouting the state’s top recruits for the 2019 class:
No. 9: Deondrick Glass, running back, Katy
FYI: 5-11/190; 4-stars
Texas offer: Yes
Top offers: LSU, Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio State
College: Undecided
Scouting Glass: The state of Texas used to be known for running backs. That’s changed over the years as 7-on-7 football has taken over the state, which is now producing more talent at wide receiver and in the secondary. Glass is a throw-back running back. Playing at Katy means he’ll get plenty of opportunities to carry the football as a junior. He was the team’s starting running back as a sophomore, earning district MVP honors after rushing for 1,912 yards and 30 touchdowns. He played as a true freshman on Katy’s state championship team in 2015.
