The Rivals team updated the national, position and state rankings this past week. In this update, we look at the updated Rivals Texas Top 100 for the 2021 recruiting class.

The early signing period is approaching in less than 10 days, and with the playoffs underway around the state, there are only a handful of prospects still playing this season. There should be one more update next February, but for now, these are the Top 100 prospects in the state of Texas - a state absolutely loaded with talent on a year in, year out basis.

Remember, there are over a million kids across the country playing high school football, and the state of Texas averages around 160,000-plus of those per year. In the Rivals.com recruiting database alone, there are 2,322 prospects listed from the state of Texas in the 2021 class.

This article reviews the Texas Tech commitments, remaining targets, schools recruiting the Top 100 prospects, the remaining uncommitted prospects and more.

...of the Top 100 prospects, there are 85 committed and 15 uncommitted prospects listed

...there are 40 prospects committed to out-of-state programs

...there are two (2) sets of brothers listed, the Brockermeyers (Alabama OL commits) and the Greens (Oklahoma State WR commits)

...there are 18 offensive linemen listed in the Top 100, an eye-opening number at one of the game's most important positions

...along those same lines, there are 10 quarterbacks listed and 11 running backs listed in the Top 100

The Red Raiders have five (5) prospects from the 2021 recruiting class listed in the updated Texas Top 100.

No. 40 - RB, Cam'Ron Valdez

No. 44 - QB, Behren Morton

No. 80 - OL, Jack Tucker

No. 83 - WR, Jerand Bradley

No. 98 - DE, E'maurion Banks

The coaches offered Lee last month, and now the former UTSA commitment has a Top 8 that includes the Red Raiders, Baylor, Ole Miss, Texas, Utah, TCU, Tennessee and SMU.

The three-star standout is a late bloomer on the recruiting trail and is expected to play slot receiver at the next level.

Although the longtime target verbally committed to USC in October, the coaches have continued to recruit Buchanan and will continue until he signs with the Trojans - either this month or next February.

Signs point to Buchanan signing with USC this month, but the coaches had him on a Zoom call with the other 2021 commitments just last night and continue to pursade him to flip.

Rawls committed to Oklahoma State last week, and is most likely to sign with the Cowboys this month.

It came down to Oklahoma State or Texas Tech for the three-star standout, and the coaches will continue to speak with him before the early signing day.

There are 85 total committed prospects and 31 different programs with a commitment listed in the Top 100.
