OTF on the Road | San Marcos vs. Lake Travis


Recommended Posts

  • Moderators

I was on the road checking out a pair of central Texas programs with some talent last night – San Marcos and Lake Travis – for a little Thursday night action. 

It was not a close game and it looks like the drought may be over for Lake Travis in terms of developing some high-level D1 talent. While San Marcos will have to wait a year to get their best talent eligible for varsity play following the UIL's decision to suspend ten students for move-in violations.

2026 EDGE Buck Carter – Austin (TX) Lake Travis

Carter was out this week with an ankle sprain, but he will visit Texas this weekend for their game against ULM. The 6-foot-6 edge rusher is off to a scorching start this season for Lake Travis and he was rewarded with an offer from TCU last week. Carter is very well put together and his tape showcases his ability to bend around the corner and get after the quarterback. 

Other trips this season might include TCU, Baylor and Kansas for games during the fall. I am not necessarily expecting an offer to come this week, but I do believe Carter is a candidate to receive an offer down the road. Carter holds offers from Tulsa, UNLV, TCU and North Texas early on.

2026 DL Ben Duncum – Austin (TX) Lake Travis 

The son of former Longhorn Duane Duncum, the Lake Travis junior has been able to string together a fine start to the season as well. Duncum holds a Tulsa offer at the moment, though Texas brought him onto campus last week for the UTSA game. Lake Travis played Duncum more over the center on Thursday night, to my surprise a bit. He currently stands 6-foot-6 and 255 pounds at the moment.

2026 LB Izayah Young – San Marcos (TX) High

I was able to catch up with the San Marcos defensive star during the game last night. Young is on the JV this season after the UIL ruled he be ineligible after moving-in. Young holds eight offers right now – Tennessee, Baylor, North Texas, Texas State and UTSA among the notable. Young says he has been in contact with Texas recently and is a maybe to visit for the game this weekend.

Young has also attended the Elite Camp at Texas the past two summers and is hoping his senior season will showcase the film necessary to earn an offer from other SEC programs.

2026 WR Henry Harris – San Marcos (TX) High

Harris is out for the season after tearing his ACL in the spring game, however, he is one of the top area wide receivers in the 2026 class. Harris has visited Austin in the past and was a top WR in attendance for the Elite 11 when it toured in Austin. The 6–3 wide receiver holds offers from Texas Tech, Baylor, Cal and several others.

Worth nothing the San Marcos JV team has won all three games 50–0 this season thanks to their influx of D1 talent that is ineligible for this season.

Young has 5-7 more offers waiting for him, but schools are holding off with varsity tape for obvious reasons.

Worth mentioning here as we are discussing some Austin area prospects, 2025 Pflugerville Weiss CB Jason Stokes attended the season opener for Texas against Colorado State.

Stokes told me has yet to hear from Texas too much, but this is a name to file away as more and more tape comes out from his senior season.
