Some teams see an immediate impact from a draft class.

The top 100 prospects have been scooped up by NFL teams through the first three rounds of the draft.

Cade Stover plays tight end with a linebacker’s ferociousness.

Quinn Ewers threw for 289 yards and four touchdowns in his return to the Texas lineup and the Longhorns beat Oklahoma 49-0.

Quinn Ewers threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns in his debut at quarterback for Texas and the Longhorns rolled over Louisiana-Monroe 52-10 in the season-opener for both programs.

Instead of previewing both teams, we'll take the local angle and dig deep into the DFW teams, and we peel back the curtain on Denton Ryan, which is gunning for its first state title since 2002. HOW RYAN GOT HEREThrough the regular season, Ryan encountered one tough game in a cross-town matchup with Denton Guyer. Including that game, Ryan scored less than 41 points on twice leading up to the playoffs, winning by an average of 30 points per game. With talent at the skill positions, the most important play will come down to quarterback Seth Henigan, who struggled for most of last year's state title game. Ryan needed a wakeup call to flip the switch, and the same thing for Cedar Park last week.

Denton Ryan is loaded, plain and simple. Denton Ryan is a force up front with Bear Alexander, Mason Davis and the two-way star Sanders, which rendered the offenses of Longview and Highland Park hapless. As a three touchdown underdog, it would seem the magical run of Summit will run its course. PICK: Denton Ryan is just too strong all around. The defense will suffocate the run game and make life miserable for Hopkins and his go-to receiver Hal Presley when Summit does pass.
