NFL veteran Nick Temple (left) worked with Conference USA target Andrew Paul (right), among many others, at the Blue-Grey All-American Combine (West Texas Regional).
Similar to year’s past, the Blue-Grey All-American Combine (West Texas) at UT Permian Basin had its share of recruits, some well-known prospects and other under-the-radar types. In the end, NFL veteran Sheldon Jackson had nothing but good things to say about the group as a whole.
There were many scholarship-worthy prospects in attendance and numerous others fit in that category. Below is a recap of some of the top performers and each is now considered as an All-American Bowl candidate for one of the upcoming games later on this year (details to follow).
Kai Hilliard, 2026, QB, Sanderson (TX): The 6’1 and 175-pounder was the top player at his position, The race wasn’t even close, truthfully.
Kemyd Faciane, 2027, RB, Wink (TX): In time, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Texas Tech high on the wish list of the 5’8 and 185-pounder.
Kobie Walker, 2028, RB, Crane (TX): The 5-11 and 170-pounder could be a hot commodity in recruiting circles by the time he’s a senior.
Keaton Lee, 2026, WR, Lubbock Christian (TX): The 6’2 and 185-pounder has what it takes to play at the next level, no doubt about it.
Jemar Richey, 2026, OL, Coronado (TX): The 6’3 and 285-pounder impressed throughout and dominated down in the trenches.
Cadyn Bishop, 2026, LB, Midland Christian (TX): On the official roster, the 6’2 and 200-pounder has been in contact with Tulsa.
Prince Vital, 2026, LB, Socorro (TX): On the official roster, the 5’10 and 200-pounder could land with a team such as North Texas.
Andrew Paul, 2026, DL, Calallen (TX): A Conference USA target, the 6’5 and 230-pounder did a little bit of everything. All of it well.
Kobe Valenzuela, 2028, DL, Wink (TX): The 6’2 and 245-pounder can play on both sides of the ball, but might find a home on defense.
