Six players on the rise from the Texas 2025 class 

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2025 class in Texas is stacked with some of the best prospects in the country. The top talent and depth is there with this group. Yet, the group has not had any verbal commitments heading into the last week of July.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That should change in the near future as players get more information and decide on the right path forward for them. Some of those players who could be early targets for teams have been riding a hot streak recently with either stellar play at the club or high school level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>PrepSoccer takes a look at six players on the rise from the Texas 2025 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["26670"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Garcia is already in the rankings for this class, but she deserves a bit of a special shoutout for her play at the ECNL playoffs.

Garcia's composure on the ball and her leadership are two traits that should help her get on the field early on at the Division I level with a top program.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64bda4b089ecb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17263513/63447970bd6bbf08744a5e38' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64bda4b089f12"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["143640"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Our scouts highlighted Belanger's play during the u003ca href=u0022https://prepsoccer.com/2023/06/ecnl-girls-regional-league-texas-championship-top-performers/u0022 target=u0022_blanku0022 rel=u0022noopeneru0022u003eECNL RL Texas Championship this summeru003c/au003e. The five-foot-10 forward is an easy prospect to spot on the field. She has even more to her game with a left foot cannon. The attacker can score from anywhere inside of 30 yards. The physical frame and athleticism should be enough to get coaches interested in her as a prospect for the next level. Her decision-making in the final third makes her a top target for programs looking for a difference-maker who should be able to contribute early.rnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e u003c!u002du002d wp:paragraph u002du002du003ernrnrnrnu003c!u002du002d /wp:paragraph u002du002du003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64bda4b089f71"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16829433/64a302e702b208028c659113' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64bda4b089f97"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["143642"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Tipton has had an incredible soccer season. She was part of the Marcus High School State Championship run. Then she led her club side, FC Dallas ECNL RL 06, to a back-to-back National Championship. The goalkeeper is absolutely fearless. She definitely stands out from her peers with her confidence coming off the line in breakaway situations. She is very good at making successful (clean) tackles in those situations. Given that style of play, it's no surprise that she's incredibly tough and not afraid of physical contact. Tipton is good with her feet and can make field-shifting clearances. She has excellent technique in her dives. I've seen her make some outstanding saves on penalty kicks for her FC Dallas side. She is well-regarded at her club and was put on the WPSL roster this summer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-64bda4b089fef"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://x.com/AubreyTipton06/status/1682081251061006336","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://x.com/AubreyTipton06/status/1682081251061006336 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["143643"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Shields has been incredibly busy this month.

Darling's play recently caught my eye as she is playing with a ton of confidence while playing with and against Division I talent. She is calm on the ball and getting her head up to pick out passes. She is playing like a seasoned vet while being one of the youngest players on the field.
