<p>The Class of 2026 continues to strengthen Texas' reputation for producing tough, skilled guards who can impact the game on both ends. This group of [player_tooltip player_id='2556233' first='6'2' last='']" uncommitted prospects blends scoring ability, competitiveness, and poise — key ingredients for success at the next level. Each guard offers a different flavor of production: from powerful rim attackers and shot creators to high-IQ decision-makers who control tempo and defend with pride. What connects them all is translatable skill — the ability to play fast, read space, and finish plays within modern offensive systems. These five guards are quietly building momentum and deserve far more attention as college-ready backcourt prospects.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2887063' first='Kayden' last='Johnson'] is a strong, physical guard with the versatility to score at all three levels.

His ability to create separation with pace changes and his natural burst in tight spaces make him a tough cover in isolation or secondary action. Johnson defends his position with toughness, capable of guarding in space and keeping opposing guards out of the paint. His blend of strength, athleticism, and a developed feel for scoring gives him high-level upside as a complete backcourt prospect who can impact both ends.</p>
