SPE Camp 2026 Brings National Elite Talent to Manvel High School on January 23–24
Manvel, TX — January 24, 2026
The SPE Camp 2026 is once again positioned as one of the premier national exposure camps in high school football, drawing elite prospects from across the country to Manvel High School on January 23–24. With confirmed athletes traveling in from Texas, Louisiana, California, New York, Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, and Arkansas, the event will feature a rare concentration of Power Five commits, multi-offer prospects, CIF champions, state stat leaders, and elite underclassmen from the Classes of 2027 through 2029.
The annual SPE Camp has quickly established itself as a national proving ground, closely monitored by college coaches, recruiting analysts, and media outlets.
Texas Leads a National Field
Texas talent will headline the event, beginning with La Porte High School’s standout duo of Peyton Smith, a wide receiver holding seven scholarship offers, and Joshua Wells, a poised quarterback known for efficiency and leadership.
Katy Paetow High School brings one of the state’s most electric position groups, led by Jaiden Noel, a gunslinging quarterback (6’0”, 180) who threw for 1,900 yards and 24 touchdowns. He is joined by Curtis Zeno Jr., a powerful 5’11”, 190-pound running back regarded as one of Texas’ top backs, versatile athlete Tyler Washington, and dominant offensive lineman Fernando Lizama (6’6”, 302).
Host school Manvel High School will be well represented by Greedy James, a University of Texas commit and one of the top defensive backs in attendance. Joining him are Carter St. Junious, a 14-offer defensive lineman, and Jaden Kendrick, a 2027 slot receiver known for speed and playmaking ability.
Additional Texas standouts include Dylan Thomas (S, Iowa Colony), Chad Nelson (ATH, Mayde Creek), Trent McCoy (RB, Fort Bend Austin – 1,213 yards, 15 TDs), Dre Voss (RB, Smithson Valley), Mike Brown (WR, Klein), Darren Tubbs Jr. (WR, 2028, 3-star), and Larry Dockery (WR, Cooper HS).
Louisiana, California, and National Powerhouses
Louisiana arrives with size and production, highlighted by Karsen Sellers (QB, 2027), Bryson Phoenix (EDGE/LB, 6’3”, 240), Jaden Bayonne (OL, 6’5”, 280, 11 offers), and Alex Fontenot (WR). The Bayou State is also represented by Ethan Johnson (Haughton), who led Louisiana with 102 receptions for 1,477 yards, along with Peter Lofton, Xaveria McDuffy Jr., Brandon Craig, and Kelmarion Phillips.
California’s contingent may be the most nationally compelling. Chris Fields III (Carson), widely regarded as the No. 1 quarterback in the 2027 class, enters as a CIF champion after posting 2,000 passing yards, 1,000 rushing yards, and 42 total touchdowns, while maintaining a 4.4 GPA. He is joined by Regan Toki (Orange Lutheran), a Michigan offer holder and top-ranked California quarterback.
National powerhouse St. John Bosco High School will showcase its elite depth, including Ethan Coach and Justin Coach (LBs), Isala Wily-Ava (4-star S/FS), and a dominant trench group featuring Kaden Franco, Gabe Villalobos, Luke Barley, Samson Aiava, Jameson Stringer, Samuelu Faumuina, Hansen Makaafi, Kingston Jimmerson, and Sonny Lefotu, one of the top offensive linemen in California’s 2029 class. Additional West Coast talent includes Michael Odell, Kalen Hart, Simote Tupou, Jemel Grisby, Isiah Lefotu, and Aaden Muasau, an elite 2029 offensive line prospect.
