Diamonds are said to be a girl’s best friend. Diamonds are rare, sometimes hard to find. Diamonds, Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires are considered valuable stones that can be classified as gems that can be often hidden and difficult to find.
In Texas, some of our best athletes are sometimes hidden in plain sight. Texashsfootball.com will spotlight Hidden Gems each week and bring exposure to young high school football players who have next level talent , but haven’t been heavily recruited in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex.
Hidden Gems will focus on exposing these young men’s talent to give them the opportunity to shine and aid each player in recruiting exposure.

What makes him a Hidden Gem?
Curtis Taylor is lighting in a bottle. When he gets in the open field, he is a threat to score from anywhere on the field with his 4.5 speed. Taylor can turn any short gain into a TD run or catch. At 5’9 180, most D-1 schools have over looked him at Brewer. Curtis is a hard worker in the class room and can be found in the Brewer weight room each week. Current Rating: 3 Stars.
