As you'll see, the list is very heavy at the running back position. Partially this is because running back is one of the positions where great players can emerge relatively early, but primarily its because the running back class in the state of Texas is very strong for 2011.
There are obviously many, many more players to add to the list at all positions because 2011 players have only gone through their sophomore seasons. There's plenty of development still to go and there are many great players who remain unknown because they have yet to step onto the football field in high school, but this is an early list of some of the players who have already made noise as only sophomores and could be major targets in recruiting.
