Sadly happens to so many kids every year in the portal…they elect to trade in their career for a paycheck that isn’t even life changing money.
WR Jalen Jones had 1,100 yards receiving at Alabama State last year. In the off season I was sent his tape from his HS coach, "Rico can you assess his talent and give him a grade."
I gave him an FCS grade and recommended a better FCS team for his final year.
The next week he signed to Texas Tech...
I remember thinking...what do they see? I don't see a P4 player in the slightest. This is a terrible move.
Week 9 and the young man has 4 receptions for 26 yards.
I was correct, don't chase money and let an agent set you up for a terrible final season of college football. Go where you can get on the field (have an impact, get film) and enjoy your college football experience.

After immense amounts of prayers and conversations with the important people in my life I have made the decision to decommit from the University of the Incarnate Word and commit to Stephen F. Austin State University. #AxeEm 💜🤍💜🤍

The last time SFA was 7-0?
1995, the same season 23,617 screaming Lumberjack fans packed Homer Bryce Stadium and created one of the greatest environments in college football!
This Saturday #2 @SFA_Football takes on #23 SLU, and we need to once again #PackHomerBryce!
#AxeSLU
So much respect for Cat. The kind of person that he is, how he works and prepares, the kind of player that he is. Just the total all around package!
🆕 catch KING 👑 in the Piney Woods 🪓
@HarrisKylon sits atop the career receptions list! 😤

Stop by and see us in Nacogdoches!!!
East Texas is a beautiful place
The Great Texas Road Trip has started!🤠🇺🇸
The State Fair inspired us to drive all across Texas. Over the next probably 10 days, we want to make one big loop around the entire state and see as much as possible.
I feel like this could be the coolest part of our whole trip!
Any recommendations for places we should check out? Especially small towns or lesser-known spots!
If ur juiceless…you are useless 💯
We don’t have more fun because we win, we win because we have more fun!
