Jamarion Phillips

Just to put a bow on it, here's a few quick thoughts from the Texas State Championships SOC-Randle was my favorite game. The back and forth. The drama. All the second guessing and explosive plays. Then it comes down to a field goal attempt as time ticks to zero. Question some calls and some coaching decisions if you will, but Randle got the job done.Austin Vandegrift was my surprise performance mainly because I didn't know a lot about them coming in and they took it too a very good Southlake Carroll team.North Crowley was my favorite performance. I saw North Crowley three times going into the weekend and even I was surprised by the speed and quickness. It was like they were playing in fast forward. Regardless they were on a mission, and they handled business in a big way. Ridiculously impressive all the way around Texas A&M signee and Richmond Randle DL Chace Sims lived up to the hype. He made plays up and down the line of scrimmage and was a constant disruption in the trenches. Brauny and I were both talking about him needing another bump on our list.Carthage 2026 LB DaQuives Beck has been on my radar but the last two weekends have been incredibly impressive. He took home Defensive MVP honors of the championship game and looked good doing it. SOC 2026 LB Jamarion Phillips also came through big with plays in all areas of the field. North Crowley 2025 RB Cornelius Warren is going to be a hot prospect in January. He was a long time UNLV commit and he was primed to sign with the Runnin' Rebels in December until Coach Odom took the Purdue job. He has always had some serious wheels and he showed them last night to the tune of 217 yards and a TD on 23 carries. He was shot out of a canon on his 75-yard TD run. I have a feeling he is going to see interest really increase in the late period especially after last night. North Crowley 2025 WR Quentin Gibson was electric all season and he finished with a bang. He came into the season as a relative unknown, and he took the state of Texas by storm. Last night he finished with seven receptions for 181 yards and 3 TDs on his way to offensive MVP honors. His acrobatic receptions, all around shiftiness and playmaking ability after the catch were on full display from play one all the way through. Colorado got a good one. Not enough is being made of North Crowley QB Chris Jimerson. Considered a defensive prospect by most going into the season, his height is one reason and he had work to do as a passer. Athleticism though was never in question, and this fall he proved time and time again he can stick at QB on the college level. He bet on himself and chose UNT and the Mean Green are looking really smart. Last night he was 14 of 23 for 299 yards and 4 TDs with seven carries for 63 yards and another score. If Richmond Randle 2027 RB Landen Williams-Callis was not on your radar you better wake the heck up because he is a player. This should not come as news to those who have been paying attention to TexAgs. He has been on Texas A&M's radar and many other colleges since before his freshman year and he has some serious juice. He also has a stout build, a powerful lower half, and if his speed doesn't get you his power can hurt you too. Do not forget the show Carthage 2026 RB KJ Edwards had on Friday. He broke open the game against Waco La Vega with a couple of big TD runs. He finished 18 carries for 188 yards and two touchdowns. Look for Columbus 2025 QB and TCU commit Adam Schobel to rise up the rankings as well as Celina 2026 QB Bowe Bentley. Also go ahead and put Shiner standout ATHs Jarvis Williams (2028) and Quincy Jones (2027) on your radar.
