BREAKING: 2025 Hitchcock 4-Star WR Kelshaun Johnson Commits To Texas A&M
Texas A&M has seen great success coming into Houston and grabbing some of the top talent in not only the state but in the country.
The Aggies have added another big time Greater Houston-Area prospect today in 2025 Hitchcock four-star wide receiver Kelshaun Johnson .
Johnson picked the Aggies over Texas, USC, Arkansas and Texas Tech.
Johnson is one of the top wide receiver prospects in the country holding 24 offers from some of the top programs in the country. For the talented wide receiver the relationship with the Texas A&M staff is what gained his commitment.
“Sitting in meetings with Coach Klein, Coach Elko and Coach Wiggins they just felt like family,” he said.
“They have a plan to develop me as a player and also help mold me into the man I want to be off the field, that’s the type of program I want to be a part of.”
Coach Wiggins arrival as the wide receiver coach also played a big role in gaining Johnson’s commitment to the Aggies. Johnson is electric on the field with a 10.4 100M time and is very similar to a lot of players Wiggins developed at Alabama.
“Coach Wiggins has a great track record developing elite wide receivers,” Johnson said. “You look at how he developed DeVonta Smith and Henry Ruggs, those are two players that I feel like are very similar to me. I want to be coached by the best and coach Wiggins is one of the best.”
Now committed the speedster Johnson is looking forward to a big-time Senior season and help his team get to Jerry’s world.
“I can’t wait for this year,” Johnson said. “This is my last ride with my guys and we have been putting in a lot of work this offseason to make a big run in the playoffs and hopefully win it all.”
The Aggies have added an electric playmaker to their class and expect big things from the Hitchcock native once he gets to campus in 2025.
RING KING: Duncanville QB Russell sits atop throne Of TXHSFB
Duncanville football has become the BRAND of Texas high school football over the past eights years making State Title runs and having some of the top recruits in the country.
The now back-to-back State Champs sit atop the throne of Texas high school football, with a chance to go back-to-back-to-back with the "Ring King" 4-star quarterback & SMU-commit Keelon Russell leading the charge.
Russell first burst on the scene his sophomore year leading the Panthers to their first-ever State Title and then returned to State as a junior to go back-to-back.
“Honestly it wasn’t anything more than just execution from the start,” Russell said. “This past year, we wanted it more. I feel like we got really humbled during the DeSoto game and just decided we couldn't lose another game, and we did just that.”
The pressure of winning the title is enormous for any quarterback but for the Duncanville QB1 it is multiplied by 10 when looking at how many times they had left Jerry’s World without a ring. For Russell, he takes it as a challenge.
“The pressure is always high being the quarterback, especially here at Duncanville,” he said. “Everybody is watching you, if the team has a bad game they’re going to blame the quarterback and coaches like in colleges but I use that pressure as a challenge to be better.”
Russell committed to SMU in September, deciding to stay home. Since the State Title game, however, more school’s have been pushing to get the star quarterback to flip. Alabama, Florida and Oregon will all receive official visits along with SMU.
“Alabama has been a school I’ve had a great relationship with and they’ve been recruiting me heavily lately, so I’m excited to get out there,” he said. “I also will be visiting Oregon and Florida. Those schools have been going after me for a while, so I’m excited to check them out and check off that last box.”
With some big OV’s quickly approaching, Russell is getting ready to attend the most prestigious Quarterback Camp in the country, the Elite 11 Finals.
“Getting invited to the Elite 11 finals is honestly a blessing," he said. "I’ve been talking about getting there for years so to get the invite was exciting.
“When I get out there, I want to compete and get better... get my name out there. All the top quarterbacks in every draft were Elite 11 guys and that’s where they made a name for themselves.”
After his busy summer, the Duncanville quarterback is ready to get under those Friday Night Lights in his last season wearing the blue and red.
“I honestly really just have a feeling of calmness," he said. "I’ve done this two other times now and I feel like I’m at the peak of my game. I still working hard to get better, but I feel like we’re ready to make another run back to State.”
