Fort Bend Crawford's Alvin Mosley

Few players in Texas high school football have made a stronger early impression than Alvin Mosley.
Entering his junior season at Fort Bend Crawford, the standout wide receiver has already positioned himself as one of the top recruits in the Class of 2027 — and as a key catalyst for a program on the rise.
Mosley, a 6-foot-2, four-star prospect, brings a rare combination of size, athleticism, polished route-running, and reliable hands.
Those traits helped him earn first-team, all-district honors in 2024 after hauling in 52 receptions for 830 yards and 11 touchdowns.

His consistent production and big-play ability make him one of the most efficient wideouts in the state, and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. He was recently ranked No. 115 nationally in On3’s updated Rivals300 list, drawing major offers from Texas, Florida State, Arkansas, TCU, Houston, and others.
While Mosley’s individual accolades are impressive, they’re even more significant in the context of Crawford’s team journey.
The Chargers finished 5-6 in 2024, securing a fourth-place spot in District 12-4A-D1 and earning a postseason
appearance — all in their first year of varsity competition. With Mosley returning as a centerpiece of the offense, expectations for the fall are understandably high.

Beyond the football field, Mosley’s athleticism continues to shine. He’s also the reigning District MVP in basketball, underscoring his multi-sport versatility and competitive edge.
As Crawford looks to take the next step in its rapid development, Mosley’s presence on the field will be one of the biggest reasons why. Whether he’s stretching defenses vertically or making contested catches in traffic, his ability to impact the game is undeniable — and he’s only just getting started.
The foundation has been laid. Now, with a full offseason of growth and experience under his belt, Alvin Mosley is ready to lead the Almeta Crawford program into a new chapter — one that could very well put the Chargers on the state map.

HOLDING THE LINE: Alief Taylor's Whiteside aims to secure the Lions' pursuit of a turnaround
24 Sep, 2025
Alief Taylor's Dillian Whiteside

In a sport that often fixates on speed and flash, Dillian Whiteside is proof that stability still matters.
Standing at 6-foot-4 with agile footwork that contradicts his frame, the senior offensive lineman approaches the 2025 season as one of Alief Taylor’s most dependable and crucial figures, both in the trenches and in the locker room. A first-team, all-district selection last fall, Whiteside is the type of player who doesn’t just step into a role—he takes ownership of it.
Yet, last season tested the Lions in ways they hadn’t anticipated. Their debut year in the competitive District 20-6A brought fresh challenges and unfamiliar opponents like Fulshear, Foster, and George Ranch—programs that ultimately pushed Taylor to a last-place finish.
But to Whiteside, these setbacks aren’t going to be seen as roadblocks; they’ll be used as reference points.

“We’re going to need more team chemistry,” he said. “There were a lot of close games that came down to the wire and just didn’t go our way. The talent is there for us, but we can’t get to the point where one mistake could ruin our chances.”
That kind of insight doesn’t come overnight. For Whiteside, perspective has been his biggest area of growth.
“As a freshman, you assume you have all the time in the world,” he reflected. “But it passes by so much quicker than you’d think. I’ve become more mature, more vocal as a leader, and just have a stronger mindset on who I want to be.”
That mindset has already begun to open doors. Whiteside holds an offer from Lamar University, with others likely on the way if he continues his upward trajectory. His steady development, he says, stems from relentless dedication and self-awareness.

“Nothing comes for free,” he said. “It’s taken plenty of training and dedication to get me where I want to be. Size has never been an issue for me, so the mindset has always been to keep my head down and stick to the craft.”
Whiteside models his game after NFL greats like Joe Thomas and Zack Martin. If he had his pick of NIL sponsorships, he says it’d be Nike—a fitting choice, given their partnership with Alief Taylor. Off the field, he carries an artistic streak: he plays trumpet, a passion few might expect from someone who spends his Fridays moving defenders against their will.
As Taylor aims to flip the script this season, Whiteside’s presence gives the Lions more than just a fighting chance. He gives them an anchor.
