SUMMER CAMP: PVAMU hosts hundreds of high school hopefuls at two-day event
It’s a new day at Prairie View A&M University.
Newly-hired football coach Tremaine Jackson is breathing new life into the program.
This week, the Panthers hosted a mega-camp on campus where hundreds of college football hopefuls showed off their skills in front of dozens of college coaches.
VYPE was on the scene as scholarship offers were earned during the two-day event.
Day one of camp at Prairie View A&M saw several Houston-area athletes put on a show. 2026 Aldine Davis RB Nicholas Tramble and 2026 Ridge Point WR Bailen George turned heads early, flashing elite speed in testing and standing out in one-on-one drills. Both earned offers from PVAMU, with George also picking up an additional offer from UTEP.
Day two brought even more standout performances.
2026 The Woodlands ATH Parker Stewart backed up his track speed by blazing a 4.34 and 4.42 in the 40-yard dash. 2026 Second Baptist QB Canon Toon also posted an impressive time, clocking in at 4.53.
2026 Katy Jordan DB Austin Baird put together a complete showing, running a 4.4 40-yard dash and locking down receivers during one-on-one drills—earning himself an offer from PVAMU.
Other prospects making noise included 2026 Yates ATH Joshua Wallace, 2027 Katy Jordan WR Landon Williams, and 2029 Katy Jordan WR Rush Williams. All three showed out during testing, drills, and competitive reps—each earning offers from PVAMU as well.
With so many H-Town athletes making strong impressions, expect the offer list to grow as camp season continues and the countdown to Friday Night Lights begins this fall.
Second Baptist School's Toon focused on State Title, college future
Canon Toon has already left his mark on Second Baptist School, leading the Eagles to a TAPPS Division II State Title game last fall as a 6-foot-4 dual-threat quarterback. This winter, he swapped the cleats for high-tops and helped guide the Eagles to a TAPPS basketball state championship, showcasing his athletic versatility.
Now entering his senior season, Toon — a four-year varsity starter — is laser-focused on two major goals: winning a state football title and earning a Division I scholarship.
“Going out with a title as a senior is my main focus,” Toon said. “I’m a pretty vocal leader, but this year I really want to grow my leadership qualities even more.”
Last season, Toon produced video-game numbers, throwing for 1,864 yards and 25 touchdowns, while adding 1,083 rushing yards and 14 scores on the ground. This summer, he’ll be busy attending college camps and making visits as he works toward finding his collegiate home.
“Every campus I visit, I learn something different," he said. "I’m just piecing everything together right now.”
Toon holds an offer from Tennessee State and plans upcoming trips to Central Florida, Tulane, Furman, and Baylor. One of his key areas of focus this offseason: developing patience in the pocket.
“I’m working on being comfortable staying in the pocket and getting through my second and third progressions instead of trying to escape too early,” he said.
Toon's journey as a quarterback began unexpectedly. As a freshman, he lined up at receiver and defensive back before being thrust into the starting quarterback role his sophomore year after an injury to the starter.
“I was thrown into the fire,” he laughed. “But it gave me a clear vision of how much goes into running an offense and reading defenses. I just fell in love with that part of the game.”
While the recruiting process has become increasingly difficult for high school quarterbacks due to the transfer portal, Toon remains committed to "trusting the process."
“The portal has made it tough," he said. "You’ll have a great conversation with a coach one day and then not hear back for months. But you can’t worry about it — you just keep working and eventually the right opportunity will come."
Off the field, Toon trains with renowned quarterback coach Steve Calhoun and studies film of players like Robert Griffin III — one of his childhood idols — and Josh Allen.
“My dad was a punter at Baylor, so I’ve always been a huge RGIII fan," he said. "And I love the way Josh Allen plays. Watching their film definitely influences my game.”
With his final high school season ahead, Canon Toon’s combination of talent, leadership, and work ethic make him a name to watch — both in Texas and beyond.
“I know what I can bring to a program," Toon said. "Now, I’m just looking for a college that believes in me.”
