COMMITTED: North Crowley QB Jimerson Jr. Sees Green
With the Texas High School football season a little over a month away, many rising seniors are finalizing their decisions on where they will pledge their commitments to Division I schools.
For one Dallas Fort-Worth star, decision day is today.
North Crowley 3-star quarterback Chris Jimerson Jr. committed to North Texas over Louisiana Lafayette, Texas State and Arkansas State.
Jimerson decommitted from TCU a little under a month ago and now is trading one local DFW school for another, but the decision to commit to the Mean Green was an easy one for the star QB.
“North Texas showed me a lot of love throughout this whole process,” Jimerson said. “They know how to develop quarterbacks and it really just felt like home. It means a lot. I want to be able to put on for my city and just keep the talent local.”
Jimerson has been playing varsity for North Crowley since his freshman year, and with his senior year quickly approaching, Jimerson is looking forward to going out on top.
“It’s been a long journey,” he said. “It’s going to be tough knowing it’s my last year, but I’m ready for the season to get here. We’ve got something to prove this year and I’m ready to get to it.”
With his commitment in the bag, Jimerson is also making sure to help the next generation of future prospects, especially one in particular -- his six-year-old brother.
“When I want to get away from what’s going on with my football career, I like to teach my brother,” he said. “My Dad works a lot and I just enjoy teaching him the game, showing him how hard I had to work to get where I am.”
North Texas is getting an impressive quarterback prospect and young man with Chris Jimerson Jr. Watch out for Jimerson and the North Crowley Panthers this Fall as they push for a State Title this fall.
RECRUIT SCOOP: All eyes are on Forney LB and Aggie-commit
Kelvion Riggins was the anchor of the Forney defense last year, helping lead the Jackrabbits to a 13-2 record and a State Semifinal appearance.
After a great junior season the star 2025 linebacker pledged his commitment to Texas A&M in January.
Riggins was one of the first commits in the 2025 class for Texas A&M and new staff under coach Mike Elko. Since then, he’s been locked in on what the Aggies are trying to build.
“The history and culture at the school and throughout the program is amazing,” he said. “I just see Coach Elko building that winning culture like he did at Duke.”
The Aggie linebacker commit was one of the best defensive players in the state last year, but football wasn’t originally what he wanted to play.
“I honestly started playing football because I was trash at baseball,” he laughed. “My Dad was my coach and told me I should try football. Once I got to my freshman year, I started doing my thing and figured out football is what I wanted to do.”
Sports is a family affair in the Riggins house. Kelvion’s Dad played at Georgia Southern, his Mom ran track and his sister is Top 40 softball player in the country for the Class of 2027.
“We’re a sports family,” he said. “When I’m not focusing on football, I’m supporting my sister who’s a freshman on varsity. We are always doing something that has to do with sports.”
Outside of playing football, Riggins has started coaching youth players in the Blue Chips football camp. For Riggins, it’s all about showing the kids the sport he loves.
“I just wanted to give back to the little kids,” Riggins said. “I wanted to show some love and how to play the game the right way. That's the same way I had players and coaches do for me at a young age.”
With the athletic pedigree, his commitment in the bag, what else does he have to accomplish?
“Obviously, the goal for this year is to make it to State and win it all," he said. "For me, I’m trying to have 150 tackles, 30 tackles for loss and three pick six’s.”
