BREAKING: Shadow Creek LB Anthony Williams commits to TCU
Back on April 4th, Shadow Creek three-star linebacker Anthony “Duece” Williams de-committed from the University of Texas.
His de-commitment led to many in-state programs coming back into the fold, pushing hard to gain his commitment.
Today, one of those in state schools did just that.
Williams pledged his commitment today to TCU, choosing the Horned Frogs over Baylor, Texas A&M, Utah, Florida and others.
TCU had been pushing hard for Williams' commitment as soon as he announced his de-commitment from Texas.
For Williams, however, the relationships the staff has built over the past year made the decision an easy one.
“The coaching staff has been recruiting me throughout the whole process,” Williams said. “Even when I was committed they continued talking with me and recruiting me. For them to do that, even when I was committed, was a big deal to me.”
The Frogs aren’t too far removed from a National Championship appearance two years ago, and with how their defensive players have preformed since coach Sonny Dykes has gotten there, Williams is excited for how he fits in their scheme.
“I think I fit in really well with the scheme they run there,” he said. “In some defensive schemes I’d stay at my normal outside linebacker position. They mentioned being able to play inside as well, which I'm excited for.”
The Shadow Creek linebacker also mentioned that the ability to play in-state also played a big factor in the commitment because his family will be able to see him play.
Now committed, Williams is ready to focus on a big senior year, where he and the Sharks are looking to claim the school’s second State Title.
“I’m looking forward to winning a championship," he said. "We’ve got a new head coach, and the culture feels like it’s moving in the right direction and we all have one goal in mind.”
BREAKING: Shadow Creek’s Sellers Commits To Texas A&M
Texas A&M and new head coach Mike Elko have hit the ground running on the recruiting trail, picking up big-time commits from the Dallas and Houston area.
Today, the Aggies make another huge addition to their 2025 class, with the commitment of Shadow Creek 2025 4-star defensive back Cobey Sellers.
Sellers picked the Aggies over Texas and Oklahoma. VYPE’s Jackson DiPasquale caught up with the new Aggie commit about the decision, his senior year and more!
The commitment to Texas A&M came down to three things for Sellers, the consistency with the staff, the distance from home and how the Aggies plan to use the talented DB.
Consistency with the Staff
“The consistency with Coach Peterson really made me feel like this was home,” he said. “We had been talking since he was at Kansas and even though he knew I wasn’t going to go there he still showed he wanted me and that played a factor when he moved to A&M.”
Location
“When I went up to college Station it just felt right. It was only an hour, hour and 30 minutes from my house which is a big deal to have my family come to every home game.”
Plan For Future
“Coach Elko and Coach Bateman actually showed me how they used me. They also have corners already there that resemble how I play and want to be built when I get to college.”
Sellers also mentioned the culture change that he has seen with the Aggies since Coach Elko has arrived at campus and being able to play in the SEC with defensive minds like Bateman and Elko.
“Coach Elko is going in there and setting rules and standards that will help a team win and be successful,” he said. “I want to be apart of a program like that.”
“The SEC is the closest thing to the NFL without being in the NFL, it doesn’t get more physical than the SEC. I feel like going to A&M with Coach Elko and Coach Bateman, they run their defense like an NFL defense which will prepare me for the next level.”
Now committed before for his senior year, Sellers is focused on helping Shadow Creek get back to the State Championship.
“It’s big because I’m coming back from an injury from last year,” Sellers said. “Knowing where I am going is huge because now I’m focused on making it to State and winning a State Championship for Shadow Creek.”
