Houston has always been a hotbed for football recruiting and especially District 21-6A.
This year is no exception with guys like North Shore’s Devin Sanchez, Chris Barnes, LaVonte Johnson and Deion DeBlanc and Summer Creek's Chad Woodfork and Lloyd Avant, there is another name to add to the DI laundry list.
Xavier “Deebo” Atkins hails from "The Boot". He's a four-star LB and LSU-commit who moved from Jonesboro-Hodge High School in Louisiana to Summer Creek in January.
Now that he’s here in Texas, VYPE caught up with Atkins about his move and more.
“I moved to Texas because I wanted to play against bigger competition and be at a really great school,” he said.
Playing in one of the toughest districts (21-6A) in Texas high school football, Atkins will definitely see some of that competition and is looking forward to it.
“I’m really looking forward to playing against some of the best teams in the district, and seeing how the fans and the community support our school on a Friday night,” Atkins said. “They say Texas football is different and I’m ready to see what it’s about!”
Atkins also mentioned he is most excited for the Summer Creek vs. Atascocita game next Fall after hearing more and more about the rivalry between the two.
As far as his recruitment goes, Atkins is currently committed to LSU.
“What really made me commit was a really good friend who died,” he said. “It was his dream to play there, and mine because that’s home. It made me feel like I did something great with my life being able to commit to a school in my home state.”
Atkins did mention that since moving to Texas that schools like Texas A&M, Texas, Texas Tech and Alabama have been in hot pursuit.
The star LB will be visiting Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas, Baylor, Miami and LSU this summer.
With the 2023 Texas high school football season only 72 days away, expect linebacker Xavier Atkins to make a major impact on the field for Summer Creek next fall.
“My goal for this season is just play at a high level, bring the team together, make a run in the playoffs and the ultimate goal is State, right! We ain’t doing it for no reason.”
Questions:
What do you do outside of football? “I try to model my game after Devin White!”
What do you do outside of Football? “What I do outside of football is be around family , workout and go to church and just be myself ya feel me”

The south Houston area is loaded with talented athletes who give it their all in their respective fields of play.
Welcome to the VYPE Playmakers powered by UTMB Health, where we’re highlighting five standouts from the previous week who stole the headlines.
Here are the UTMB Athletes of the Week.
Hailey Nutter, Barbers Hill Softball
Juan De Leon (VYPE)
As expected, Barbers Hill was a force to be reckoned with in Texas high school softball this Spring. Eagles ace, sophomore RHP Hailey Nutter was a big reason for that.
Her precision and prowess on the mound was enough to stifle the best of them, which gave other playmakers--Reagan Duty (Sr. IF), Sophie Naivar (Sr. OF), Brookelyn Livanec (Sr. OF), and senior IF KateLynn Cooper--plenty of opportunities to light up the scoreboard.
Nutter earned her second-consecutive District 17-5A MVP nod for her efforts. Count on Nutter and the District Defensive POTY selection, Peyton Helmly (So. C), to be the faces of the franchise moving forward.
Boots Landry, Friendswood Baseball
Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)
Prior to the season, it was no secret that senior 3B Boots Landry was as heavy-hitter on the diamond.
As one of the captains on Friendswood’s stellar roster, featuring the likes of fellow stars--Easton Tumis (Sr. P), Kyle Lockhart (Jr. UTL), Dane Perry (So. C), and junior OF Peyton Adams--it can be difficult to stand out.
But Landry had no trouble flourishing to help lead his team back to the postseason, while being named District 18-5A MVP in the process.
Now that he has graduated, Landry will soon be taking his talents to College Station, where he will play for Texas A&M in the ensuing season.
Hailey Golden, Pearland Softball
Matthew Ogle (VYPE)
The Lady Oilers became state champions for the first time since 2010, marking the third time Pearland has been crowned. This was thanks in large part to senior OF Hailey Golden, who played a key role in accomplishing this feat.
Golden went 3-for-4 in the championship game against Denton Guyer, while driving in two runs to help lead Pearland to a 4-2 victory at McCombs Field in Austin.
For her standout performance, Golden was named the Class 6A State Final MVP to cap off her high school career, before moving on to Texas A&M in the coming months.
Janelle Wilson, Friendswood Softball
Juan De Leon (VYPE)
Like so many on this list, standing out among the vast array of next-level talent is easier said than done. But, Janelle Wilson (Sr. P/IF) saw to it that her final season with Friendswood would be her finest.
Wilson led the Mustangs to another trip to the postseason, in which they advanced three rounds deep. As the team’s ace, she maintained an ERA of 0.60 with nearly 250 strikeouts, and an exceptional performance at-bat (.300 BA, 24 RBI, 3 HR) throughout the season.
Given the impressive statline and presence she brought to the diamond, Wilson earned District 18-5A MVP honors before moving on to UNC this upcoming Fall.

Given the superfluous amount of talent on coach David Rogers’ roster, it’s truly remarkable how much sophomore right-hander Nico Partida stood out for Pearland this year.
Partida showcased experience beyond his years as one of the starters for the Oilers, earning him the title of All-District Co-MVP.
Furthermore, he was a major contributor in Pearland’s 11-1 win against Westlake in the State Semis--allowing just one earned run, with two strikeouts, and an RBI at-bat.
Despite the team narrowly falling to Flower Mound (4-6) in the Class 6A Final, Pearland Baseball should continue to thrive, as a program, with Partida on the mound.Read More...Read Less
