Attn: CenTex 2018 & 2019 Prospects!!!

If you are a 2018 or 2019 prospect (an upcoming sophomore or an incoming freshman in high school) in the Central Texas area and are fortunate enough to earn a starting spot on the varsity, this would be a very good time to establish yourself as a prospect to watch. It can possibly save you the stress of wondering whether or not you will be recruited as an upperclassman. Here are a few tips to help you get yourselves better noticed as an underclassman on the gridiron.

• Make the "Honor Roll" part of your daily language and character.
• "Point 1" means no grades lower than B's, but preferably more A's than anything else.
• Start studying for your SAT and ACT tests early.
• Take either test at least once at the conclusion of your sophomore year and as often as needed after that.
• REFRAIN FROM ALL FORMS OF FOOLISHNESS BOTH ON AND OFF THE FIELD!
• Be careful with the content of your posts on social media.
• YOU MUST BE DOMINANT AND CONSISTENT AT YOUR RESPECTIVE POSITION ON THE FIELD (a big play machine)!
• Show up BIG, in BIG games!
• Keep your film updated online where they can be viewed publicly (ie. hudl, youtube, etc.). Let your film sell you more than any "t-shirt warrior" events in the Spring and Summer. Your film will prove how much of a true baller you really are, not a t-shirt event!
• Regularly posts your highlight film link on various social media outlets in order to get college coaches' attention.
• Remember you'll mostly be seen as the "rookie" or "scrub" (because you are young) by most upperclassmen, so use that to further fuel your fire to outwork everyone on the field.

Former CenTex great Lache Seastrunk (Temple, '10/pictured below) splashed on the scene his sophomore year by making big play after big play. His speed and elusiveness in space were his biggest assets, which wow'ed a lot of college football coaches and scouts. As a matter of fact, his online film link had over 50,000 hits in the first 6 months after his sophomore campaign ended. As a result of his accomplishments made during his underclassmen years, he was eventually selected to play in the US Army All-American Bowl Game along with being named a USA Today 1st Team All-American.

ALWAYS KNOW THAT IT IS NEVER TOO EARLY TO BECOME A STUD. SO USE YOUR TIME WISELY IN ORDER TO DO SO!
