Notable TXHSFB players to sign with Non-FBS schools on National Signing Day
Notable TXHSFB players that signed with FCS schools in Texas include Silsbee's Raydrian Baltrip to Abilene Christian, Clear Springs' Isaiah Johnson to Houston Christian, Center's Emonte Cross to Lamar, Gunter's Cannon Lemberg to SFA and Anna's C.J. Miller to Lamar.
According to a 2015 NCAA study, only 2.9 percent of high school athletes earn an opportunity to play Division I college football, and 7.3 percent participate in football in all three divisions. In other words, it takes incredible ability to be considered talented enough to compete in college. As someone who never had near the talent necessary to compete in college, I respect the players who earn a scholarship offer.
Naturally, many talented high school players in Texas didn’t sign with FBS schools or receive the press that a 5-star recruit like Terry Bussey has every week. However, the FCS teams in Texas are filled with multiple 3-star athletes.
