It took Cuero senior Corey Scott less than two days after returning from a visit to San Marcos to decide he wanted to attend Texas State University.
Scott called Texas State head football coach Brad Wright on Tuesday morning to make a commitment to accept a scholarship to play for the Bobcats next season.
"I liked the people who were there," Scott said. "You've got to think about your education first. The people there seem like they want to take care of you."
Scott was also recruited by the University of Houston and Texas A&M-Kingsville but chose Texas State after talking with his grandmother, Ernestine Kitchen.
"She just told me to do what I wanted," said Scott, who was recruited by Wright. "It was my decision."
The 6-foot-3, 180-pound Scott played wide receiver and defensive back for the Gobblers this season. He was recruited as an athlete and could play either position at Texas State.
Scott earned honorable mention all-state honors from the Associated Press, was a first-team selection on the Advocate's all-area team and a unanimous first-team District 29-3A pick at wide receiver after catching 62 passes for 1,027 yards and 10 touchdowns. Scott also had 53 tackles and eight pass breakups as a defensive back.
"I felt good about the people who recruited him and the choice he made," Cuero coach Mark Reeve said. "They've got great people there. Corey's got great character. He's 6-3 and got the speed. He plays just about every sport we have. When he gets in that situation, where he's just playing football and living in the weight room, he's going to be something special."
Scott, who is currently playing basketball and intends to run track at Cuero, will make his commitment official on Feb. 7, national signing day.
"There was a lot of pressure," Scott said. "I'm glad to get it over with. Now, I can concentrate on what I'm doing."

**I might also add he was on the 2005 and 2006 State Championship Track teams and is quite a good basketball player.
