On Wednesday, Feb. 4, four Navasota Rattlers took their football accomplishments to another level, signing national letters of intent with colleges and universities in Texas.

There would have been five Navasota players to sign Wednesday, but because running back Dexter Pratt graduated in December and has enrolled at Oklahoma State University, his status as a student in Stillwater, Okla., already puts him in the Cowboys' stable.

Wide receiver Gaston Lamascus completed his paperwork as a preferred walk-on at Texas A&M University. He'll be joined at A&M by scholarship wide reveiver Brandal Jackson.

Headed across the twin rivers to national power Blinn College in Brenham will be receiver Antron Harris, and quarterback Jacolby Stokes signed with the Kilgore College Rangers, one of the nation's historically strong junior colleges.

Yeah, but if you notice, it was our entire offensive skill position lineup.:(

Our defense will be strong enough to keep us on track for a winning season. The offense will have to reload, but a good, not great, offensive line will help them gel, IMO. LB Kesnick Jones is a really good RB, and he will be a junior next year. I think the QB position will be filled by Day from the JV. Gessner, last year's fullback, is a good quarterback, but has not played the position in a year. There are several good athletes at receiver, but I don't think we will have anything comparable to BJ and Gator.
