Justin Northwest running back Syrus Moore picked up steam once the season ended with 10 offers. He committed on Monday to Harding University.
Moore was first team 6-5A, second team all-area and honorable mention all-state after rushing for 1,800 yards and 20 TDs. The Texans won their first playoff game in program history.
In Aledo, 6-foot-3 tight end Logan Peterson flipped his commitment from Texas State to Florida Atlantic University. Peterson thanked the staff at Texas State and wished them the best on Twitter. “I believe it is the best fit for me as a person and what I want to do with my life after college football,” he said of FAU.
Peterson was first team all-district after helping the Bearcats win the 5A Division II state championship.
