Six future Texas A&M Aggies are heading to College Station with state championship rings on their fingers-and momentum on their side. Over the past few weeks, these incoming freshmen capped off their high school careers in the best way possible: by leading their teams to titles across four different states.
Before last Friday, four signees had already locked in championship wins. Bryce Perry-Wright and Tristian Givens each brought home Georgia state titles-Perry-Wright in Class 6A and Givens in Class 2A. Helaman Casuga, a quarterback signee from Utah, helped his squad win the Class 6A crown, while linebacker Tamarion Watkins claimed the South Carolina Class 5A title.
Then came Friday night in Texas, where the Carthage Bulldogs-powered by future Aggies DaQuives Beck and KJ Edwards-rolled to a 49-21 victory over West Orange-Stark to secure their second straight Class 4A Division II championship. For Beck and Edwards, it wasn’t just a win-it was a statement.
Carthage football has long been a powerhouse in Texas, and this latest title only adds to the legacy. But for these two, it’s also a launchpad.
After the game, Edwards reflected on the moment, soaking in the emotions of going out on top and already looking ahead to what’s next. He spoke about his excitement to arrive in College Station next month and begin the next chapter of his football journey. For a player coming off back-to-back state championships, the confidence and winning mentality he brings with him should be music to the ears of the Aggie coaching staff.
All six of these signees are walking into the SEC with championship DNA. That kind of experience-playing under pressure, delivering in big moments, and leading teams to the top-is invaluable at the next level.
Texas A&M’s 2025 class isn’t just talented on paper; it’s full of proven winners. And if their high school finales are any indication, they’re ready to bring that same edge to College Station.
