DHS football players sign letters of intent

Six of Denison High School's most sought-after athletes and brightest stars have signed letters of intent to play football at top level colleges and universities.

According to Cody White, DHS Athletic Director and Head Football Coach, the six players were heavily recruited by respected institutions across Texas and the nation. When it came time to sign, the recruits chose their school-of-choice based on criteria ranging from athletic and academic programs to coaching staff, location of the school and comfort level with personnel.

Jordan Taylor signed a letter of intent with prestigious Rice University in Houston. D.J. Jones, proudly wearing an Aggie t-shirt and cap, signed with Texas A&M University. Fellow Yellow Jackets Jimmay Mundine and Jagwaylin Arps signed with Kansas University. Cody Reeves signed with West Texas, and Aaron Morrison with Kilgore College.

The six Yellow Jacket superstars helped lead the 2009 Denison Yellow Jackets to the State semi-finals by winning district, bi-district, area quarterfinals, regional semi-finals and regional final championships before losing to Aledo in the State semi-final game. Aledo went on to win the State championship, beating Brenham by a larger margin than its victory over Denison.

"There's no doubt that these athletes have the skills, determination and work ethic to succeed at the college level," said White. "If they continue to work and study hard, strive to improve every day and keep their attitudes positive, they'll do well. We feel like they're well prepared and ready to meet new challenges at the college level. We're extremely proud of them."
