Eli Achilles

[CoachBurger]

Does anyone know if Achilles signed with a college? A player asked and i've been trying to figure it out.. so far, nothing. Anybody know?

I believe he's playing at Texas State

 

[CoachBurger]

Really? Trying to make the squad as a walk on?

According to Eli's dad, Eli had offers from several small schools, but was intending to sign with Texas State.

cool cool. best of wishes to him... I played for the Cats when I was in college. That program is growing fast. Here's hoping Eli can make an impact and score one for the six man population.

Eli was a great kid and a GREAT athlete. When you talk "Johnny Football," Eli was a true, "do it all player." He had the best attitude, the most respect, and a great mind for the game. He played for us in the CanAm Bowl and it was a general consensus among the staff that he could have literally played anywhere in any position and could have been an MVP. Great kid. He is on the preferred walk on list at Texas State. Best of luck to him!

#18 wide receiver, now has to earn a spot on the travel team!
He is not only busting his tail for himself but for every sixman ball player out there. He has always hated the way crowded field guys would down play the abilities of his team members, his league and the sport of sixman football. His normal reply is " same game just no fat guys".
Bracken is proud!

I just got word that Eli signed with Texas State this morning.

I got to go see the team USA play team Canada. The team was awesome and I would be happy to line them up against any. With that said it was enjoyable to see the best competing against each other for a position and then pull so together as an unselfish team
Eli was a consummate team player with the drive to help his team in any way. He has a great motor and heart I know he will succeed at what he puts his mind to. I wish him the best Caleb (my son) said that with that team that only got practice should be able to score on every play. He said Eli will do what ever it takes every play run, block, catch etc
One more thing to say about Eli I got to see and hear his great support from his family

Again good luck young-man. In all of life's challenges

That's awesome! Eli will do well, I'm sure. That young man plays HARD, is an ATHLETE, and has HEART.

My son was a freshman last year and got the opportunity to play against Eli. I encouraged my son to pay attention and to learn from Eli. I told him that he would do very well to play the way Eli does. Eli gives it everything he has on every second of every single play. You can't ask for anything more than that. He's a good example for the younger kids.

Ditto to the comments above. I know mister Eli and he is a great athlete and person so move over "Johnny football" because another one is coming. But he doesn't carry the same luggage because he comes from a devoted Christian family and school, if you know what I mean. I truly admire "Johnny football" and hope that he can resolve these issues with the NCAA so A&M can be a dominate force in the SEC. As for Eli, all 6 man fans and players should wish him the best because he will give it his best. His wall is littered with ( all district, all state & MVP awards). But unfortunately he still cannot outrun his brother "Grady".

Grady was at Canada and he was hollering for him as much as anyone...
