TAPPS Division 1 - District 2 St Thomas High School-Houston @STHFootball Head Coach: Raymond Davis @CoachDavis82 📝 2025 Outlook For South Texas schools, St. Thomas has become a model of consistency in TAPPS Division I, advancing to three straight semifinal appearances. With longtime defensive coordinator Raymond Davis @CoachDavis82 promoted to head coach, St. Thomas enters 2025 with continuity and a culture built on discipline and toughness. A retired Army Major (thank you for your service🙏) and key figure during the Eagles’ recent semifinal runs, Davis brings both stability and fresh leadership as the program pushes for another deep playoff appearance. The roster may be younger in spots, but cornerstone talents like @247Sports 3⭐️ Duke @DukeFOOTBALL commit senior DL Obinna Umeh @ObinnaUmeh_ give St. Thomas proven star power to anchor its identity. Around him, experienced playmakers and a deep skill group aim to keep the Eagles in state title contention. 🔥 Things to Like 🔹 Three-headed RB attack: Few teams in TAPPS can match the versatility of the Eagles’ backfield. Seniors Javaughn Waldron @JavaughnWaldron and Wells Granger paired with Myles Stewart @Mylesx_stewart all bring home-run ability, giving St. Thomas multiple options to take the ball the distance. 🔹 Proven front-seven strength: With linebackers Liam McCarthy @Liam5McCarthy and Jacob Quinlan providing stability, and a defensive line anchored by Obinna Umeh (58 tackles, 5.5 sacks) alongside veterans Rylan Kimpson @rylankimpsontx and Khairan McQueen @KhairanMcQueen, the Eagles boast a front seven most TAPPS programs would envy. Their odd-front schemes should once again create major problems for opposing offenses. 🔹 Versatile tight ends: Much like the RB room, the Eagles have a trio of weapons at tight end with RJ Wilson @rjwilson89, Hunter Sage @whuntersage24, and Ben Creech @BenCreech85. Their ability to line up in multiple looks creates mismatches and stresses opposing defensive coordinators. 🔹 Special teams weapon: Senior kicker Michael Taylor @26MichaelTaylor enters his final season with over 200 career points, giving the Eagles a proven difference-maker in close games and a key asset in the playoffs. 👀 Things to Watch 🔹 Quarterback transition: Replacing veteran leadership is always tricky, but junior Pierce Jacobson @piercewjacobson has been groomed for this role. With strong skill talent around him, Jacobson steps into a favorable situation. 🔹 Defensive depth beyond the core: While the front line is proven, only four defensive starters return overall. DB Logan Debose @DeboseLogan4 and others will need to solidify roles quickly to maintain the Eagles’ defensive standard. 🔹 Emerging offensive linemen: With Alexander Pompilus @AlexPomp07 expected to step up, the Eagles will rely on growth in the trenches. Their development will go a long way toward keeping the offense balanced and explosive. 🔹 Talent stepping up: Beyond the established stars, the Eagles will count on emerging players to fill important roles. Offensive lineman Alexander Pompilus @AlexPomp07 and Connor Edmondson @ConnorEdmondso6 are poised to make an impact this season, while freshman quarterback Da’Metreis Pittman @dpitt_7 gives St. Thomas a high-upside talent to build around for the future. Their growth will be critical as the program pushes to stay among TAPPS’ elite. 📱 Additional Player/Coach Accounts on X Connor Edmondson @ConnorEdmondso6, 2027, OT Dayton Dix @daytondix2027, 2027, RB/LB Duncan Dybesland @DDybesland, 2028, C Eli Mensing @mensing_eli5331, 2028, Eric Feighl Jr @Eric_Feighl, 2027, WR Kohen Alexander @Kohenalexander2, 2027, LB/DB Luke Branting @lukebranting_, 2027, WR Luke Garcia @LukeAGarcia, 2027, RB/W Michael Austin @CoachAustinTX, Coach, Coach Nate Tidwell @NateTidwell_1, 2026, WR Pryce Cravens @Pryce_Cravens, 2027, DB RJ Hastings @RJHastings556, 2028, OL T/G Vontrell Benton @TrellBenton41, 2027, ILB Web Lewis @WebLewis10, 2027, WR
