Spring Football Update

La Porte continues their spring workouts this week after 2 weeks of good evaluation and finding depth on both sides of the ball.  There has been plenty of work on the passing game (blocking schemes, route running).  We already know what LP can do on the ground.  The defense looks good (as usual) and all the returning talent gives the upcoming season a special feel going into it.

We bid farewell to Coach Nelms, who took the offensive line position at Clear Springs and thank him for the time he spent at La Porte helping our boys improve and getting them into college over the past 6 years.  The love shown to him by the players and parents says a lot about his character.  Will be sad he has to miss out on that state championship ring next season! Haha.

Class of 2014 Outside Linebacker Hoza Scott has had a eventful spring with offers coming in from Alabama and LSU to go along with his previous offer from Texas A&M.  He was one of the few 2014 prospects from across the nation to be invited to the Rivals 100 5-star camp in Atlanta, Georgia with the best college prospects from around the country.

Also Orangebloods.com (University of Texas) writer Jason Howell was at practice last week for an interview with Hoza: http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1364136

Also Oklahoma writer Josh McCuistion had a write up about Hoza, Keith Whitely and Maurice Morris: http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1363860

2013 Running back Keith Whitely has picked up scholarship offers from UNLV and San Jose State, with more to come.

Scouts continue to pour into the La Porte practice fields with Texas A&M, Missouri, Baylor, Utah and Navy among many others at practice.

La Porte plays a State Qualifying Tournament in 7on7 this coming Sunday at the Reliant Stadium practice fields.  LP should be the favorite in their group with Montgomery, Dobie and Fort Bend Ridge Point.  I will post the schedule once known.

Spring practice concludes on May 24th at 6pm with the Orange and White game at Bulldog Stadium.
