What does the future hold for Kats as national signing day approaches?

At the skill positions, the Bearkats have gotten verbal commitments from running back Kyran Jackson (South Hills) and receivers Quan Ardoin (Baytown Sterling) and Lutavious Boone (Huntsville). Though the Bearkats seem to be set at the quarterback position with Briscoe for the upcoming season and the near future with promising sophomore quarterbacks Caleb Griffin and Cody Brewer, Keeler and his staff have gotten a commitment from College Station quarterback Ty Brock, who suffered a broken leg in the second game of the 2016 season. “All the great teams I’ve had have had great quarterback play and we feel really good about who we brought in at that position, too,” Keeler said. With kicker Luc Swimberghe and punter Joseph Figenshaw having used up their eligibility, Keeler searched for a player that could kick field goals and punt and was able to find one in the high-school ranks. In his last two recruiting classes, Keeler has done a good job of bringing in transfers who have become major contributors, including Briscoe, Riser and linebacker Justin Johnson, who led the team in tackles this past season with 97. This year, Keeler said he and his staff didn’t have to go after as many transfers because of the caliber of the high school athletes that have committed. “We actually signed a very high number of freshmen, percentage-wise,” Keeler said. “There is going to be a very low number of transfers this year because we feel so good about the high school players we recruited. A lot of these guys can play early for us. This will probably be the lowest number of transfers we’ve taken because of that.”  Highlights for the high school players mentioned can found at www.hudl.com. — — — Follow The Huntsville Item Sports Team on Twitter @Item_Sports or on Facebook.

Allen, Lovejoy close in naming new football coaches

Jan. 17 ... Southlake Carroll has formally announced Mark Humble, a former Baytown and SMU quarterback, who was on staff as the replacement to Clayton George, SLC's offensive coordinator who took several Carroll staff members to Tyler Lee. Ford has a Linked In-worthy resume as a longtime Todd Dodge protégé and former University of Texas quarterback himself. Dodge took Ford to North Texas as his offensive coordinator from Southlake Carroll, which had a record-setting run in the state's top classification in the 2000s. Ford left North Texas in 2010 to take open a $100 million campus in Central Texas near Austin. Cedar Ridge went 4-6 in its opening season in 2012 but has three consecutive state playoff berths. Cedar Ridge (10-2) won a share of the District 13-6A title with Round Rock and Hendrickson and won playoff games in 2013 and 2015. Lovejoy made the move away from Ryan Cox in November after a second-consecutive playoff season. Cox had been elevated from defensive coordinator two years ago when Matt Green left for Marble Falls. Lovejoy opened a decade ago with Jim Bob Puckett as head coach and Puckett remains as athletic director. Lovejoy, just a few miles east of Allen's Eagle Stadium, has high expectations. Lovejoy lost a dramatic overtime thriller against Terrell in the second round this past season. An updated look at North Texas coaching vacancies: Texas High School Football Coaching Changes School, Old Coach, New Coach?
