🏈 Big News for Douglas County High School! 🏈 Douglas County High teammates Aaron Gregory and Jordan Carter play different positions, but on Sunday they had a lot in common. The two highly-recruited players ended their recruitment in College Station, Texas when they verbally committed to play their college football for the Texas A&M Aggies. The 6-foot-3 Gregory plays wide receiver for the No. 4 Tigers, while Carter is a strongside defensive end.

Join us in wishing Aaron and Jordan the best as they take their talent from Douglas County to Texas A&M! #DCSSproud
