The Dragons Worth Watching on the Recruiting Trail

Seagoville Dragons • 2026 Season Preview

Seagoville Recruiting Spotlight: Dragons Have College Talent to Watch

By Merv Moore

Seagoville enters 2026 with several seniors who already produced real varsity results and a group of underclassmen who could draw college attention with strong seasons ahead.

The Dragons do not have the kind of publicized recruiting class found at some of the area’s larger programs, but a long offer list before senior year has never been the only path forward.

Production, size, versatility and performance against strong competition can open the same doors.

Kollin Williams — RB/ATH, Senior

🏆 First Team All District, 2025

Williams should sit at the top of any recruiting conversation involving Seagoville. Nearly 12 yards a carry on limited touches is production that stands out on its own, and his ability to also throw the football gives college programs multiple ways to evaluate his film. Versatility, more than any single number, may end up being his biggest asset.

Josiah Royal — OL/DL, Senior

🏆 First Team All District, 2025 (Offensive Line)

At 6 foot 3, Royal is one of Seagoville’s most important recruiting names simply because of his frame and his ability to line up on both sides of the football. Linemen typically develop later in the recruiting process than skill players, especially once senior film shows real gains in strength and technique. That timeline puts Royal in position to become one of the Dragons’ most closely watched prospects this fall.

James Roberts — WR, Senior

🏆 Second Team All District, 2025

REC YARDS TD
16 196 3

Roberts enters 2026 as Seagoville’s most proven returning receiver, and his role should grow considerably following the graduation of leading target Adam West. More opportunities mean more chances to build the kind of senior film college coaches want to see.

Rickey Wilkins Jr. — RB/WR, Senior

🏆 Second Team All District, 2025

RUSH YDS CARRIES TOTAL TD
372 60 3

Wilkins gives Seagoville another player whose versatility could carry real recruiting weight. He already contributes as both a runner and a receiver, and showing he can handle different roles within the same offense would give college coaches more to evaluate heading into 2026.

Davien Rucker — OL, Senior

🏆 Second Team All District, 2025 (Center)

Rucker will never show up on a stat sheet the way a running back or receiver does, but interior linemen should not be overlooked in recruiting coverage. Centers are judged on defensive front recognition, communication, snapping consistency and technique, not touchdowns. Another strong season would give Rucker useful senior film for programs seeking interior offensive linemen.

Jayln Beauchamp — TE/OLB, Senior

🏆 First Team All District, 2025 (Tight End)

Beauchamp’s receiving numbers were modest last season, but earning First Team recognition despite that points to real value elsewhere, particularly as a blocker and in his overall role within the offense. His ability to play both tight end and outside linebacker adds another layer of versatility. A larger role in 2026 gives him the chance to show exactly what that value looks like on tape.

The Underclassmen to Watch

RB/CB • Junior

Devionte Smith

RUSH YDS CARRIES TD
185 15 3

More than 12 yards a carry on a small sample as a sophomore is enough to build on. With two full varsity seasons remaining, a larger role in 2026 could put Smith on college radars well before his senior year.

WR/DB • Junior

Francis Perkins

Perkins already has varsity experience at receiver and defensive back. What comes next is production. With real opportunity available in the passing game, he has a clear path from role player to regular contributor, and two way ability only adds more film for a college staff to evaluate.

Senior Film Will Matter

Seagoville’s senior class already has something college coaches can evaluate immediately: real varsity experience. Williams, Royal, Roberts, Wilkins, Rucker and Beauchamp have all earned all district recognition. What’s left to prove is whether their senior seasons add enough new production to turn that experience into actual recruiting opportunities.

Smith and Perkins still have time on their side. Recruiting attention can shift quickly once games start counting, and a strong August or September against real competition can put a name on a college staff’s board almost overnight. For Seagoville, 2026 is about more than getting back to the playoffs. For several Dragons, it could be the season that keeps their football careers going well past this fall.
