Kollin Williams, Sr. • RB/QB

• Rushing: 51 carries, 598 yards, 11.73 average, 4 TD
• Passing: 19 of 33, 291 yards, 3 TD, 1 INT
• Total offense: 889 yards, 7 combined touchdowns

Williams is Seagoville’s most versatile offensive player and one of the most important pieces on the roster. He earned First Team All District recognition at quarterback last season but can affect a game just as much with his legs, giving the coaching staff options while the 2026 quarterback picture takes shape. He does not need to play every snap under center to matter. He can line up in the backfield, take direct snaps, or create matchup problems in packages built around his athleticism, and if Seagoville makes another playoff run, he is likely to be at the center of it.

James Roberts, Sr. • WR

• 16 catches, 196 yards, 12.25 average, 3 TD

Roberts moves into 2026 as Seagoville’s most established returning receiver. With Adam West gone, he has a real opportunity to become the primary target in the passing game rather than one piece of a larger rotation. He already proved he can produce at the varsity level, and how quickly he establishes himself as the clear No. 1 option could go a long way toward helping whichever quarterback wins the starting job.

Josiah Royal, Sr. • OL/DL

• 6 feet 3, approximately 270 pounds
• Defense: 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble

Royal may be the most important two way lineman on the roster. He earned First Team All District honors on offense last season while also contributing on defense, and his size gives Seagoville real value in the middle of both lines. His offensive role should help stabilize a veteran group up front, but his defensive role may matter even more, since the Dragons lost several experienced defenders and need Royal to become one of the leaders of the rebuilt unit.

Rickey Wilkins Jr., Sr. • RB/DB

• Rushing: 60 carries, 372 yards, 6.20 average, 2 TD
• Receiving: 2 catches, 76 yards, 1 TD

Wilkins gives Seagoville something every offense needs: another proven option. He does not have to carry the backfield by himself, since Williams and Devionte Smith are also available, but his experience allows the Dragons to rotate players without changing what they want to do offensively. His value may come from keeping the offense moving once defenses start keying on Williams.

Jayln Beauchamp, Sr. • TE/OLB

• Receiving: 13 yards in 2025

Beauchamp’s importance cannot be measured by receptions alone. He earned First Team All District recognition at tight end last season on the strength of his blocking and two way value, giving Seagoville an experienced presence in the running game and another target when the Dragons use play action. His added experience at outside linebacker could become increasingly important as the defense rebuilds.

Diego Ayala, Sr. • DL/OT

Ayala is one of the returning defenders Seagoville needs to take another step forward. He earned Second Team All District recognition last season and returns with experience at both defensive end and offensive tackle. With several veteran defenders gone to graduation, Ayala is one of the clearest candidates to assume a larger leadership role, and a consistent presence on the edge would make the rest of Seagoville’s defensive front much easier to build around.

Devionte Smith, Jr. • RB/DB

• 15 carries, 185 yards, 12.33 average, 3 TD

Smith may have the highest breakout potential among Seagoville’s younger returning players. His workload was limited in 2025, but he was efficient on every opportunity he received, which makes him a natural fit for a larger role now that carries are available in the backfield. He also has defensive back experience, and if his offensive role expands significantly, the coaching staff will need to manage his snaps on both sides carefully.

Andrew Hernandez, Jr. • QB/CB

• 26 of 40 passing, 65.0 percent, 280 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT

Hernandez is one of the most intriguing players on the roster because his role could change dramatically depending on how the quarterback competition unfolds. He received real varsity work under center last season and showed he can operate the offense, while his experience at cornerback adds further value. If he wins the starting job, he immediately becomes one of Seagoville’s most important players, and even if he does not, his experience gives the coaching staff a legitimate second option.

Francis Perkins, Jr. • WR/DB

• 3 catches, 41 yards, 13.67 average

Perkins enters 2026 with a chance to become more than a complementary player. He already has varsity experience at both receiver and defensive back, and while Roberts enters the season as the most established target, Seagoville still needs another player to develop into a dependable option. His defensive experience also puts him in the mix for playing time in a secondary that needs new leaders.

Davien Rucker, Sr. • C

• Approximately 270 pounds

Rucker may not draw the attention Seagoville’s skill players do, but his role could be just as important. The senior center gives the Dragons continuity in the middle of the offensive line, which matters even more for a team that may be breaking in a different quarterback. A veteran center helps with protections, communication, and keeping the offense organized before the snap.

The Dragons Need Their Veterans to Lead

Seagoville has several players capable of producing big individual performances, but the more important question is whether this group can provide collective leadership. Williams, Roberts, Royal, Wilkins, Beauchamp, Ayala, and Rucker are all seniors, and the Dragons will lean heavily on that class during the toughest stretch of the district schedule.

The younger group, particularly Smith, Hernandez, and Perkins, provides the upside. If the seniors perform as expected and two or three younger Dragons make significant jumps, Seagoville could have enough depth to challenge the teams currently projected ahead of it. That combination of veteran experience and emerging talent is one of the biggest reasons the Dragons remain a legitimate playoff contender entering 2026.
