Former Jones quarterback Daxx Garman, who found himself in the middle of an eligibility controversy last season that left the Longhorns out of the playoffs, has committed to Arizona.
Garman is currently attending Choctaw but it’s unclear whether he will play for the Yellowjackets next year as a senior or move on elsewhere.
Choctaw coach Bill Bays said he’s received letters for Garman and has given them to the student but there has been no discussion over whether he would play.
“I don’t know about any of that but he’s a really good young man and very polite,” Bays said. “I’m happy to hear that for him.”
Garman also had an offer from North Carolina.
If he decided to play in-state next year, Garman would have to receive a hardship waiver from the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association.
Jones was forced to forfeit six wins, five from district play, late last season after Garman was ruled ineligible. Garman had transferred from Choctaw to Carl Albert and then moved into the Jones district and started going to school there. But because of his previous status as a transfer, a hardship waiver was required. Jones never filed for a waiver for Garman and a retroactive waiver application was denied.
Garman threw for 2,107 yards and 23 touchdowns last season.
Choctaw defensive end Hunter Davis received his first Division I offer last week when Kansas State extended an offer.
“He’s a big, strong, athletic young man,” Bays said. “There’s absolutely no doubt he’s got the tools to be a Division I football player.”
