Rockwall high school varsity running back and blue chip recruit Chris Warren takes some time to share words of wisdom with RYCA Jackets, Rockwall’s premier youth football league. The younger Chris Warren is the son of former NFL standout Chris Warren. The senior has tweeted that he is looking to potentially attend Texas Tech, Texas, Stanford, Oregon, Iowa and Washington (in no particular order). The 6’ 2”, 232-punder is ranked number 136 overall nationally and number 11 athlete in the country. He rushed for 747 yards and 11 touchdowns last fall at 6.9 yards per carry before being injured. This year, Youth Jacket Football Players will get to see #25 running up and down the field for Rockwall High School as they play in the largest UIL Class 6A division.
Warren took time out of his workout schedule to spend some time with the RYCA Jackets. The Rockwall Youth Community Athletics (RYCA) Jackets are proud to be a part of the Rockwall County Community as a premier youth sports program. The RYCA has a strong commitment to principles and strives to be a community-driven organization with the genuine participation of athletes, volunteers, parents, family members, teachers, school administrators and local businesses. The RYCA family is encouraged to attend community and district events and to always support the community displaying Jacket Pride.
The organization is devoted to inspiriting young athletes (kindergarten through 6th grade) giving them the challenge of competition, joy of victory, reality of defeat, importance of commitment and spirit in the community. These values and virtues are important to athletes’ growth and to them becoming active members of the community and society.
This weekend, the RYCA Youth Football Organization hosted the annual, Battle of the Rock tournament where 17 youth football teams participated. Teams were from Mesquite, Dallas, Melissa, Heath, and Rockwall. Currently, the RYCA Jackets are one of the largest youth football programs in North Texas with 193 kids in the program learning and running the same plays as Rockwall High School Varsity Football team.
