2025 Forney LB Kelvion Riggins commits to Texas A&M

Enforcers in the defensive front seven are always in high demand, and Mike Elko & Co. welcomed the addition of one of the biggest defensive enforcers in Texas as Forney (TX) linebacker Kelvion Riggins‍ announced his commitment to Texas A&M.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound linebacker is a violent, sideline-to-sideline defender with explosive downhill ability. He has short space quickness and is comfortable in coverage and in the open field.

These traits, along with an imposing physical presence, have made him a highly sought recruit since his freshman year.

He began his high school career at Dallas South Oak Cliff, and he transferred to Forney before the 2023 season. As a junior, he recorded 101 total tackles, 11 TFLs, six sacks, and 12 QB hurries to help Forney to a 13-2 record and second-team all-district honors.

Riggins becomes the Aggies’ second commitment of the 2025 recruiting class, and he is the first defender in the group. He is currently rated a four-star prospect, and he is ranked No. 27 in the TexAgs Texas Top 100.

if you watch his tape, it's hard to imagine anyone ahead of him. Maybe he missed some games or was in another position for some. I have seen few Linebacker tapes ever more impressive than his junior tape.

Best thing about him is that he's a square up, wrap first tackler, not a striker. Each tackle in the highlight video is a good, clean wrapup and drag down. Second best thing, it looks like he's barely running at half speed the entire tape and still closing in faster than anyone can block him. Kids are just shaking their heads in disbelief.

2nd team All District my peanut butter ass

There were a lot of Texas HS receivers rated higher than Anias.

Understatement if ever. Anias was a 3 star hiding a high 4 star inside. Will give Fisher credit for wanting him and staying after him. The media missed big time in their evaluation.


Riggins will turn out just fine. Excellent pickup by the staff.
