Lamar is going to plug this one hard. Local boy come home. Can't say that I've seen such a lengthy write-up on someone that is not a very familiar name...

Chavis also commented on the excitement of playing for the only Division I football program in Southeast Texas.

"It's great to have a program in Beaumont," said Chavis, who is listed at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds. "Had they had a program four or five years ago I am sure that myself and quite a few others (in the area) would have considered playing at Lamar to stay closer to home.

"And you can already see from the first prep signing class how coach Woodard and his staff have secured some of the best talent this region has to offer."
