Ten student-athletes from Princeton High School signed National Letters of Intent with their future colleges during a signing ceremony held May 5 in the school gymnasium.
Five of the signees came from the Panthers football program.
Senior tight end/wide receiver Jaks Craig signed with Community Christian College. Defensive tackle Tevin Miller committed to University of Saint Mary, while wide receiver Collin Fannin-White signed with Austin College.
Offensive lineman Alex Robinson will continue his career at Arkansas Baptist College. Running back Dakota Lee signed with Beloit College, where he will join fellow Princeton senior quarterback Marcus Flowers.
Multi-sport standout Jordan Mosley, who was unable to attend the ceremony, signed with Texas A&M University–Texarkana.
The Princeton boys soccer team also had one signee, as midfielder Ryan Garcia committed to Centenary College of Louisiana.
Less than one week after competing in the Region I-6A meet in the 800-meter run, Princeton track and field standout Will Smith signed with Texas A&M Texarkana.
Princeton starting right fielder Kayden Cochrane signed with Trinity College of Florida to continue his baseball career.
Three-time state qualifier Erin Marquez signed with Northeastern State University.
Marquez will be part of the inaugural recruiting class for Northeastern State’s women’s wrestling program, which begins competition this fall. The school will become the only NCAA women’s wrestling program in Oklahoma.
Marquez finished her high school career with a 146-41 record. During her senior season, she posted a 42-8 mark, placed second at district, third at regionals and won two matches at the state tournament.
As for Cochrane, Princeton head baseball coach Leroy Mansanales said the senior consistently worked to improve throughout his four years in the program.
“He always wanted to get better,” Mansanales said. “Whether it was during practice or hitting in the batting cages, he was always working.”
Cochrane finished his senior season with six RBIs in District 6-6A play.
Smith wrapped up his standout track and field career by placing 11th in the 800 at the Region I-6A meet in Arlington. He also placed third at area and second at the District 6-6A meet. Smith additionally helped Princeton’s 4×400 relay qualify for regionals. Last season, he ran on the same relay team that broke the school record.
On the soccer field, Garcia anchored Princeton’s midfield and was one of the team’s top offensive contributors. He led the Panthers in assists as a junior. This season, Garcia scored five goals and earned All-District 6-6A honorable mention honors.
The six football signees helped lead Princeton to a resurgent 2025 campaign, as the Panthers finished 6-4 for their first winning season since 2015.
Despite suffering a season-ending injury after seven games, Mosley still led Princeton receivers with 937 yards and 13 total touchdowns. He also recorded the game-sealing interception in a 41-34 win over Rock Hill and was later named the district’s Offensive Player of the Year.
Craig battled through injuries and appeared in three games during his senior season. Fannin-White finished second on the team with 587 receiving yards and three touchdowns, while Lee emerged as a breakout player after rushing for 574 yards and four touchdowns.
Miller totaled 29 tackles during his senior season, while Robinson returned from injury to bolster Princeton’s offensive line.
