<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Reagan Rattlers, a Texas football powerhouse, finished the 2024 season 7-4 overall and 6-1 in district play. Led by Head Coach Lyndon Hamilton, the Rattlers had a strong season, showcasing their trademark physicality and discipline. Their playoff run ended in a tough loss to the Brennan Bears, cutting short a promising campaign. Following Hamilton's return to Gonzales as head coach, longtime Defensive Coordinator Preston Meyer was promoted to lead the program in 2025. With Meyer's defensive mindset and continuity, the Rattlers are expected to remain a top tier contender in the state. Here are some of the playmakers for the rattlers to be on the look out for:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2025 Reagan Rattlers Football Schedule</strong></h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul class="wp-block-list"><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Aug 29</strong> – vs <strong>Brennan</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Sept 5</strong> – @ <strong>Steele</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Sept 12</strong> – @ <strong>Temple</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Sept 27</strong> – @ <strong>SA Roosevelt</strong>*</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Oct 3</strong> – @ <strong>Madison</strong>*</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Oct 10</strong> – @ <strong>Johnson</strong>*</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Oct 17</strong> – vs <strong>LEE</strong>*</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Oct 24</strong> – @ <strong>Churchill</strong>*</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Oct 31</strong> – vs <strong>Clark</strong>*</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Nov 6</strong> – @ <strong>Brandeis</strong>*</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1704949,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1754994' first='Rayshun' last='Hurt']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-686c1303a2b19"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rayshun is a dynamic back with a natural feel for the game. He runs with balance, vision, and toughness between the tackles, but what sets him apart is his burst through the hole and ability to make defenders miss in open space. He's got great short area quickness and doesn't waste movement every cut has purpose. Rayshun isn't just a one-dimensional runner; he's shown the ability to catch out of the backfield and block when needed, making him a true every-down threat. With continued development, he has the tools to be one of the top backs in the area.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1704953,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"RC Wagner","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"230","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2407","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-686c1303a2bde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">RC is the kind of tight end every offense needs physical at the point of attack and willing to do the dirty work in the trenches.

He's a true asset in the run game, often functioning like an extra offensive lineman. But don't let the blocking fool you RC can also be a reliable weapon in the passing game.

The transfer to Reagan gives him a fresh opportunity to lead a dynamic offense, and with continued growth, Jace has the tools to be a game changer at the high school level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":1705009,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Jykel Harmon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-686c1303a2f95"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jykel is a versatile and athletic defensive back who brings a high level of energy and competitiveness to the field. He has quick feet and fluid hips, allowing him to mirror receivers effectively in man coverage. Jykel reads the quarterback well and has a knack for making plays on the ball, whether it's a timely break-up or an interception. He's also reliable in run support, showing solid tackling technique and fearlessness in traffic. With his blend of speed, instincts, and physicality, Jykel projects as a lockdown corner or a ball hawking safety at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With a mix of veteran leadership, emerging young talent, and a coaching staff that knows how to win, the Reagan Rattlers are poised to be a real threat in 2025. If they can stay healthy and build off last year's momentum, don't be surprised if this team makes a serious push deep into the playoffs. The pieces are there now it's time to put it all together under the Friday night lights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The Reagan Rattlers, a Texas football powerhouse, finished the 2024 season 7-4 overall and 6-1 in district play. Led by Head Coach Lyndon Hamilton, the Rattlers had a strong season, showcasing their trademark physicality and discipline. Their playoff run ended in a tough loss to the Brennan Bears, cutting short a promising campaign. Following Hamilton's return to Gonzales as head coach, longtime Defensive Coordinator Preston Meyer was promoted to lead the program in 2025. With Meyer's defensive mindset and continuity, the Rattlers are expected to remain a top tier contender in the state. Here are some of the playmakers for the rattlers to be on the look out for:
