H.R. No. 264
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Cuero High School football star Jordan Whittington
closed his senior season in triumphant fashion when he helped the
Gobblers football team win its first state championship in over
three decades; and
WHEREAS, A dominant force on both sides of the ball,
Mr. Whittington was named both the Offensive and Defensive Most
Valuable Player in the 4A Division 2 state title game after running
for a record-breaking 334 yards and accounting for a team-high 11
tackles; during the course of the 2018 season, he rushed for 846
yards and 14 touchdowns, caught 49 passes for 948 yards and 13
touchdowns, and racked up 86 tackles; his accomplishments are all
the more impressive given that he missed the first four games of the
year due to injury; and
WHEREAS, In recognition of his outstanding play,
Mr. Whittington was named the 2018 4A Built Ford Tough Texas High
School Player of the Year and was selected as a First Team
All-American by MaxPreps; he will continue his gridiron career in
2019 as a member of the Longhorns football team at The University of
Texas at Austin; and
WHEREAS, Jordan Whittington has pursued his goals with
remarkable drive and an enduring commitment to excellence, and he
may take great pride in all that he has achieved as he looks ahead to
a college career bright with promise; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate Jordan Whittington on his
outstanding accomplishments as a member of the Cuero High School
football team and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued
success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Mr. Whittington as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
