Can an Eagles UDFA keep the momentum going after his breakout game against the Bengals?
The undrafted free agent from Tarleton State has become the Training Camp Darling of 2025 after his six catches for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals. Super Bowl teams are built through the NFL draft, but several legendary players in this league were undrafted and signed as free agents. The Eagles have done well finding key contributors after the draft, and most recently, safety Reed Blankenship, who came out of Middle Tennessee, played more snaps than any rookie in 2022, and has developed into a key contributor on a Super Bowl team. Most of the success stories have involved defensive players. Still, Darius Cooper is looking to join Corey Clement and Chad Lewis as undrafted players who could carve out a role in Philadelphia. The undrafted free agent from Tarleton State has become an Eagles training camp sleeper of 2025 after his six catches for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Bengals. Cooper has looked good throughout training camp and could lock down the fourth, fifth, or potentially sixth wide receiver spot. Attending a university tucked in the middle of Fort Worth and Waco, the St. Louis native made a name for himself after he earned first-team Associated Press FCS All-America honors in his senior season. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound receiver is athletic and finished second in Division I in receiving yards with 1,450 (the second most in single-season school history) and sixth in touchdowns with 14 (the third most in single-season school history) in 2024. In 48 career games, Cooper accumulated 164 catches for 3,185 yards and 29 touchdowns, averaging 19.4 yards per catch.

Will Victoria Cameron Become The NCAA's Newest Track And Field Star At Nationals?
Victoria Cameron (center) was second in the women's 100 meters at the NCAA West First Round in ... More College Station, finishing in 11.01 seconds. Victoria Cameron wasn't supposed to be here. At least, that wasn't the plan initially, with the Tarleton State University sophomore hardly envisioning a future at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships coming out of Stephenville High School. Didn't matter that Cameron came up just seven-hundredths of a second short of Sha'Carri Richardson's Class 4A 100 meter record at the UIL State Outdoor Championships in May of 2023. Nor did it matter that anyone with eyes could see she had an innate ability to run fast. Cameron had already committed to play soccer at Tarleton State, just a couple miles down the road from where she grew up. And two years ago, she was committed to it. But then, maybe a month before her college start – or maybe as she put her hands on the fence overlooking the pasture at home where her family's favorite cow grazed – things flipped. 'I realized I couldn't really leave track,' said Cameron, who lives about four miles from her college campus, in a town of just over 20,000. 'Like, there was this attachment to it.' What a decision that turned out to be. As Tarleton State made its full-fledged transition to the NCAA Division I in July of 2024, Cameron exploded as a track athlete in 2025, reaching indoor nationals in March before another national qualification came in May. '(I) just want to put my hometown college on the map,' she said. Cameron enters the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Thursday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon with the eighth-fastest wind-legal time in college at 11.01 seconds, securing that effort at the NCAA Division I West First Round in College Station. Still, there's a star quality that seems to encircle her. Take a moment from regionals, for instance. Cameron was recognized inside a restaurant …in College Station, Texas. 'It just makes me happy to have seen that,' she said. 'Like, if my name's out there, my college's name is out there.' That being said, Cameron currently splits her time between two sports. This fall, she logged 230 minutes in 18 games with the Tarleton State's women's soccer team, scoring a goal and generally cutting her teeth in the collegiate game. A few years ago, University of Kentucky track and field legend Abby Steiner did the same. On the track, however, Cameron is an exceptional sprinter. From her first outing at 100 meters at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in March to her most recent performance at the Regional Championships – a timeline spanning six meets – Cameron only got better with time, clocking progressive performances of 11.33, 11.25, 11.05 and 11.01 over her last four meets. In the same venue where she won a state-championship winning 100 meter time of 11.35 seconds in 2023, Cameron ripped off a wind-assisted 11.09 inside Mike Myers Stadium. A few weeks later, in Denton, Texas, she ran a wind-legal 11.22. 'I love seeing my times go down over time,' she said. 'Nothing feels better than having a PR so, I don't know, my love for the sport just kind of helps put everything in place.' In May, Cameron was named the WAC Conference's women's track athlete of the year. This weekend will mark the first time over the outdoor season she will race outside Texas. The bigger question lies in wake: Will she be able to break 11 seconds? Cameron is on the cusp of a barrier that few women in college history have ever reached. Her career best 11.01 is 71st in U.S. history and she's just outside the NCAA's top 25 all-time performances. 'As soon as I got to the line, I had an overwhelming feeling of just being able to lock in,' Cameron said of her race. 'And then when I came out of the blocks, I kind of knew I was behind, but the biggest key to that race was just having patience throughout it all.' That being said, the college sophomore isn't perfect. In the prelims at indoor nationals in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a poor start hindered her first 20 meters and she suffered at the line, running 7.38 seconds–a little over two-tenths off of her career-best 7.16. Cameron said her focus this spring has been about fixing those issues. She's been working on block starts and her reaction time. While the first variable is physical, the second is in some ways mental. 'My reaction time over the season has proven to be a hit or miss – either I'm last out of the blocks, or I'm right up with everyone,' she said. 'So I could definitely improve.' Tarleton State sophomore Victoria Cameron qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the ... More women's 100 meters at the NCAA West First Round in May. It would be unfair to say that Cameron is the favorite heading into nationals. Four women enter NCAAs with season bests under 11 seconds – TCU's Indya Mayberry, LSU's Tima Godbless, Ohio State's Leah Bertrand and Florida State's Shenese Walker – while Cameron would have to secure two nearly perfect races across two rounds to claim victory. But there's no doubt she's chasing the moment. On Thursday, she'll bring the Tarleton logo to Tracktown, a revered site for track and field greatness. 'As my coach would say, 'I don't want it to be a 'Tarleton-Question-Mark,' I want it to be a 'Tarleton-Exclamation-Point,'' Cameron said. 'That's the goal here.' Leaving her indoor performance behind her, Cameron insists anything can happen this weekend in Eugene. The first objective is reaching the final. The second will be to give herself a shot to win it. 'I believe really anything is possible within track and field due to the fact that it's not a very forgiving sport,' she said. Indoors, the girl with the fastest time ended up false starting, so anything can happen. So you just gotta give it your all and believe that you're going to win it before you run it. Nationals begins on Wednesday starting at 1:30 p.m. at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. You can follow live results here. Men's and women's competition will alternate days, with the men's first round action beginning on June 11, the women's first round following on June 12 and then men's and women's finals taking place on June 13 and June 14. The women's 100 meter first round will kick off at 5:15 p.m. PST on June 12. In the men's competition, Minnesota is looking to win its first national team title since 1948.

STEM Academy celebrates seniors with Signing Day
May 12—With friends, family, fellow students and staff on hand, STEM Academy seniors on Monday celebrated the end of their high school careers with Signing Day. This is the largest senior class in the 11-year history of STEM Academy, high school English teacher Keli Morris said. It also features two sets of twins, Rory and Reese Batte and Mason and Noah Leet. The Battes are going to Tarleton State and the Leets to Texas A&M. Rory is the valedictorian and Reese is the salutatorian of the class. Shannon Davidson, executive director of the STEM Academy, said this was a milestone for the students, the school and the class of 2025. Monday's event in the University of Texas Permian Basin gym is the fifth signing day for the school. "Senior Signing Day is more than just a tradition. It's a celebration of academic achievements and hard work," Davidson said. "This moment wouldn't be possible without the support of the families, our dedicated teachers and especially our amazing academic counselor, Miss (Jennifer) Coleman. "Your commitment to these students' success is what makes events like this so meaningful," Davidson said. When STEM Academy opened 11 years ago, these seniors were 7 years old and in second grade. Some of them have been at STEM the whole time. "In that time, our seniors have taken 20 STAAR exams. They've attended two proms, danced at four winter formals and mastered approximately 55 fire drills. They are pros now. They've competed in two homecoming flag football games, and of course, the seniors won. ... and ... next week, will participate in seven legendary boat races with more sunken cardboard than we could ever count. Fifty-one, that's the total number of seniors In this year's class. All 51 have passed all five STAAR EOCs, and all 51 are considered college ready by the State of Texas," Davidson said. "That's a 100% college ready graduation rate. Every single senior has successfully completed college-level coursework to earn that distinction. That's incredible," she added. Also, 100 percent of the class has applied and been accepted to a college or university. The students will be heading to 16 colleges or universities and all but one is in Texas. Fourteen of the seniors will continue their education at UTPB and five students will go to Odessa College, Davidson said. The students have taken 454 dual credit courses the seniors have completed. Together, they've earned over 1,200 college credit hours, which is averaging about eight courses or 22 credits per student. "Even more impressive, we have 32 of our seniors, which is over 60%, have earned more than 15 dual credit college hours, and 11 of those students have exceeded 60 college credit hours, which is the equivalent of two years' worth of college that they have earned and have also earned an associate's degree, and that's an incredible head start," Davidson said. She added that each senior has left their own mark on the campus. "Together, they've helped shape what the STEM Academy stands for. These numbers help quantify the achievements of our amazing senior class the previous classes set the bar high, but the class of 2025, you definitely rose to the challenge," Davidson said. "To our seniors, today is a moment to reflect on everything you have accomplished. You've worked hard, overcome challenges, and you have proven that you are ready for your future," she added. Eight days are all that remain in the school year. Graduation will be at 7 p.m. May 22 at the Wagner Noel Performing Arts Center. Karey Grametbaur, Project Lead the Way teacher, said the festivities Monday also included a Pathway Celebration. The students that have had three years in their pathway were recognized with items that go with their pathways like a white coat for lab and a hard hat for engineering. The pathways also include teaching. Community partners who provided internships for the students also were recognized. Isaac Rangel, 17, and Kamryn Kershaw and Elise Jones, both 18, are all heading off to college. Rangel and Kershaw are going to Angelo State University and Jones is going to UT San Antonio. Kershaw said she and Rangel have been at STEM since second grade. The concept of graduating is scary and even more so since it's only eight days away, Kershaw said. But at the same time, "... It's really exciting," Kershaw added. Jones said it's kind of nerve racking realizing she's going to be moving away in a couple of months. Commencement felt so far away at the beginning of the year and now it's so close. All three said they were shy when they came to STEM but it has helped them come out of their shells. They all noted that the school's program expanded their knowledge and increased their opportunities. "It's very bittersweet, because, as she said, we've been together since second grade, and this whole class is very tight. We all know each other very well, so moving away from each other and going our most separate ways, is kind of scary," Rangel said.
