Sharyland High senior defender Angel Tellez signed his national letter of intent Friday, committing to continue his academic and soccer career at Texas A&M-San Antonio, an NAIA university that plays in the Red River Athletic Conference.
Tellez was a two-year letterwinner with the Rattlers. He joins the Jaguars after a dominant senior season, earning the District 31-5A Defender of the Year award. Tellez also earned a selection to the Texas Association of Soccer Coaches All-Region 2nd Team.
Tellez played a key role for the Rattlers defense during his final year, helping the team to an 8-3-3 record during district play while outscoring opponents 37-23, including four shutouts.
During the postseason, Tellez anchored the defense during a 5-0 rout of the Corpus Christi Ray Texans during the Region IV-5A area round, helping send the Ratters to an appearance in the Region IV-5A quarterfinals.
