TAPPS Division 1 - District 2
Concordia Lutheran High School-Tomball @clhstxathletics
Head Coach: Willie Amendola @WillieAmendola
📝 2025 Outlook
Concordia Lutheran has steadily built momentum under veteran head coach Willie Amendola, and 2025 could be the year the Crusaders elevate into the top tier of TAPPS Division I. The addition of transfer Rome Stanford provides a jolt of game-breaking athleticism, joining a strong returning core headlined by two-way standout Jaxon Coleman @JaxonColeman45 and physical linebacker Joe Beverly. With depth in the secondary and a veteran front seven, Concordia looks poised to challenge for a playoff spot—and possibly much more.
🔥 Things to Like
🔹 Transfer impact: The arrival of Stanford from district rival St. Pius X immediately raises Concordia’s ceiling, but he isn’t the only addition. DB Henry Mulliner @HenryMulliner from Tomball HS and RB Aiden Glover from Klein Oak add proven athleticism, giving the Crusaders reinforcements in two key spots.
🔹 Defensive leadership and depth: This defense looks seasoned and physical. Clary and Cody Cutrer @CodyCutrer2027 provide proven leadership, while LB Joe Beverly and Connor Reynard @ConnoReynard bring stability in the second level. With Reid Kelley @ReidKelley_50 anchoring the line and versatile playmakers like Coleman and Clark @CarsonClark_6, this unit has the makings of one of the district’s best.
🔹 Strength and balance on offense: Jaxon Coleman @JaxonColeman45 is the offense’s explosive playmaker, and Malik Liberty @MalikLiberty17 adds a reliable ground game. Two-way force 6’2 215lbs Nate Muaka @NathanMuaka3 is expected to emerge as a major piece of the game plan on both sides of the ball, while the offensive line is anchored by Brode Clark @brode_clark48 and William Canovas @WilliamCanovas2, who is drawing Ivy League interest with gameday visit invitations from Brown @BrownU_Football and Cornell @BigRed_Football.
👀 Things to Watch
🔹 Quarterback battle fallout: The Crusaders will open 2025 with junior Ryan Neidigk @Ryan_Neidigk1 under center, edging out sophomore Nicolas Escudero @Nicoesc_QB. Escudero, at 6’3” and 200 lbs, is one of TAPPS’ more highly recruited young quarterbacks, while Neidigk brings steadiness and consistency. How this dynamic unfolds could define the offense’s rhythm.
🔹 Integrating new talent: Between Stanford’s star power, Mulliner’s defensive versatility, and Glover’s backfield quickness, Concordia has added key pieces. How quickly these transfers blend into Amendola’s system will determine if the Crusaders close the gap on district heavyweights.
🔹 Depth in high-leverage games: While Concordia has frontline talent across the board, their ability to maintain production through the grind of district play will decide whether they remain a dangerous spoiler or emerge as a true contender.
