Five Elgin High School athletes signed to play at the next level during a signing day ceremony April 30, celebrating the milestone alongside teammates, coaches and family.

Cross country and track standout Matthew Cato committed to the University of Texas at San Antonio. Cato recently advanced to the regional round of the Class 5A track and field championships.

The remaining signees will continue their football careers at the collegiate level.

Offensive lineman Drake McCoy and utility player Michael Wilson both signed with Texas College in Tyler.

Michael Mejias, a key piece of Elgin’s offense last season, committed to Wayland Baptist University.

Defensive end Lewis Reese signed with Independence Community College in Kansas, a program that gained national attention after being featured in the Netflix series “Last Chance U” during the 2017 and 2018 seasons.
