Brian Cummins

Ranked at number six in his senior class, Brian Cummins has been a member of the National Honor Society for two years. A four-year member of the football team, he served as a team captain this year and was named to the honorable mention defense for the 2007 all-district football team.

Brian also was named to the Class 4A State Farm Texas Academic All-State Second Team. Other activities include powerlifting and four years of track.

A member of Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Brian also is a member of First Assembly of God Church and is active in the youth group of his church.

In addition to his other activities, Brian volunteers with a group from the church who visit local nursing homes and entertains them by singing. Brian said that he had taken his brother's place in this group when he graduated from high school.

"I've been doing this for about four years now," he said. "I enjoy seeing the smiles on the people's faces. I know a lot of them don't get many visitors and our visits make them happy and I enjoy seeing that."

Brian intends to major in biology and would like to play football when he attends Trinity University in San Antonio this fall.

"Brian is an excellent student, member of our community and a very well-rounded person," principal Bob Callahan said.

Cummins receives high honor, gets scholarship offer
...
Jacksonville High School senior Brian Cummins will get part of his college tuition free because of his status as a National Merit Scholarship Finalist.
...
Most finalists find out in March if they've won a scholarship, but Brian already has the colleges calling.

He's earned it.

Brian is Student Council treasurer, Spanish Club president, first baseman for the varsity baseball team, student council representative for the National Honor Society, and he'll be playing part of "Doody" in the senior class production of "Grease."
...
Despite the full tuitions offered, Brian decided Arizona State is too far from home, and Texas Tech didn't have the biomedical engineering program he wants to study.

"A&M has committed they will sponsor him, and he's pretty much decided he's going to be an Aggie," Mike said."To an old Longhorns dad, it's pretty tough."

Brian himself was raised a UT fan, and has told his dad he'll wear his orange Longhorns shirt to classes.
