Searcy junior receiver/safety Marlon Crockett moved to Searcy from Texas and was a major reason the Lions were able to win the Class 6A state title in 2019.
Crockett (6-4, 195 pounds, 4.51 seconds in the 40-yard dash) transferred from Gregory High School in Portland, Texas, where he was named the District 15-5A DII Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore in 2018.
“Moving in from Texas to Arkansas, it’s a big jump,” Crockett said. “We had a great team. I knew we were going to have great goals and we achieved it. So I really wan’t surprised that we won a state championship.
