From Cedar Hill linebacker Chris Francis to New Jersey quarterback Matt Simms, familiar names are continuing a family tradition Wednesday, the first day to sign a national letter of intent to play college football.

Francis signed with Baylor, the alma mater of his father James, a former first-round draft pick for the Bengals. Matt is following the quarterbacking footsteps of father Phil and his older brother Chris, who played at Texas.

The future of 6-5 freshman Jackson Jeffcoat is bright as well. He was a starting defensive end/linebacker at Class 5A Plano West as a ninth grader this past season, The son of former Arizona State and Dallas Cowboys DE Jim Jeffcoat also is considered one of the nation's top basketball prospects. He'll be part of the Signing Class of 2010.
