North Lamar Panther Jackson Brasseux recently committed to play baseball collegiately at Rice University.

Jackson Brasseux might have just been a sophomore last year, but his play on the baseball diamond for the North Lamar Panthers was stellar enough this year to turn the heads of his peers and college scouts alike. Now, he’ll continue his athletic career past high school after committing to Rice University.

Brasseux was always an athletics-minded child growing up, and from a young age he was involved in not only baseball, but football, basketball and tennis as well. However, as he got older, baseball stood out above the other sports he played.
