Every fall, football recruiting cycles come and go — boiling gifted young men's very lives down into a kaleidoscope of ratings, rumors and Friday night lights.

The decision, ultimately, is a minute part — a necessary end — of a much larger journey. The path is littered with sycophants, onlookers, interjections and forks in the road.

"On an Island" follows Brandon Jones of Nacogdoches, the nation's No. 1 safety recruit, as he navigates the highs, lows and obstacles of his process.

This is a coveted recruit's reality.

This is Brandon's story.

This production was a collaboration between TexAgs, Ryan Booth and Henry Proegler.

Ryan is a talented director of photography based out of Houston and this is his first documentary film as “Director.” We have worked with Ryan before in the post-production of SEC Ready where he did the final color grading for the film.

Henry is an Austin-based producer that operates through his production company, Embassy.

We were excited to be able to collaborate with these talented individuals and look forward to more collaborations in the future.
