High School

Marvin Mims Was Simply Marvelous at Frisco Lonestar

By: Tony Thomas

With a 37-inch vertical leap, he could high point the ball over helpless defenders. A 4-star recruit, he has stamped his name as the leading receiver in Texas high school football history. He is Marvin Mims of Frisco Lonestar.

Mims set the state record for receiving yards in a season (2,626) and career receiving yards (5,485).  He helped lead an offense that averaged 49 points per game. Lonestar scored 40 points in a game twice, 50 points four times, 60 points twice, and 70 points twice.

Mims was named Offensive Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore and the 5A Offensive MVP as a junior.
