Navarro Independent School District

Geronimo, TX - February 5, 2026 — Yesterday, Navarro High School proudly celebrated the hard work and dedication of two standout student-athletes, Braddock Gallini and Mason Harvey, as they officially committed to continue their athletic and academic careers at the collegiate level.

Braddock Gallini: Southern Virginia University

Braddock Gallini, son of Jared and Natausha Gallini, has officially signed to play football for Southern Virginia University. A multi-talented athlete and scholar, Braddock’s high school career was defined by versatility and consistency.

• Athletic Honors: Recognized as an Honorable Mention Wide Receiver and earned 2nd Team honors at both Defensive End and Tight End during his junior and senior years. He was also selected to play in the San Antonio Sports All Star Football Game in January.
• Academic Excellence: A three-year Academic All-District honoree, balancing football with participation in FFA and the Psychology Club.
• Future Plans: Before hitting the field for the Knights, Braddock will embark on a two-year mission trip, during which he plans to maintain a rigorous training schedule.

For Braddock, the decision to choose SVU was rooted in family and the future. "The coaching staff made a huge impact, and I’m incredibly excited to be part of something bigger," Gallini said. "Most importantly, I get the chance to play football with my older brother Knox again." 

Following graduation, Braddock’s journey will take a unique turn as he embarks on a two-year mission trip. While his specific destination remains a mystery for now—with the potential to be sent anywhere in the world—he expects to receive his assignment in roughly two months. "Where I go will be completely random," he noted. "I'm hoping for somewhere cool, though." Upon his return, Braddock plans to study Construction Management with the goal of building custom homes.

Mason Harvey: Texas Lutheran University

Mason Harvey, son of Jeff and Kim Harvey, has officially committed to Texas Lutheran University, where he will join the Bulldogs' football program. Mason has been a powerhouse for the Panthers, competing in football, track, and powerlifting.

• Athletic Honors: Mason earned 1st Team All-District honors on the gridiron and proved his strength as a three-time Regional qualifier in powerlifting.
• Academic Focus: Mason will pursue a degree in Kinesiology while competing for TLU.

When asked about his commitment, Mason highlighted the benefit of the university's location. "Getting to stay close to home was a big factor for me," Harvey noted. His transition to the Bulldogs' roster marks the next chapter of a career defined by explosive athleticism and local pride.

Both Gallini and Harvey represent the best of Navarro athletics—demonstrating that success is built through a combination of physical grit and classroom discipline.

"We are incredibly proud of Braddock and Mason," said Coach Glenn Hill. "They haven't just been leaders on the field; they’ve been leaders in our hallways. We look forward to watching them represent our community at the next level."
