The last day of the semester for Martin High is Thursday and he wanted to share the end of his long recruitment with his classmates.
“I wanted to milk it until I really couldn’t any more and I also wanted to share it with my teammates and my classmates, the whole commitment ceremony deal,” Toviano said. “It’s been a roller coaster. There’s bad days and there’s good days behind it. Ultimately, there’s bad days and there’s good days behind it. Ultimately, I tried to keep it closer to my group of people, keep it to where we have the idea of where we wanted to land at.
“It’s been fun though, getting to see the universities and basically, you’re dreams can come true right before your eyes. I enjoyed it. I’m at ease with it. I’m settled with the decision I’m making here.”
Javien Toviano ranks as the No. 55 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No. 6 safety and the No. 9 player in the state of Texas.

Javien Toviano scouting report
“Heady, pure football player who makes an impact in all three phases. Projects as a defensive back long-term with the highest upside likely being at safety. Has good size at 6-foot-.5, 180 pounds with long arms (6-foot-4 wing-span). Instinctive and physical as a defender. Diagnoses and triggers quickly as a run defender.
“Has very good change of direction with the ability to redirect in coverage, which he backs up with strong agility marks in the combine setting. Has performed well in covering some touted receivers at the high school level. Doubles as a running back and makes plays on special teams. Lacks the pure top-end speed of top cornerbacks. Plays faster than he tests, but will need to improve his speed to be a top corner. Physical and on-field skill set lines up best at safety at this time.”
