A Q&A with Matt Davenport, founder of The Texas High School Helmet Project

You may not know Matt, but if you're a high school football fan, you've seen his helmets everywhere.

A few years ago, txhshelmetproject.com shut down after its creator, Matt Davenport had to divert his attention away from the site to more important things like family and work. But the site made a lasting impact on the culture of Texas high school football, and as a company deeply invested in that culture, we couldn't stand to see the work lost. That's why we created an archive and tribute to those helmets, to keep them alive and updated for the foreseeable future. Lucky for us, we found a way to make it work for Matt, as well. If you enjoy the helmets, we thought you'd like get to know the man behind them a little bit more.
