Know the Name: What Jaden Greathouse accomplished that Drew Brees, Justin Tucker, Nick Foles and Sam Ehlinger did not at Austin Westlake

Jaden Greathouse became the first-ever freshman to start on Austin Westlake's storied Texas high school football program, something NFL Hall of Famers Drew Brees and Justin Tucker, Super Bowl champion Nick Foles and Heisman hopeful Sam Ehlinger were unable to do.

Future NFL Hall of Famers Drew Brees and Justin Tucker, Super Bowl champion Nick Foles, and Heisman hopeful Sam Ehlinger did not accomplish at Austin Westlake what Jaden Greathouse was able to in 2019.

Neither was two-time MLB all-star Huston Street, who earned all-state honors in 2000 with a school-record 10 interceptions, NFL linemen Seth McKinney and Brad Shearer or, well, anyone who has ever played for the Chaparrals.

There’s only one freshman to have ever started for Westlake’s football program - one - and he’s going to become a household name outside Austin’s city limits in very short order.

Jaden Greathouse knows all the right things to say, a seasoned vet at answering questions aimed at hyping himself up. He deflects attention toward his teammates, who, collectively, won the 6A Division II state championship in 2019, with the ease with which he brushes off meeker, older defensive backs.

Praise, though, is simply going to be something he has to get used over the next three years before taking his talents to what you should hope is a college program near you.

The ceiling simply isn’t the roof – thanks MJ - with this 6-foot-3, 210-pound menace, who earned District 25-6A Co-Offensive Newcomer of the Year honors after posting 47 receptions for 715 yards and 10 touchdowns last season. He was also named a 2019 MaxPreps High School Freshman All-American.
