Dave Campbell's Texas Football surveyed 32 of the top 2021 recruits in Texas high school football to get their honest opinions on several hot topics, including how hard it was to get recruited during COVID-19.

Before we completely flip the page to the 2022 recruiting cycle, Dave Campbell's Texas Football wanted to get down to the bottom of some of the most pressing questions we could think of for 2021 recruits.

So, we surveyed 32 of the top Texas high school football recruits promising anonymity so that they could speak openly and honestly about the questions posed.
