Now in its ninth year, Dave Campbell's Texas Football and Whataburger are once again teaming up to recognize the best and brightest in Texas high school football with the 2026 Whataburger Super Team.

This fall, fans from across the state will have the chance to nominate standout players for a spot on the 300-player ballot.

In November, voting will open at TexasFootball.com/WhataSuperTeam, where communities can rally behind their athletes to narrow the field from 300 nominees to the final 40 honorees, who will be announced in January 2027.

Preseason Super Team Offensive MVP

RB Landen Williams-Callis (5'7, 190) - Richmond Randle
With over 70 offers, Williams-Callis is the most heavily recruited prospect in the state and a DCTX five-star. He was named Built Ford Tough Player of the Year in 5A after rushing for more than 3,500 yards and scoring 60 total touchdowns in 2025. He has scored 132 career touchdowns and won a state title in 2024.

First Team Preseason Offense

QB: Kavian Bryant (6'0, 170) - Palestine Westwood
Bryant is a dynamic dual-threat quarterback with explosive playmaking ability and one of the strongest arms in the state. He threw for 3,407 yards and 37 touchdowns while adding 740 rushing yards and seven scores on the ground. The District 9-3A Division I Offensive MVP is a dangerous creator with the ball in his hands.

RB: Sarod Baker (5'10, 195) - DeSoto
Baker delivered a dominant playoff run that helped power DeSoto to a state championship, finishing with over 4,400 total yards and 44 touchdowns. The District 11-6A co-MVP and Navy All-American Bowl selection combines a quarterback background with a high football IQ and consistent clutch production. The DCTX four-star elevates his game when the lights are brightest.

WR: Julian Caldwell (6'1, 185) - Argyle
Caldwell is a polished, advanced route runner who can create consistent separation at all three levels. He tracks the ball well, wins at the catch point, and operates efficiently within the full route tree. A statistical monster, the DCTX four-star produced 94 receptions for 1,737 yards and 20 touchdowns despite battling nagging injuries.

WR: Benny Easter Jr. (6'2, 190) - Humble Summer Creek
Easter is a dynamic, do-it-all receiver with true vertical speed and explosive after-the-catch ability. He can stretch the field, work underneath, and create in space with the ball in his hands. A consistent big-play threat and return option, he produced at a high level and delivered in high-pressure situations. A member of the 1,000-yard club.

WR: Tre Moore (6'3, 200) - Pflugerville Weiss
Moore is a big-bodied, physical receiver who consistently wins contested catches and 50-50 balls. He tracks the football naturally, plays strong over the top of defensive backs, and is a reliable red zone target. A highly productive junior season confirmed his status as one of the top wideouts in the state with true No. 1 receiver traits.

OL: Kennedy Brown (6'5, 285) - Humble Kingwood
Brown is the No. 1-rated offensive tackle in the state and a DCTX five-star with the versatility to play tackle or guard at the next level. He owns a 90-plus-inch wingspan and rare length, giving him projectable NFL upside after college. A clear-cut team leader who is overwhelmingly strong at the point of attack.

OL: Ismael Camara (6'6, 330) - Gilmer
The French native has been affectionately dubbed the 'French Freak' for his unbelievable combination of size and athleticism. He dominated with 170 pancake blocks and did not allow a sack to earn District Offensive Lineman of the Year honors. He is powerful at the point of attack and plays with a noticeable mean streak.  

OL: Peyton Miller (6'5, 300) - Anna
Miller is a national-level prospect who plays with tremendous leverage, rooted in his wrestling background. The Under Armor All-American is one of the most battle-tested in the state with four years of varsity experience and a state title under his belt. He has experience at center, guard, and tackle, and projects as one of the best center prospects in America.

OL: Kaeden Scott (6'7, 290) - San Antonio Roosevelt
Scott is a powerful, long force up front, using consistent hand placement in pass protection. He moves well for his size, showing the ability to climb to the second level and finish blocks in the run game. A Navy All-American and first-team all-district selection, he is a physical, reliable lineman with clear All-Conference upside.

OL: Brian Swanson (6'5, 315) - South Oak Cliff
Swanson moves extremely well at over 300 pounds, showing the ability to climb to the second level and finish blocks in space. A first-team all-district selection and Under Armour All-American, he helped lead a state championship run at South Oak Cliff while showing an ability to play both tackle and guard, a versatile chess piece up front.

Utility: Karece Hoyt (6'2, 200) - Frisco Lone Star
Hoyt is a true Swiss Army knife who has lined up at quarterback, running back, wide receiver, safety, and linebacker during his prep career. His size and speed give him positional flexibility at the next level. The DCTX four-star is a team leader with a high football IQ, and his coaches praise him for his work ethic.
