Texas high school football was front-and-center on Day 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft.

This is the worst rule in the NFL by far.

Now that the 2020 season has (finally) ended, we can look back on five teams that surprised us most this season based on their projections inside the 2020’s Dave Campbell’s Texas Football Magazine.

In a clash that was originally scheduled to open the 100th season of UIL football, Austin Westlake (14-0) beat Southlake Carroll (12-2), 52-34, in the 6A DI state title to cap off a tumultuous year that stretched all the way into the new year. The Chaps’ Division I championship comes after winning the Division II title a year ago.

The Katy Tigers (15-1) steamrolled their way to their ninth state title with a 51-14 win over Cedar Hill (12-3) Saturday inside AT&T Stadium in the 6A DII state championship. Katy joins Aledo and Richland Springs as the only UIL programs with at least nine titles.

Denton Ryan (15-0) ran the table the whole way as the top team in 5A Division I, finally capping off the 2020 season with its third state championship with a 59-14 rout over Cedar Park Friday night inside AT&T Stadium. It’s the Raiders’ first title since 2002.

DeMarco Roberts scored six touchdowns and Alabama receiver signee JoJo Earle finished with 224 total yards to lead Aledo to a 56-21 victory over Crosby in the 5A DII championship.
