Is this homegrown talent who may have left the state or kids from state schools. Ex. New Orleans or LSU?

Home grown first rounders. Doesn't matter where they played college ball

I think I'm going to bump this so more people can see the greatness that is Texas High School Football!

Some of you really suck at counting. Matt Jones? Reggie Bush?
Posted on 1/7/14 at 2:46 pm to Hugh McElroy
