Texas Football has long been the standard of the Nation.  Every town finds children playing in fields throughout the year no matter what the temperature is outside.  Elementary schools have organized teams, communities have prestigious select organizations, middle schools have crosstown rivalries, and city businesses revolve their hours around Friday night football games.

The Heisman Trophy has been awarded to Texas High School and College prodigies like Johnny Manziel, Robert Griffin III, Ricky Williams, Ty Detmer, Andre Ware, Tim Brown, Billy Sims, Earl Campbell, John David Crow, Doak Walker, while four Heisman Trophy winners have dawned the famous Dallas Cowboys Star; Eddie George, Herschel Walker, Tony Dorsett, and Roger Staubach.
