New Oklahoma State running back commit Jaden Nixon ended a Texas high school football mini-dynasty.
That’s how the story goes anyway. During the 2019 Texas high school football playoffs, Nixon’s Lone Star Rangers went up against Jerry Jones’ (grandson’s) Highland Park Scots.
Highland Park was the back-to-back-to-back state champs (shouts to Fred McGriff), but Lone Star — behind Nixon, all-world receiver (and 2020 OU commit) Marvin Mims and (2022 OSU offer) Garrett Rangel — downed them on Nixon’s seventh (and most important) carry. Here it is.
It was quite a moment and also quite a game.
