The 2021 high school football season concluded nearly four weeks ago on Saturday, December 18, after the last three Texas UIL state championship games were held that day at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Three Texas Longhorn football signees left Arlington as state champions that week, and another signee won a California state title in the prior week.
Those Longhorn signees helping their teams to a state title in December kept alive a streak that I’ve documented in past years: at least one future Texas Longhorn has been a member of a UIL state championship team in every season going back to 1996.
