The football playoffs began last week for Texas high schools. Sixteen future Longhorns had playoff games last week, and this week there will be fifteen. Three Texas Longhorn commits lost their playoff games a week ago, but two out-of-state commits will play their first playoff games on Friday.
After several weeks of mopping up against weak opponents, a lot of very good teams with future Longhorns on their roster will be playing much tougher competition this week.
Last week saw one of the very few games this season in which Longhorn commits were on opposing sidelines, as the program’s two Arizona commits played in their teams’ final regular season game.
