Kyler Murray is the greatest player in the history of Texas High School Football

[Zordon]

A big storyline this week will be the return of the Allen High School product to his hometown and the stadium where he won three state titles. He is easily the greatest TX high school football players I've seen with my own eyes.

Consider the following:

• In three seasons, he accounted for 14,525 yards (10,386 passing, 4,139 rushing), 186 touchdowns (117 passing, 69 rushing), while completing 63 percent of his passes.

• He's the only two-time MaxPreps National Player of the Year, leading Allen (Texas), one of the largest schools in the Lone Star state, to back-to-back MaxPreps National Titles in 2013 and 2014.

• As a starter, he was 43-0 and the Eagles won three straight state titles, the last at the highest 6A-1 level.

• Also a baseball star, he was named the MaxPreps 2014-15 overall National Athlete of the Year and was selected the 2014 National Gatorade Football Player of the Year.

And?
Don't see the meaning of this. So he won a lot in high school.

My brother was on the high school basketball team. And they won just about every game. But never could get past the regionals.
For 4 years they were knocked out in the finals, or before the final of the regionals.

Since there are so many Texans in the NFL it’s not a huge anomaly but I suspect he’ll show out like so many do when they play Dallas lol

For a small guy, he's got a big head....looks like a video game character out there.
Yes, he is multi-talented and not in a small way.....

... ..HS, meh.

We have no home field advantage or defense. Last week I said 50/50. This week I give the Cowboys a 40% chance of winning.

We need to run the ball until Zeke and Pollard need oxygen.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

I would've done anything to go to one of these high schools in Texas that were winning state titles in grand fashion.

When I was in high school, we won 3 games in two seasons, and two of those were forfeited. I don't know what school spirit is.

He no doubt is one of the greats. There’s others Id put up there as well. They didn’t have as much team success over their entire career but were nevertheless some of the greatest I saw. Like Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson for starters. Those always have to be in the conversation. I’ve always considered Earl the greatest but it’s a subjective argument.

Yeah but your brother went undrafted.

Some of the greatest QB performances in at&t stadium's history are from the opponent's QB this week. I think it's a nice storyline.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

This should probably be in the Sports Forum.

 

[Hagman]

But was he the greatest high school player ever? I think not.

 

[Aftershock]

He lost one game in 2012 as a starter his Sophomore year against my hometown team Coppell

Campbell and Dickerson are on my Mount Rushmore. Both could have probably gone straight to the pros. I give Kyler the edge because of the championships on the biggest level.

Ok

I forgot about that game. What happened to Coppell? You guys fell off.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Umm OP your not giving Grand-baby Jones his due man...he is texas football legend....just ask our GM he knows Talent.

 

[JBS]

I bet this Cowboys team would beat Kylers high school team

 

[Clove]

I got to see him play also, he was electric and quiet.
