Episode 124 of the Texas High School football podcast with Host Taylor Arenz!  Can you believe it is already week 6 of Texas high school football! There are 11 weeks of regular season so we are getting closer to the end than that start and that seems so crazy how fast it the season is flying by!   But still a lot of games to play and if the first half of the season taught us anything this football season is full of surprises! 

One team thought that has not surprised anyone this season is Southlake Carroll have making it all the way to the state finals last season and coming up short the Dragons are back with revenge this season putting up crazy numbers on offense and on keeping their opponent out of the end zone on defense they are a team on a mission and this week Taylor talked to one of their guys in the trenches that are helping their offense wrack up those points!  offensive lineman Tristan Dare, a Michigan commit, who made his college decision early as a junior. Tristan shares why he wanted to get his recruitment wrapped up, how it’s allowed him to lock in on football this season, and what it means to be part of such a historic program. Taylor and Tristan also talked about growing up in Southlake where kids dream of being Dragons, what it’s like playing for Coach Riley Dodge, and how last year’s state title loss has fueled this team to play with a chip on their shoulder. 

Then continuing with the Michigan commit theme, Taylor talks with 4-Star Mansfield High School Wide Receiver Zion Robinson. Zion filled Taylor in on his journey through the recruiting process, why Ann Arbor felt like home, and what it means to have the chance to play alongside some of the nation’s top talent.  He also talks about his emotions of his senior season, his goals on the field, and the best memories he’s made so far you will enjoy getting to know Zion!
