Episode 125: WR Benny Easter Jr; QB Kaleb Maryland, QB Lincoln Madrid

Welcome Texas high school football fans to Week 7 of the season! Host Taylor Arenz is back with another stacked episode. The season is flying by, and just like any great fourth quarter, this is when things really start to get good.

This week, Taylor sits down with three standout playmakers who are driving their teams to big-time success.

First up is four star Benny Easter Jr., one of the top wide receivers in Texas high school football. The four-star Summer Creek star is coming off a huge night in a 38–35 thriller against Atascocita, showing off his skill, composure, and connection with quarterback Noah Spinks. Benny talks about life on and off the field, the bond behind Summer Creek’s explosive offense, and what drives him as one of the most sought-after uncommitted recruits in the country.

Taylor also talks with Kaleb Maryland, North Shore’s senior quarterback and Utah State commit. Kaleb is fresh off a 71–7 win over Kingwood that opened with a 60-yard touchdown strike on the first play from scrimmage. He shares what it’s like to lead one of the most dominant offenses in the state, his senior season goals, and why Utah State felt like the right fit for him as he closes out his high school career.

Rounding out the episode is Lincoln Madrid, the senior quarterback leading the Greenwood Rangers through a perfect 6–0 start. Lincoln has been electric, tying a school record with six touchdown passes against Pecos and guiding his team with poise and leadership. He talks about his journey as a three-year starter, the tight bond within this year’s squad, and how “Ranger pride” is fueling their playoff push.

These conversations give a real look into the mindset, work ethic, and leadership of three of Texas’ brightest stars. Take a listen you will be impressed!
