Texas Fridays

It's always been Stevie McCrae's goal to play running back at University of Texas-Austin. Stevie was born and raised in Austin, and if it were up to him, he wouldn't leave his hometown until the NFL came calling. But because of his size, Stevie never gets recognition from recruiters. Despite stellar numbers and state rushing records, his only scholarship offers have come from out-of-state Division Two schools. But if Stevie can lead his team to a state title, his dream of attending the University of Texas might be within reach.

When James Baker earns a starting spot on the Churchill High football team, he knows he has a lot to live up to. So when he gets a head injury during an early scrimmage, he keeps his concussion hidden from everyone.

Armando Salguera is a tight end at El Dorado High School in El Paso, Texas, aiming to make his NFL dreams come true. Things are going well his junior year, until a position change and news from his estranged father threaten to destroy everything.

All-state defensive end, Darren Taylor, has overcome the odds in this gang-riddled neighborhood in Houston, securing a variety of scholarship opportunities. But when a season-ending shoulder injury leaves him on the sidelines, Darren finds himself dependant on pain pills and making decisions that could end his football career, and maybe his life, forever.
