Just going through my Dave Campbell's 2009 Texas Football Magazine and I notice that Texas A&M has 4 starting players from De Soto High School: 1 on offense and 3 on defense

Offense:
RB Cyrus Gray (5-10, 188 Soph)

Defense:
DT Tony Jerod-Eddie (6-5, 256 Soph)
J (Jack position) Von Miller (6-3, 214 Junior)
OLB Garrick Williams (6-2, 217 Soph)

Pages 91-96

Did you know that on page 53 that it's noted that Dallas-Fort Worth again captured the recruiting honors for the state?

Dallas-Fort Worth again led the state in Football Bowl Subdivision high school recruits in 2009 with 142, up from 141 last year. The per capita champion was the Beaumont-Port Arthur area.
