Know the Name: Garret Rangel's stock has skyrocketed, and for good reason

If you don't know Garret Rangel's name already, you're about to get real familiar with it during the 2020 season. Rangel quarterbacked Frisco Lone Star to a 14-1 record as a sophomore and helped Marvin Mims set a national receiving record.

Marvin Mims deserved every headline and positive tweet mentioned about him last season, and rightfully so given he set the national single-season receiving yards mark.

But he doesn’t record 2,629 yards and 32 touchdowns – earning Dave Campbell’s Texas Football’s distinguished Mr. Texas Football award - without the marksmanship, wherewithal and abilities of a pretty darn good quarterback.

Whether he was trusting his offensive line and staying in the pocket to deliver a deep ball or scrambling to throw on the run as he does so well, Garret Rangel was the yin to Mims’ yang.

He threw for 4,855 yards and 53 touchdowns in 2019, earning himself District 5-5A Division I Offensive Newcomer of the Year honors, while leading his team to a 14-1 record and a 5A DI state semifinals appearance.

Oh, and he did all of that as a sophomore.

While he’d gladly deflect the spotlight to his teammates, Rangel is just going to have to accept all of the attention that comes his way from here forward. After all, it’s his own fault for being this good.
