Top 10 Largest High Schools in Texas

1. Allen Eagles (6,947)

The largest high school in Texas returned to the regional finals for the first time since 2018 behind District 6-6A MVP Brady Bricker's 2,569 total yards and 32 total touchdowns and a salty defense headlined by defensive tackle Chandler Bryant, the linebacker tandem of Ja'Prei Wafer and Don Quist, and a rangy secondary which surrendered just 13 points per game.

2. Plano East Panthers (5,346)

Plano East rushed to a 6-1 record behind stud senior running back Travis Agee (1,297 yards, 7 touchdowns) but saw itself on the outside of the playoff bracket looking in after dropping its final three games in a loaded District 6-6A.

3. Plano West Wolves (5,337)

The Wolves have made the playoffs just once in the last decade. Could that change in 2025?

4. Conroe Tigers (5,282)

It's rare a school this big can fly under the radar, but it's time to start talking about the Tigers more. Conroe head coach Cedric Hardeman ended an eight-year playoff drought in 2021 and earned the program's first playoff win since 1999 in a breakout 9-3 season. The defense returns District 13-6A Defensive Newcomer of the Year Alex Coey and First Team defensive back Xavier Harmon.

5. Odessa Permian Panthers (4,905)

Odessa Permian, the hallmark of Texas high school football after its Friday Night Lights immortalization, has not advanced past the area round of the playoffs since 2014. The Panthers have run into a North Crowley buzzsaw the past two seasons.

6. Duncanville Panthers (4,710)

It's up to Reginald Samples to reload after losing one of the country's most electrifying quarterback/wide receiver duos. Alabama signee Keelon Russell was the Gatorade National Player of the Year, while new Oregon Duck Dakorien Moore finished his high school career with over 4,000 receiving yards and 48 touchdowns.

7. Galena Park North Shore Mustangs (4,535)

North Shore and Duncanville missed out on a fourth-consecutive matchup in the Class 6A Division I state championship game when they each fell in the semifinals. The Mustangs bid adieu to four-year starter Kaleb Bailey, who holds one of the best resumes in Texas high school football history.

8. The Woodlands Highlanders (4,523)

The Woodlands finished with its most wins since the 2016 state finalist team and has enough returning pieces for similar success in 2025. TCU quarterback commit Jack Daulton is back after rushing and passing for over 1,000 yards each, and the defense will lean on first-team all-district performers on all three levels (Jy'Ree Jefferson - DL, Cole Carlin - LB, Caycen Bartolazzi - DB).

9. Plano Wildcats (4,493)

Plano might've just missed out on the playoffs, but it did beat both crosstown rivals (35-14 over Plano West, 34-24 over Plano East).

10. Coppell Cowboys (4,364)

Coppell has turned into a DFW power under head coach Antonio Wiley, who has compiled a 33-4 record in three seasons at the helm. He'll face a test this season replacing back-to-back District MVP Edward Griffin (Baylor) and Defensive MVP Weston Polk (Kansas State).
