“Picking the Whataburger Super Team is not an easy task, and I’m not-so-secretly glad that Texas high school football fans were the ones who made the choices instead of the Texas Football staff,” Greg Tepper, Texas Football managing editor, said. “This is a list of the finest players in Texas high school football and picking out the best of the best is hard work. But I commend the fans — they selected a fine group of athletes that represent the best of Texas high school football all across the state.”
In total, of the 40 Whataburger Super Team honorees, 33 of them are expected to play at the next level.
“The talent among this group of athletes is exceptional,” said Jeff Altman, Director of Sponsorships at Whataburger. “At Whataburger, we celebrate Pride, Care, and Love in everything we do—and this team is a great showcase of those values.”
