Football's Back: VYPE Austin UIL 5A DI Team/District Breakdowns
Georgetown finished its 2019 season at the UIL 5A Division I Region III area round and has higher aspirations in 2020 because of the returns of Baylor offensive lineman commit Connor Heffernan, New Mexico wide receiver commit Jacob Trussell, quarterback Darson Herman, wide receiver Kade Locklin, defensive back Saul Delarosa, running back Ryan Eady, wide receiver Brandon Bradford,linebacker Dre Langhorne,defensive back/wide receiver Aaron Bizzell and defensive backTrent McConnell.
Don't forget about Manor, who still has Baylor safety commit Devin Lemear andLouisiana-Monroewide receiver commit Carl Chester. And Pflugerville Weiss has playoff experienced players in quarterback recruit Tavian Cord, running back Devin Cross, wide receivers Jeremiah Robinson and CJ Meeks, offensive lineman Diego Cruz and defensive back Zane Tipton.
Pflugerville Hendrickson features a team that includesTulane wide receiver commit Jaden Williams,linebacker Daniel Keith and running back Jasiya Demps and drops down from UIL 6A like Kelby Hickerson and Colin Page-led Austin Anderson and a Leander program that includes defensive backs Andre Burt and Ray Egelsee and offensive lineman Noah Holifield.

UIL 12-5A Division I
Dripping Springs and San Antonio area program Seguin are the district's only returning members, so they will face new district opponents in Buda Johnson, Harlandale, Kyle Lehman, New Braunfels Canyon, San Antonio McCollum and San Antonio Veterans Memorial the next two seasons. The Tigers are still expected to be one of the Austin area'smost productive UIL 5A programs, so they enter the 2020 season as the district favorite. That's because they have notable returning players in Preston Alford,Cameron O'Banan, Jack Masters, Logan Neef, Valentino Bacelis andGarrett Betts. Kyle Lehman's drop from UIL 25-6A to UIL 12-5A Division I will improve its playoff chances, along with the return of linebacker Robert Vasquez.The Lobos' new Hays CISD rivalBuda Johnsonmay be playing its first varsity football season this fall, but it also serves the same talented Hays County community and can sneak up on teams as early as this year.
