PNG (13-1) Tyson Henry 1695 yds rushing in 2025 25 TDs 2nd team district RB?
Need PNG rebuilt OL to step up and pave the way in 2026. Henry only needs a crease with returning HBs #41 and #42 blockers getting to the second level LBs.

pay a subscription fee to read this nonsense. In another DCTXFB article they call PAM the Vikings? Who does the staff research on these articles?

Don't forget this one. Are you ready...

9. Brennen Lacey (6'0, 190) - Frisco
Lacey ran for 537 yards and eight touchdowns while racking up 260 receiving yards and two touchdowns, earning First-Team All-District Honors in 4-5A Division I.

At the end of the day, this current DCTF staff are just writing about football for a living. And they are no Dave Campbell. Take it for what it is, not an authoritative or defining list. Just a guy's opinion and something to read until football season. It helps DCTF sell ads and subscriptions.

DC did a feature article on Liberty Hill this year. If you beat LH two years in a row in the playoffs like PNG and Brenham you get sent to the Region 2 woodshed.

Sports entertainment writers cater to certain audiences or subsets of a common audience. They are not objective sports journalists and have no absolute knowledge of who the top 10 backs or any other position will be in 2027.

Henry is not a one year wonder. In 2024 Henry rushed for 1660 yds and 14 TDs as a sophomore. In 2024 Henry had a 72 yd dash against SOC and a 67 yd dash against Montgomery LC.

The Indians have a lengthy history of very good running backs. Trahan, Nguyen and Henry being the most recent. Chatgnier was a solid complimentary back as well in recent time. Few have ever received much preseason statewide recognition. The last to receive much hype was probably running QB Roschon Johnson.

With 3,355 yards rushing through two seasons, Henry has a shot at surpassing the all-time career leader Gordon LeBoeuf. Henry would need 1,756 yards rushing in 2026 to do that. That accomplishment would be a reflection of an overall team effort. No running back achieves records without great teammates around him including an offensive line that excels and fellow skill position players that take the focus off of the RB.

Henry is one of the best I’ve seen at squeezing through a hole you never even see

And he doesn’t dance around needlessly

And similar to Emmitt Smith he gets the extra 2-3 yards at the end of the run.
