Texas City 2021 Preview
Coach: Leland Surovik. Lettermen R/L: 34/14. Starters returning O/D: 6/9. 2020: 3-6/3-4 district.
Players to watch: WR/DB Brandon Jolly (5-10, 160, 4.6), LB Bryce Hinton (5-11, 195, 4.6), LB Jamal Gray (5-10, 200, 4.6), DE Szyron Scott (6-1, 215, 4.7), QB Jacob Duran (6-1, 205, 4.8), RB Caleb Bell (5-11, 225, 4.7).

2021 notes: Texas City looks to take a step forward in 2021 as Surovik welcomes back 34 lettermen and 15 starters from a team that just missed out on the playoffs a year ago. WR/DB Jolly (313 yards, 3 TDs rushing; 15-294 yards, 3 TDs rushing; 45 tackles, 3 TFL) does a little bit of everything for the Stingarees including returning kicks. QB Duran (545 yards, 5 TDs passing) is a three-year letterman and is back to pilot the offense, so keep an eye on sophomore RB Bell (393 yards, 8 TDs rushing), who impressed in backup duty a year ago. LB Hinton (57 tackles, 5 TFL) and LB Gray (81 tackles, 1 INT) are the senior leaders of the defense, while the sky is the limit for sophomore DE Scott (40 tackles, 10 TFL, 6 sacks), who started nine games for Texas City as a freshman.
