Austin High School Football Looks Ahead to the 2025 Season

The 2024 Texas high school football season has wrapped up, but already, fans and players are looking ahead to 2025. In Austin, expectations are high as the off-season brews, and some teams are starting to identify their strengths and potential areas for improvement.

Leading the way are the Westlake Chaparrals, who finished with a strong record of 14-2 this past season. Their key players, including quarterback Rees Wise and two strong offensive linemen, Will Hesse and William Twardowski, are set to return. This team has shown it can maintain top performance despite graduations and is expected to stay on top as long as head coach Tony Salazar remains at the helm.

Also in the mix are the Lake Travis Cavaliers, who finished 12-2 and have a solid lineup returning, including running back Vann Hopping. Like Westlake, Lake Travis has a reputation for reloading their roster with skilled players ready for action.

Moving to the Vandegrift Vipers, who were the Class 6A Division II state champions with a record of 15-1. They are returning key talents, especially at quarterback with Miles Teodecki who is expected to shine once again, backed by formidable offensive support.

Then there are teams like the Cedar Park Timberwolves, looking to rebound from their playoff exit last season. With a strong junior class led by quarterback David Cooper, they have the potential to create a stir in the district.

Additionally, the Weiss Wolves have promising prospects with returning players like Jaxon Schad, who will look to lead the team after a strong season last year. The offensive talent returning could mean good things for this squad.

Lastly, the Bastrop Bears and the LBJ Jaguars are looking to climb the ranks with their respective returning cores, ensuring that fans will have plenty to cheer for in the upcoming season.

As preparation begins, all eyes will be on how these teams adapt and perform as summer approaches. With key players returning and new talents emerging, the 2025 season promises to be thrilling for the Austin area football community.
