Texas HS Football Podcast: Episode 120

Episode 120 of The Texas HS Football Podcast features three players who made headlines in Week One. Host Taylor Arenz kicks things off with Pieper Warriors quarterback Isaiah Gaitan. After a record-setting career at Cornerstone Christian, Gaitan made his Pieper debut count, scoring three touchdowns in a 35–28 win over Boerne. He shared how he’s built chemistry with new teammates and his outlook for senior year.

Next, Taylor sat down with Prosper senior offensive lineman Zaden Krempin. One of the state’s top recruits, Krempin committed to Texas A&M this summer after fielding 53 offers. He discussed the recruiting journey, his decision to choose the Aggies, and Prosper’s statement win over Westlake.

The episode wraps with La Porte running back Ashton Ruffin, who rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns in the Bulldogs’ opening-night win inside their brand-new $56 million stadium. From the “Border Battle” atmosphere to his game-clinching 36-yard score, Ruffin described what the night meant to him, his team, and the La Porte community.
