Episode 142 of the Texas HS Football Podcast brings together two players making a major impact for two of the state’s strongest programs.
Host Taylor Arenz first sits down with Argyle junior quarterback Hayes Hackney, who has opened the season with an impressive stretch through four games. Hackney has thrown for 1,356 yards and 17 touchdowns without an interception.
Hackney talks about his journey to Argyle and the adjustment that came with joining a new program. He also discusses his development at quarterback, building chemistry with his receivers and the teammates helping make Argyle’s offense so productive.
For a young quarterback, the numbers have been eye-catching. However, Hackney also explains the work behind that production and how quickly he has become comfortable within the Argyle program.
Hunter Haug Talks Championship Culture at Smithson Valley
Taylor also catches up with Smithson Valley senior Hunter Haug, a Texas Tech commit who contributes in just about every way possible.
Haug plays wide receiver, defensive back and special teams for a Rangers program coming off back-to-back state championships.
During the interview, Haug discusses what it takes to play on both sides of the football and how Smithson Valley’s championship culture influences everything the Rangers do.
He also talks about his teammates, the challenge of chasing another state title and his commitment to Texas Tech.
Episode 142 gives fans a look at two very different players with similar expectations. Hackney is helping lead a high-powered Argyle offense, while Haug continues to do a little bit of everything for one of the state’s most accomplished programs.
