DCTF Live Podcast | Dave Campbell's Texas Football

Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger is on the cover of the 60th edition of Dave Campbell's Texas Football, we talked about the choice and the photo behind it, the cover story and play an interview from the photoshoot. We also reveal the gatefold cover: Duncanville and North Shore, and talk about that decision, the cover design and the dueling columns to go with it.

The magazine is finished this week! We talk about a few important notes for viewers and listeners, preview our cover reveal on Monday, randomly divert to television and a nerdy project by The Other Guy, and then head out to send the 60th Dave Campbell's Texas Football to press!

Greg Powers of Next Level Athlete updates us on Gruver WR Jalin Conyers, McKinney North TE Brandon Frazier, North Shore DB Denver Harris, and Lone Star QB Chandler Galban. Then, we try out a new experience for live viewers of the show.

Mount Vernon caused a stir on Friday with the controversial decision to hire Art Briles as head coach. We talked about that move and Bru McCoy's potential transfer back to USC from Texas. Then, Matt Stepp was out at the Hurst 7-on-7 tournament over the weekend and caught up with the new head coaches at Rockwall Heath and Mesquite Poteet. 

We're deep in the final week of putting out this summer's DCTF magazine, so we didn't have a ton of time today. However, we let listeners know again when we'll be revealing this year's cover, the subscription deadline if you want the magazine before it hits shelves, and answered a handful of viewer questions, including how Permian looks heading into 2019. 

Greg Powers of Next Level Athlete joins us in studio to talk about Cy Ridge DB Je'Vaun Dabon, Fort Bend Marshall QB Malik Hornsby, Austin Del Valle WR Caleb Burton and Manor RB Tahj Brooks. Then, we announce the 2019 Summer Magazine cover reveal (Monday, June 3), before turning to Matt Stepp, who caught up with Riley Dodge to talk about a strong first year with the Dragons, and checked in with Rudy Rangel to chat about his Cougars.

Matt Stepp was out at the Grapevine 7-on-7 SQT over the weekend, and caught up with a couple DFW area coaches. Before we get to those interviews, we reveal a little bit of the rollout for this summer's magazine, including the cover reveal and some behind-the-scenes shows we'll do in early-to-mid June.

Who are a few surprise teams to watch in 2019? What does 4A DI look like right now? Would ESPN+ start broadcasitng more TXHSFB games? Did someone really ask for a Texas Football Today 10K race? These questions and more with Matt Stepp in-studio for the Friday mailbag. Plus, a couple coaching interviews from way out west. 

Rice head coach Mike Bloomgren is about to enter his second season at the helm of the Owls, and was kind enough to drop by and talk about what he learned in his first year, a culture of "intellectual brutality," what he would tell his former self about taking the job, the players he's excited about ahead of the 2019 campaign, and his favorite places to eat in Houston. 

Greg Powers of Next Level Athlete talks about the recruitment and the abilities of The Colony's Christian Gonzalez, Lake Ridge's Caleb Rogers, Flower Mound Marcus' Garrett Nussmeier and Fort Bend Austin's Troy Omeire. Then, Matt Stepp caught up with Hillsboro's Steve Hale and El Paso Americas' Patrick Melton.
