Before you say "Well, yeah..." What we mean is: there are many players and coaches on the Houston Texans who played their high school and/or college ball in the state of Texas. Sam Houston State Head Coach K.C. Keeler, who guided the Bearkats to last year's FCS national title, will be the Homefield Advantage Team Captain along with a few of his players. The Miners won the Western Athletic Conference title in his final year, and played in the Humanitarian Bowl against Boise State.
Jon Weeks has played more games as a Texan than anyone else in franchise history, and he's set to being his 12th straight season in Houston. Blacklock played his high school ball for the Elkins Knights.
Carson Green and Ryan McCollum are rookie offensive linemen from Texas A&M. Green played his high school ball at Southlake Carroll, while McCollum was a Klein Oak Panther.
Several of the newer Houston Texans didn't play collegiately in Texas, but did so in high school, like Rex Burkhead Lane Taylor and Vincent Taylor.
