A longtime Texas high school coach who guided Gilmer to three state championships, this marks the second hall of fame that Traylor joined in 2025, as he was inducted into the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame in May.

🔼 Breigan Rights. See what we did there? UTSA track and field sophomore Ida Breigan has earned Third Team Academic All-America honors. Breigan is the first to achieve the honor for UTSA since Maddie Boswell in 2022.
