As of October 18th, 2025, two former Texas high school football stars are now the top 2 FBS passers in the nation. TCU's Josh Hoover and Baylor's Sawyer Robertson, both graduates of Coronado High School, will face off this Saturday in the 121st meeting of the most-played rivalry in Texas.
Hoover, who initially committed to Indiana before joining TCU as an early enrollee, has emerged as the Horned Frogs' starting quarterback after serving as the scout team QB in 2022. He threw for a career-best 439 yards and 4 touchdowns in a win over BYU earlier this season, and has since solidified his role as the team's signal-caller.
Meanwhile, Robertson transferred to Baylor from Mississippi State and has been lighting up the scoreboard, leading the nation with 343 passing yards per game and 19 touchdowns. The two quarterbacks, who come from strong faith and athletic families, have great respect for one another as they compete for top passing honors.
This weekend's matchup promises to be an exciting duel between two of college football's rising stars, as Hoover and Robertson look to lead their teams to victory in the latest chapter of this storied Texas rivalry.
