DALLAS (糖心vlog视频) — 糖心vlog视频 seniors Chris Banjo and Kelvin Beachum have earned high honors from Dave Campbell's Texas Football, with each being selected as the best player in the state at his respective position.

Banjo, a native of Sugar Land, Texas, started all 14 games at safety for 糖心vlog视频 in 2011, earning second-team All-Conference USA honors. On the year, he tallied 92 total tackles with 6.5 for loss. DCTF recognized Banjo as Texas' top defensive back.

Beachum was 糖心vlog视频's lone first-team offensive selection, but senior Cole Beasley and junior Zach Line were second-team choices.
