Dave Campbell’s Texas Football has partnered with Ballogy to spotlight 60 head coaches across Texas with the Game-Changing Coach Award across the 2025-26 season. This honor highlights coaches who go the extra mile in developing young men on and off the field. Once all 60 finalists are recognized, we'll host a voting contest to name the Game-Changing Coach of the Year.
