Dallas-Area 5A Returning Leaders Preview 2025 Season

As the 2025 Texas high school football season approaches, The Dallas Morning News highlights the top returning players across the 5A classification in passing, rushing, and receiving yards. Key returning receivers include Miles, Robinson, and Bell, all highly ranked recruits with strong college commitments. Among rushers, Newton and Williams stand out, with Williams also ranking among the top returning passers. The top quarterbacks returning in 5A have impressive stats, with Williams noted as a top recruit and dual-threat player. Meanwhile, in the NFL, the race for the 2025 regular season passing yards leader is expected to be competitive, with stars like Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, and emerging talents like Caleb Williams and J.J. McCarthy in focus. Burrow's previous dominance was aided by a struggling defense requiring a high-octane offense, and with key receivers healthy, the Bengals may continue to push the passing yardage envelope this season.
