The first game of the Tom Landry Classic features defending Division II state champion DeSoto visiting Allen Eagle Stadium.
It’s been an offseason of some transition for Allen as it lost Oklahoma commit QB Mike Hawkins, Jr. to a transfer to Frisco Emerson. The big questions for Allen will be on offense as the Eagles try and settle on a signal-caller; the Eagles are solid at the other spots and have good depth at running back and on the offensive line. Four-star DE Zina Umeozulu is the headliner for an Allen defense that expects to be improved.
