Franklin, who has played in four consecutive state title games with two state championships, embarks on an absolutely brutal non-district slate that starts with a trip north into the Waco area to take on China Spring.
The Lions and their Slot-T offense will be led by their bruising backfield trio of Jayden Jackson, who has run for over 2,000 yards the past two seasons, Bubba Jackson and R.J. Fulton. While there’s no question Franklin will be able to move the ball at a prolific rate, the Lions do have a lot of questions going into the year on the defensive side of the ball.
