Cowboys Legend Jason Witten Coaches Texas HSFB team to Division II State Title

Legendary Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten coached Liberty Christian School in Argyle, Texas, to a state championship in football on Friday night.

With a 52-10 win over Austin Regents, Liberty Christian celebrated its first Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools Division II state championship in 16 years:

According to NFL.com's Grant Gordon, Witten got to enjoy the accomplishment with family as his sons, CJ and Cooper Witten, were among the Warriors' defensive stars en route to a perfect 14-0 season.

With the 41-year-old Witten calling the shots, Liberty Christian dominated its opponents this season, outscoring them by a 716-96 margin, per Gordon.

Witten has been the head coach at Liberty Christian since 2021, and after going just 2-8 in his first season, the Warriors went 10-2 last season and 14-0 in 2023.

The 11-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro spent 17 seasons in the NFL, playing 16 of them with the Cowboys and one with the Las Vegas Raiders.

He is one of the most productive tight ends in NFL history, registering 1,228 catches for 13,046 yards and 74 touchdowns, and he ranks fourth on the NFL's all-time receptions list.

The 2003 third-round draft pick out of Tennessee never won a Super Bowl with the Cowboys, but he is undoubtedly among the greatest players in team history.

Witten is the Cowboys' all-time leader in receptions (1,215) and receiving yardage (12,977) and his 72 touchdown catches are second only to Dez Bryant's 73.

Given his big-time production and consistency for one of the most famous franchises in sports, it is likely that Witten will one day be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Also, if Witten continues to thrive as the head coach at Liberty Christian, there is a good chance head coaching opportunities in the college ranks and potentially even the NFL will become available to him in the future.
