In a state that loves its high school football, nothing compares to the Friday Night Lights as far as producing NFL talent.

The Dallas-area was well represented once again at the 2026 NFL draft, with 12 players from local high schools hearing their names called over the course of three days. The metroplex made up more than 1/3 of the players selected from Texas (33), which had the most total draftees in the country.

Incredibly, there were no repeats, as the 12 players taken came from 12 different high schools. Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson was the only first-round selection (by the New Orleans Saints), while most of the players were taken on Day 3.

Here's a look at every player from D-FW selected in the 2026 NFL draft, and where they went to high school.
