Led by iron-willed head coach Jahmal Fenner, the 2021 LBJ Early College High School football team finished its historic season at 15-1 and competed in the UIL Football 4A State Championship game. In reaching AT&T Stadium in December, the Jaguars became the first Austin ISD school since the 1973 Reagan (now Northeast) High School team to compete for a state title in football. Fenner remarkably coached the team to a third-round playoff win just days after his 21-year-old son, Cameron Nelson, was tragically shot to death. The Jaguars will return to 5A competition next season.
