Earle also saw time on defense. He made the game-winning deflection vs. Ennis in the state quarterfinals.
He’s ranked as the No. 13 WR in the nation for 2021 and the 10th best player in the state, per 247Sports. He also ranked 72nd overall, nationally.
Earle had 1,100 yards receiving and 11 TDs during his sophomore season.
According to Tony Eierdam of The Community News, Earle will become Aledo’s starting quarterback for the 2020 season, replacing Jake Bishop who is set to graduate. He ran part the Wildcat formation during the 2019 season.
