A multi-sport athlete during his time at Cy-Fair, Owens is verbally committed to the University of Texas to play football.
“This was one of my bucket list things coming into high school,” Owens said. “To see all those guys with big names winning when I was younger and even as a freshman, I thought it would be pretty cool if I won it. To my family, coaches, teammates and friends who have been with me through this whole process, it’s awesome to see it wrap up this way.”
Bridgeland High School Head Coach Lonnie Madison and Cy-Fair Head coach Jeff Miller were honored among 10 finalists for the Coach of the Year award.
