Trinity Christian is led by 4-star college football prospect Shedeur Sanders, son of Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, who has served as the school’s offensive coordinator for the last three seasons. The younger Sanders threw for 3,477 yards and 47 touchdowns with four interceptions last season in leading the Tigers to a 13-1 record and the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) Division II state title. However, after the championship, Trinity Christian was officially removed from TAPPS.
