It's not unusual to see the Westfield High School senior defensive leaders all together; they've been doing it since they were kids.
"Since we were young, like half of the team, we all played together in Little League; we went to the same elementary school," senior Jordin Jones said.
"Me and a lot of these guys have been playing since we were 5 years old," senior Davon Smith said.
"When I first started playing football, I'd say like fourth or fifth grade, these are the guys I started with," senior Jaylen Oliver said. "Our chemistry is so tight it's like a brotherhood on this team."
The Mustangs have one of the best defenses in the Houston area.
"We cause a lot of havoc when it comes to that time," senior Antonio Underwood said. "We're good guys off the field, but when we come on the field we cause a lot of havoc."
That havoc comes from everybody and everywhere.
"We're chasing the ball, 11 hats every play," senior Logan Draper said. "Chasing the ball, we have to get the ball every play."
Senior defensive back Kaden Jacobs added, "Front 7 putting pressure on the quarterback, making it hard for the quarterback to throw the ball."
They have forced a turnover in every game so far this season and had six of their 15 total turnovers last week against district rival Aldine Davis.
"I'd say we are a real goofy defense, but when it comes down to holding each other accountable, we take it real serious," senior Jaylen Oliver said.
The Mustangs have allowed only four touchdowns this season without giving up a score to the opponent running the ball.
"When I first came here, it was like you had to do your best at practice or your spot could be gone," senior Jaylin Jones said.
His twin brother Jordin added, "Westfield is a breeding ground for grimy players. Every day you have to come in and work; that is instilled in us since day one."
They're not just great players. They are great students.
"We can trust you are going to do all the things necessary to be successful in the classroom; you'll probably do the same things in the weight room, on the field, out in the community," head coach Dez Black said.
These players know Westfield's rich football history and will have their place in the Hall of Honor.
"It really makes me proud that I'm a part of something great, part of something bigger than me," Draper said.
The Mustangs have three district games, then move on to the playoffs in their final season together.
"I'm going to go out with a bang; I want to leave it all out on the field," Jacobs said.
