Dallas Jesuit lands in loaded UIL District 6-6A for 2026-27
Dallas Jesuit was placed with Allen, McKinney and Prosper in District 6-6A, setting up a heavier Collin County schedule and a tougher playoff path.
Dallas Jesuit has been dropped into a Collin County-heavy District 6-6A, where Allen, McKinney, McKinney Boyd, Princeton, Prosper, Prosper Rock Hill and Prosper Walnut Grove now shape the Rangers’ road for 2026-27 and 2027-28. The University Interscholastic League released the district assignments on Feb. 2, 2026, as part of a wider realignment that covers football, basketball and volleyball.
For Jesuit, the move changes more than a line on a bracket sheet. The school said it will compete in District 6 of Class 6A for the next two athletic seasons, and its athletics release grouped the Rangers with Allen, McKinney, Princeton and Prosper. The official UIL alignment adds McKinney Boyd, Prosper Rock Hill and Prosper Walnut Grove, turning the district into an eight-team field after the Plano schools were moved out. That leaves Collin County schools centered together again, with Jesuit now tied directly to some of the county’s biggest Friday-night draws.
The district makeup also brings back opponents Jesuit has not faced since 2018 and 2019, according to the school’s 2026 season preview. Prosper Walnut Grove enters Class 6A for the first time in 2026-27, adding another new variable to a district already stacked with established programs. The UIL’s 2026-28 conference cutoff puts Class 6A at 2,215 students and above, keeping the district in the state’s largest classification and deepening the stakes for every district game.
Jesuit football enters the new alignment after finishing 6-6 overall and 5-2 in district play last season before losing to Denton Guyer in the area round. The Rangers have reached the playoffs 18 times in 22 seasons as a UIL program, and head coach Brandon Hickman is entering his 16th season with a 116-62 record. Jesuit’s preview pointed to junior quarterback JP Livingstone, senior running back Ty Daboub, linebacker Jackson Gair, defensive lineman Cole Johnson and defensive backs Mack Murphy and Jack Bourret as key returners for the jump into a district that will test the Rangers every week.
