My All-American

What Freddie Steinmark (Finn Wittrock) wants most in the world is to play football. Though small, he's got enough fight in him to catch the eye of none other than legendary University of Texas coach Darrell Royal (Aaron Eckhart), and soon enough, he's off to Austin with his loving high-school sweetheart Linda (Sarah Bolger, also appearing this year in Emelie) with a scholarship to play for the Longhorns. His grueling practice schedule pays off all season—but just as the team is reveling in a triumph, Freddie suffers an injury that leads to a shocking diagnosis and the biggest challenge he will ever face.
