“My All American” will star Aaron Eckhart as coach Darrell Royal. Thus will be a film about the story behind one of footballs greats, Freddie Steinmark, whose 1969 performance in Texas had many football fans excited but his tragic death at a young age in 1971 had many stunned. The film takes us through Freddie’s life as a young scrappy player on his High School football team in Wheat Ridge Colorado, his transition to an inspirational and driving force as a Longhorn at UT, and his eventual losing battle with a cancerous tumor in 1971 that was discovered after a bone bruise.
