Two big things are coming to Texas high school football in 2025.

The University Interscholastic League has approved the use of wearable technology for the purpose of play-calling.

According to the UIL, coach-to-player communication will be allowed through one-way wearable technologies for games beginning in 2025.

Unlike the National Collegiate Athletic Association-approved helmet communication technology, the UIL will allow wristband-like technology to communicate play calls from coaches to athletes.

Teams will be allowed to use watches, wristbands, and belt packs to communicate in-game calls only.

There will be no limit on the number of athletes who can wear a device during the game.

The UIL continues to ban technology such as tablets and electronic devices on the sidelines.

Play calling goes from the coaches booth or the pressbox, where technology is permitted.

“I would like to see the UIL allow us to do like they allow colleges to do. To have a direct connection to the helmet, like they have in the professional football,” said Uvalde High School head coach Wade Miller.

“The way things are now, I would have to send a play to a coach in the pressbox and then have them relay the information to our quarterback wearing a wrist device,” said Miller. “I think it is quicker to either signal in a play by hand signals, to have someone take in a play, or just to have the quarterback come to the sideline to get the play.”

Since 2024, the NCAA has allowed in-helmet communication technology.

“I think the UIL will eventually go to what college football uses now. It may be a few years,” said Miller.

The other major rule change for UIL football for 2025 will be to allow the use of guardian caps on helmets as long as the caps are the primary shell color of the helmet.

A guardian cap is a padded, soft-shell helmet cover designed to reduce impact during collisions in football.

“Using guardian caps is a good way to further reduce concussions,” said Coach Miller. “It’s a good new addition.”

The UIL has some other rules changes set for the coming season, but the guardian cap and the wristband technology devices are the two biggest changes.

Texas is the lone state in the union that uses the NCAA rule book. But there are exceptions to NCAA rules noted in the UIL rules.

All other states in the United States use high school football rules set forth by the National Federation of High Schools.

Taiwan has placed Chinese tech giants Huawei Technologies and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) on a trade blacklist, stepping up restrictions on the firms amid intensifying technological competition between China and the United States.

The island’s Ministry of Economic Affairs updated its Strategic High-Tech Commodities Entity List over the weekend to include Huawei, SMIC and several of their subsidiaries. The move effectively bars the companies from acquiring critical semiconductor technologies from Taiwanese suppliers.

The decision deals another setback to Beijing’s efforts to expand its domestic chipmaking capabilities and compete with US firms such as Nvidia. Huawei and SMIC have already been sanctioned by the United States.

Ray Wang, a Washington-based semiconductor and tech analyst, said the restrictions would close existing loopholes and limit collaboration between blacklisted Chinese firms and Taiwan’s tech industry. “The new rule from Taipei is more of an effort to further tighten the screws on control measures led by Washington,”
South China Morning Post quoted Wang as saying.

Beijing claims Taiwan as its territory and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve unification. The US remains opposed to any forced reunification and continues to provide military support to the island.

Huawei and SMIC have emerged as central players in China’s drive for self-reliance in chipmaking. The companies introduced a 7-nanometer chip in 2023 that powered Huawei’s high-end Mate 60 smartphone, prompting US officials to review the effectiveness of existing sanctions.

The United States has imposed export bans on various Chinese technology firms and scrutinised the role of Taiwan-based companies in aiding China’s semiconductor development. In 2023, the US Commerce Department ordered Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) to restrict advanced processing services for mainland clients, Reuters reported.

TSMC, the world’s largest contract chipmaker, has since tightened shipments to China. That followed a TechInsights investigation revealing a TSMC-manufactured AI chip in a Huawei training card. The company may face a US$1 billion fine in connection with a US probe into that chip, according to Reuters.

Despite the new measures, Wang said the impact on Huawei and SMIC would likely be limited. “These companies were already facing significant constraints under previous curbs and had struggled with scaling up production,” he said.

Garmin seems as though it’s in the midst of a major course correction, and 2025 is a pivotal year. As someone who’s been reviewing fitness technology, including the best Garmin watches, for many years, there’s certainly been an increase in dramatic shifts in direction for the company in the past few months.

That’s not to say ‘change’ means ‘bad’: the recently announced Garmin Venu X1 looks like a great watch, but it’s a pivot from the way Garmin has been designing watches up until this point.
