But I don't think that has anything to do with eligibility. I think that is in general. I could be wrong.

That reads as if the player has a choice as to play both or simply chooses to play down.

If he is ruled ineligible, he has no choice other than going back to Brenham.

He could go non-UIL and play varsity

Right.

UIL and All-State Committees are separate entities and neither have anything to do with the other.  So the UIL does not or cannot make a rule about an "All-State" player playing down.  Which "All-State" team would we use for judgement on this?  The AP All-State, Dave Campbells All-State, 247 All-State, or the Wink Local Newspaper All-State team?  All-State isn't a state-level honor.  It's not given by the UIL. 

Now, ethically, this would be frowned upon and I highly doubt that any coach in this state would take a 5A All-State Running back and let him carry the ball 20 times for a 2A-D2 JV team.  But, coaches will surprise you sometimes.  That wouldn't be very fun at all.  That's like letting Derrick Henry carry the ball for Aledo.  It just removes any real competition and no real fun in that match.
