From Texas Wesleyan to the Texas Longhorns and back, Daniel Trejo’s next stop might be the NFL
Daniel Trejo didn’t play football until his senior season of high school. His journey to play collegiate football led him to Texas Wesleyan and, eventually, the Texas Longhorns. Trejo is back with the Rams this year. His next stop might be the NFL.
Daniel Trejo and a friend walked into the athletic director’s office at River Oaks Castleberry High School during the summer of 2016, intending to play a sport during their senior season. Trejo thought he'd play soccer, considering that was the sport he played growing up. However, the coach had other plans.
“We met with the athletic director, and after the meeting, he said, ‘Welcome to the football team,’” Trejo said. “I didn’t want to play football, so I had a choice to make whether to show up for practice or not.”
