Texas A&M's Taurean York became a freshman sensation at Temple High School long before becoming an Aggie

Taurean York was at a college mega camp between his freshman and sophomore year when an assistant coach made an off-hand comment that changed the young linebacker’s routine for the rest of his high school career.

York was wearing No. 538 at the camp when that coach suggested the Temple star move to defensive end from linebacker because of a soft core. From that point on, York completed 538 sit ups every morning before breakfast to build abs and erase doubters. And that wasn’t the end of his morning routine.
