UTSA's Joshua Cephus and his positive outlook that led to another chance

FRISCO – As a boy, Joshua Cephus was the soprano of his mother’s church choir. His two older brothers were altos and tenors, but his voice hadn’t dropped yet.

The Cephuses were a lower-class family who moved frequently. They shuffled from Greenspoint, Texas to Humble to Spring, where Joshua went to Dekaney High School. The praise team choir was the constant in his life. He cites his faith in God as the most important thing to him, over football.
