- I want to introduce you to this new sport.
- Freshman year, wow. Let's see what's in store for me.
- Learning this new sport is hard.
- You're never gonna play, practicing like that.
- This is how I was introduced to football. My friend Randy invited me to play a game with him and I was nervous because it was something new.
- I know that the only way I can get better is if I put in the work.
- After being introduced to the sport, I began my football career in high school.
- I know it's supposed to be student athlete, but I feel like an athlete student sometimes.
- Due to it being my first year, I had a lot of learning to do but my coaches expected a lot out of me.
- Wow!!! Thanks Coach

- With such high expectations, I knew I had to take matters into my own hands and better myself in anyway I could.
- I had a hard time balancing school and football because I had so much to accomplish in the classroom and on the field.
- At the end of Freshman year, all of my hard work paid off as I received the Iron Man award.
- Starting my sophomore year, I became even more dedicated to becoming stronger to be the person my team could rely on.
- I was able to accomplish one of my goals that I had set from the beginning of the year, and it was a feeling like no other. To play under the Friday Night Lights.

- Even with a varsity position, it wasn't what I had planned. This was a position I had never played before.
- Hector, you're moving back to offensive tackle.
- I encountered many obstacles, one being an injury during sophomore year, making me rely on knee braces for the rest of my career.
- I always had doubts if this was for me, but one person that always kept me motivated was my mom.
- We were so close.

- The bus rides were always where I isolated myself and turned my focus onto the game.
- I have a lot to think about, to make my decision.
- I think it might be best to not play in college and hang up my cleats. I don't think my body can take another four years of playing.
- Unfortunately, our playoff run was cut short with a close game loss to end our season.
- A month after season I was invited to play in an All Star game, to lace up one last time.
- That's it for me.
