He attended Brownwood High School, but as Brownwood did not yet have a baseball program, he played football for the Lions from 1979-82 and won the state championship as a wingback, punter and kicker with Gordon Wood as a head coach. Still, he never gave up on his dreams of becoming a professional baseball player.
