He Returned To The Field Last Fall

Dwane was passionate about football. His father said he had dreams of playing in the NFL or “anywhere that would have him.”

The college junior was studying mass media at Washburn so he could cover football if his plans to play professionally didn’t pan out. 

He was sidelined for the 2016 season and most of the 2017 season due to back-to-back ACL tears but returned to the field last fall.
