Hello valued readers!
Today we would like to send our best wishes to Dallas native Demarcus Ayers as he prepares for today's 2016 NFL draft. Today many young men will see their drams come true. These young men have put in years of focus and dedication and will now finally rewarded. Demarcus Ayers attended Lancaster High School in Lancaster, Texas where his talents earned him college attention. Ayers committed to the University of Houston Cougar football program where he dazzled audiences, opponents and defensive coordinators with his speed and ability to make plays. Ayers was seen from all angles in the Houston Cougar offensive attack during his three years on campus. In the ACC, Demarcus excelled as a slot receiver, special teams kick returner, and even had a moment as quarterback, in the Cougar's win over the Florida State University Seminoles in the Peach Bowl, when he threw for a touchdown. Ayers is now ready to make the leap of faith to the next level.
