Certainly, when Baylor edger rusher Byron Vaughns and Duke safety Jeremiah Lewis left Eastern Hills and Prestonwood Academy as part of the 2018 recruiting classes, they didn't anticipate a six-year journey through college football before getting a chance to live out their football dreams in the NFL.
Delayed is not denied. Vaughns and Lewis found themselves at the local 'Dallas Day' workouts for 2024 NFL Draft prospects with the Dallas Cowboys last week excited about the opportunity to finish what they started.
"I grew up rooting for Tony Romo and Jason Witten," Vaughns said. "Being to work out in front of coaches. [Owner] Jerry Jones was out there. It feels good to showcase my talent and know the hometown team believes in my potential. It would feel good to play at home."
"Coming back, it was kind of surreal," Lewis said. "Just being able to be on that field again, where I kind of feel like my collegiate growth kind of began as far as scholarships and to finish off a local pro day in the last step before draft."
