As many BYU fans know, Ty Detmer was born and reared in a football family in Texas. His father, Sonny, is a high school coaching legend in the Lone Star State. Many credit his father as a major reason for Ty’s vast football knowledge.
Ty Detmer eventually became a multisport star at Southwest High School in San Antonio, lettering three times each in football, basketball, baseball and golf, plus an additional letter in track before enrolling at BYU and becoming one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in Provo.
