The first time Midlothian head football coach Doug Wendel laid eyes on Bryant Wesco was when Wesco was in seventh grade. What he saw was a gangly, awkward middle schooler. But one with a lot of potential.
Since 2015, Wendel has been the head coach at Midlothian, a city in Texas of about 40,000 people that sits about 25 miles southwest of Dallas. He has seen players come and go, but Wesco stood out early.
“He was in my son's grade, so I got to watch him in football, basketball and track in seventh grade, and I knew then he was going to be a really good high school athlete,” Wendel told TigerNet.
