Of all the stories Ryan Switzer could tell about Mitch Trubisky, his roommate and one of his closest friends, this one involves youthful dreams and comes with a soundtrack, an instrumental song from a TV show playing softly in the background.
“You’ve seen ‘Friday Night Lights,’ right?” Switzer asks, setting the scene.
