Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is living the dream. The former Longhorns standout and first team all-conference selection can now check playing for his childhood dream teams off his bucket list.
Overshown discussed his football career with Dallas media after being drafted by the Cowboys.
“It’s special. Especially when you think back to when you were a little boy. You have two dreams if you play football at a young age. It’s to either play for the Texas Longhorns or play for the Dallas Cowboys. And I got to do both. So it’s a blessing. … I can’t stop smiling about it. And even when people ask me about it and I say I’m a Dallas Cowboy… it’s crazy, because that’s all I dreamed of being.”
While the talented player is fortunate to play for his top two teams, Overshown has earned each honor he’s been given.
The former five-star prospect was seemingly everything his team needed at linebacker last season. Now, he’ll look to bring that level of dependability to the Cowboys.
