Nick Ralston is an unfamiliar name to many fans of the Dallas Cowboys, however his story is one to remember. Born in Argyle, Texas, a small city on the outskirts of Dallas, Ralston is familiar with AT&T Stadium. A lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan, his high school team played in three state championships in Jerry’s World.
He attended Arizona State University where he would see targets out of the backfield and carry the rock on his way to over 200 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns in his four seasons there. Ralston looked to Louisiana-Lafayette as a graduate transfer where he’d see more time as a tight end. Coming out for the Covid-riddled 2020 draft, Ralston saw little opportunity so he decided to hold off until the 2021 draft to declare. This gap year allowed for the video of him pulling a truck to go viral and create some buzz around his name. Ralston went undrafted but got calls immediately, one of them being from the Cowboys.
