Wilson taking Wills Point roots to NFL
Submitted by Willspoint1 on
The Los Angeles Chargers saw their profile climb considerably among Wills Point area football fans last week with news that Dontre Wilson, a former DeSoto High School and Ohio State standout, had signed a contract with the organization May 1.
The son of Don Wilson and Robin Summerfield, a standout athlete in her own right, Wilson grew up in Wills Point before moving to the DeSoto area prior around fifth grade.
“I grew up here. I started here. I lived her until about fifth grade,” explained Wilson. “This is where I first played football for the Wills Point Tigers. My whole family is from here.”
Wilson had to adapt quickly, jumping from a community of less than 4000 people to the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
