Troy Aikman
Troy Aikman is a man with many talents mainly football. Troy was an american football player. He was a very talented baseball player as well as football player even though Troy had offers to play in the Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Mets right out of high school, but instead of playing baseball he decided to go to college to further his education and to play football.

Aikman did not work very well with coach Switzer's wishbone offense so Coach Switzer decided to change up his offense so that Troy would stay and play for his team. After Troy broke his ankle freshman he was redshirted by coach Switzer. Once his ankle had healed it was his sophomore and since Troy was not playing the coaches decided to change back to the wishbone offense so now that the team was back in the wishbone offense Troy had to work to get his starting spot back from Jamelle Holieway. Overall Jamelle Holieway was a better fit for the wishbone offense. Aikman understood that Jamelle was a better fit for the offense so Troy asked coach Switzer if he would see an overview of a transfer to a different college and he did. Coach Switzer oversaw his transfer to UCLA where he could play under Terry Donahue which had an offense fit more a passing quarterback.”Once Troy got to UCLA he had to redshirt due to college football rules” “Troy Aikman Biography.” In Troy’s UCLA college career he lead the Bruins to a 20-4 record. During his junior year he carried the team to a 10-2 season and to the 1987 Aloha Bowl where they beat The Florida State Gators 20-16. As a senior Troy earned himself the 1988 Davey O'brien award. UCLA earned themselves the same exact record as the year before 10-2. In the 1988 season the Bruins earned themselves a 17-3 win over the Arkansas Razorbacks
