Welcome to my Dez Bryant tribute page! Dez grew up in East Texas and became a star at Oklahoma State before electrifying the NFL as a Dallas Cowboy. My dad and Dez are from the same hometown (Lufkin), so I literally grew up watching him — that shared connection made every sideline toe-tap and jump-ball touchdown feel personal. On this page I’ve pulled together a quick bio, key stats and honors, some favorite links, and highlight videos. Thanks for visiting and sharing a little bit of that #88 energy with me.
