Ryan Fodje didn't know a lick about football until he reached high school. "I started playing football my freshman year," Fodje told Dave Campbell's Texas Football. "I didn't even know what football was at the time. I just wanted to join because I wanted to find something do in life because I always stayed home doing nothing. But once I started playing, it became a part of me." It certainly did. He spent hours upon hours learning the game and by the time his junior season started, he was on the national map as one of the best players in the Lone Star State. "I had a dream, but it was just crazy," he said. "It all happened so fast." Bridgeland coach Lonnie Mason said it happened because of his work ethic and some natural gifts. "They don't build too many players like him," Mason said. "He's blessed with athleticism that so few players have."
