Description
Osawese Agbonkonkon played several sports as a young child growing up in the Frisco area.
One of which was not track and field.
In fact, he didn't participate in any track and field event until his junior year at Frisco Wakeland. However, it didn't take long to see the raw talent he possessed and the potential for a collegiate career in the sport.
In the span of a year, Agbonkonkon had received offers to compete as a high jumper at some of the best Track & Field programs in the nation. He initially decided to attend Oregon, before transferring to the University of Texas at Austin.
"How would you describe the student-athlete experience at UT?" WFAA's Michelle Montaine asked the sophomore high jumper.
"It is second to none, from the athletics to the academics, everything at Texas is over the top," Agbonkonkon remarked.
That phrase could also be used to describe the young man's innate abilities and determination. And that's what's led to his widespread success at just 20 years old.
