Dino 's Bio

I am an avid Texas Longhorn sports fan. I've been following the Longhorns athletics program for some time now and I've enjoyed every minute. I'm currently Community Leader as well as a Featured Columnist for Texas Longhorns Football here on Bleacher Report. When I graduate high school I hope to attend a good university and pursue a career in sports journalism.
