Standout Eagle Pass C.C. Winn High School Mavericks senior running back Daniel “Danny” Rios fulfilled his life-long dream of playing college football on Thursday, May 25, 2017, when he signed a national letter of intent to play for the Bethel College Thrashers in Newton, Kansas during the 2017 Collegiate Football Season.

Rios was a catalyst in the Mavericks’ historic 2016 Football Season culminating in a District 29-5A Co-Championship and deep run into the state playoffs, including a Bi-District Championship, Area Championship, and Regional Semi-Finalist.

Rios provided valuable yards to the Mavericks offense as a talented and power running back during the 2016 season, gaining over 1,200 yards.  Rios was the Mavericks workhorse running back with his power and shifty moves that made him tough to bring down by defensive opponents.

Rios was named to the 2016 District 29-5A All-District First Football Team as a Running Back by the District Head Football Coaches.

Mavericks Head Football Coach Eric Villasenor stated that “Danny Rios provided offensive firepower and leadership during our historic 2016 football season and deserves this opportunity to fulfill his dream to play college football with the Bethel College Thrashers under Coach Morris Lolar.” “I am elated that Danny Rios will be able to take his football talent and make significant contributions to Coach Lolar’s program at Bethel College,” added Villasenor.

Rios was accompanied by his parents, family, coaches, teammates, and friends at the May 25th Letter of Intent Signing Ceremony held at the C. C. Winn High School Library.

The Eagle Pass Business Journal congratulates Daniel “Danny” Rios on his signing a National Letter of Intent to play college football with the Bethel College Thrashers and wish him the best in his future endeavors.   Go Mavericks!
