SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) -An inspiring man from Sherman who had a life-changing injury in 1995, is now back where it all started to speak to students about perseverance. 'Turning tragedy into triumph,' said Sherman Alum and Motivational Speaker, Trenell Walker. Walker was immediately paralyzed neck down after an accidental tackle from his teammate mid-game. 'Going from a 14-year-old, star athlete, living out my dreams, playing varsity football as a freshman.' Walker said he was embarrassed to go in public again, let alone graduate high school, 'learning that as long as you have faith, family, and the power to persevere, all things are possible.
