“What if the experts were wrong about you?”
In this episode of Kent Hance: The Best Storyteller in Texas, Kent dives into the world of college football, where talent, grit, and a little bit of luck can turn underdogs into legends. With his signature wit and wisdom, Kent unpacks the seismic shifts brought on by NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals and the transfer portal, and how they’re rewriting the rules of the game.
From the overlooked quarterback who went from zero offers to beating Alabama, to the Hall of Fame journey of Drew Brees—who was once told he’d never make it—Kent shares stories that challenge the status quo and celebrate the power of perseverance. You’ll hear about Wes Welker’s rise from being “too short and too slow” to becoming a Pro Bowl legend, and the unlikely journey of John McTier from Little Elm, Texas, to the national stage.
Along the way, Kent sprinkles in classic Texas humor, unforgettable characters like “Buck”, and a few laugh-out-loud tales from his college days. He even shares a hilarious story about a billionaire whose football accolades grew taller with every introduction—proving that in Texas, legends aren’t just born, they’re made.
