Denver Football Club's Latest Updates
Nestled in the vast Colorado wilderness, the Ekeler family's humble abode was a rough, dusty trek from a town too tiny to harbor dreams as grand as the NFL. Austin and Wyett Ekeler, seven years apart but sharing the same simple routine, grew up in Eaton's wide-open spaces. They'd play catch anywhere, indoors or out, fish for feisty bass, ride horses, and watch bronco riders test their nerve. They'd wrestle, usually with Austin emerging victorious.
While the prairie was their playground, football was their passion. Austin's dedication, honed in the Colorado sun, led him to attend Eaton High School, nurturing his dreams of gridiron glory. His brother, Wyett, following a similar path, immersed himself in sports at Wyoming University, a testament to the region's rich athletic culture.
