Freddie Dubose Jr. is the wide receiver at Smithson Valley High School. Everything changed for him when he tore his ACL in the 2022 season opener, but his comeback has been mighty.
PUBLISHED 10:35 AM CDT May 13, 2023As just a sophomore in high school, Freddie Dubose Jr. already established himself as one of the top football players in San Antonio. That was at Clemens High School. His family moved after that season and as a junior he was set to play at Smithson Valley High School.Tore his ACL in the 2022 season opener"At first I wasn’t really excited about the move for the simple fact I was going to have to meet new people,” Dubose said.
Dubose had torn the ACL in his left knee. It would require surgery and force him to miss the rest of the football season. Dubose couldn’t be on the field to help his team, but he could still be at the games and support them. He did just that all season and became one of the Rangers’ biggest cheerleaders.
“We all have this goal to get a ring because we saw how far we made it last year and I personally don’t want to ever feel that feeling again,” Dubose said. “The motivation is Larry, I think about Coach Hill all the time when it comes to a state championship. He has this mirror frame on his desk and it says ‘state champs,’ but it doesn’t have a year, date or photo.”
“If you were to use a traditional schedule, he’s been far ahead of it,” Zettler said. “The way he has recovered and responded to his whole rehabilitation process has just been phenomenal.”
