When Darrion Trammell started walking at the precocious age of 7 months old, his dad knew he was different.
But when Darrion started dribbling a basketball simultaneously, less than a month later, his dad knew his son may have a special talent. On Saturday, Darrion, who grew up in Marin City, will lead San Diego State as they take on Florida Atlantic in the school's first-ever Final Four appearance. Trammell, a 5 '10 point guard, had anything but a linear route to San Diego. So, he started climbing the ladder. His first stop was at City College of San Francisco.
Last Saturday, when San Diego State battled Creighton for a spot in the Final Four, it was evident Jaquez was on Darrion’s mind. He put up a floater just inside the paint, in the final seconds. Darrion banked one of two free throws to seal the deal for San Diego State. Then, as the buzzer blared throughout a packed Yum! KFC Center in Louisville, Kentucky, it all hit Darrion. "It’s just a game. I'm doing this for my family, I'm doing this for the people back home, my grandpa, my brother who I lost," he said. "It’s my journey like what I've been through, it’s just a blessing to be able to be here.""He had an acronym, EDWMTM: every dream is worth more than money," Damien said.
