TCU running back Emari Demercado, a Downey High alum, will pay back his family's and friends' sacrifices by playing in his backyard in CFP title game.
— said he’s close to being able to pay his mom back for all she’s sacrificed for him.
“He’s blossomed. He’s out there, doing the adult thing and doing it right,” Karen said. “He’s worked at where he’s wanted to be and he’s there.” Emari decided to attend Saddleback College, a junior college, in Mission Viejo after high school, then transferred to TCU a year later. For the last five years, he’s had to fight for playing time. He kept in contact with his Downey coach, Jack Williams, a longtime mentor of his.
“‘Coach, I gotta earn a spot, I gotta earn my spot,’” Williams recalled Emari telling him while being relegated to a backup running back.
