From high school football hero to war hero to college football hero?

Great story by Adam Himmelsbach in Sunday's Free Lance-Star on GCC student Daniel Rodriguez.


Rodriguez, a Stafford resident, is attending Germanna on the GI Bill.

A camera crew from Dan Rather Reports is set to visit the Germanna Stafford Center early this week for a story on Rodriguez, who starred in football at Brooke Point High School and planned to go to college before his father died of a heart attack just prior to graduation. he enlisted in the Army and was decorated for valor in Afghanistan. While studying at Germanna he's been working out, hoping to fulfull his dream of playing college football. Now Virginia Tech and U.Va are interested.
