#059 - Alumni Highlight: Football, Life Lessons & Finding Purpose Beyond the Game
In this episode, we reconnect with Dustin Garrison, a Pearland High School alumnus and key player in the 2010 state championship team—a season that still holds a special place in the hearts of Oiler fans. Dustin reflects on the moments that defined his life, the lessons learned on and off the field, and the coaches and mentors who helped shape him into the person he is today.
Dustin opens up about navigating life after football, finding new purpose, and applying the lessons from Pearland and beyond to his career and personal life.
For current students chasing their dreams—whether in sports, academics, or other passions—Dustin shares invaluable advice about staying focused, resilient, and grounded. Tune in for an inspiring conversation with one of Pearland’s own!
