Dekaney legend Trey Williams and VYPE's Matt Malatesta
Before the explosion of Houston high school football coverage, before social media turned recruits into celebrities, there was Trey Williams — one of the first bona fide stars of the VYPE Media era, which dates back two decades.
The electrifying running back from Spring Dekaney was pure fast-twitch energy — smooth, confident, and surgical in his preparation. Williams didn’t just play the game; he transformed a brand-new school into a state powerhouse.
In 2012, he led the Dekaney Wildcats to a Class 5A State Championship, putting the program on the map and his name in Texas high school football history. Along the way, he amassed over 8,000 rushing yards in one of the state’s toughest districts and finished his prep career as the No. 4-ranked running back in the nation. He was, simply put, that dude.
Williams became a fixture at VYPE — gracing the cover of VYPE Magazine three times, an honor reserved for the elite of the elite.
Now, in a rare sit-down, Williams joins VYPE co-founder Matt Malatesta to reminisce about his legendary career — from his days at Dekaney to his choice to play at Texas A&M, and everything that’s followed since.
This is a can’t-miss conversation with one of Houston’s true Mt. Rushmore athletes of the past 20 years.
The stars of 2025-26 Friendswood Volleyball
The final week of the regular season has arrived, and with it, the closing stretch of an eventful fall across Houston volleyball.
While the vast majority of districts have more or less been decided, there are still a handful of situations where the final standings — and subsequent playoff divisional placement — could potentially be shifted around with a couple matches remaining in the regular season.
For instance, in District 16-6A, Bridgeland (10-2) closes out its schedule with Cypress Ranch (12-0) and Cypress Woods (10-2) — with the latter being the more significant, as Cy Woods holds the tiebreaker after defeating the Bears in five sets last month.
Fulshear (7-1 in 20-6A) currently has that same edge over Foster (7-1), while Memorial (12-0 in 17-6A) is one up on Stratford (11-1) — each pair set to meet in the next few days. It’s the final bit of drama before fan bases turn their attention to the postseason.
At the top of Class 6A, Dawson (34-4), Grand Oaks (31-8), and Tompkins (32-5) continue to set the tone, each closing dominant district runs with legitimate State aspirations.
Tomball and Clear Springs remain firmly in the mix, while College Park and Ridge Point have found their stride late — both capable of shaking up the bracket once the playoff lights come on.
In Class 5A, Friendswood (31-8) has reasserted itself as the clear-cut favorite, though Barbers Hill (36-5) and Montgomery (34-9) have earned their share of praise. West Fork (37-5) has emerged as a sneaky-good contender, while Lake Creek (18-21) has begun piecing things together down the stretch.
It’s always a battle when it comes to the LSA–FBCA rivalry, and Lutheran South Academy (26-6) has proven capable of winning the scrappy contests, making the Pioneers the private school headliner entering the TAPPS-5A playoffs. Concordia Lutheran continues to flex in TAPPS-6A, while St. John’s School, Episcopal, and John Cooper remain names to watch in SPC play.
Now, with brackets nearly set and the margins razor-thin, the stage is built for Houston’s elite to make their postseason statement.
