Trey Williams: The Original VYPE Star
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.
COACHES CORNER: New CE King Football Coach Laxen Pumped To Put His Stamp On Program
Cory Laxen has been named the new head football coach at CE King High School… and he is pumped about the opportunity.
The offensive line coach and associate head coach for the Panthers will replace George Young.
Laxen came over to CE King with now-athletic director Derek Fitzhenry, where they worked together at North Shore High School under the direction of coach Jon Kay.
VYPE’s Matt Malatesta caught up with Laxen after the Panthers’ athletic period, where it’s business as usual.
