Dekaney legend Trey Williams and VYPE's Matt Malatesta

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.
Fort Bend Marshall's Kaeden "KK" Johnson
HEADLINING THE HERD: Johnson's dual-threat capability could lift Buffs, Aggies alike
As Fort Bend Marshall gears up for what could be a defining season, all eyes are on senior Kaeden Johnson -- a competitor whose blend of talent and leadership has made him the heartbeat of the Buffs' program.
The dynamic three-star prospect, recently ranked No. 174 nationally in On3’s Rivals300 update, has firmly established himself as one of Texas’s most versatile and impactful high school athletes. Johnson, who announced his commitment to Texas A&M in June, enters his final campaign as the undisputed catalyst of the Buffs’ offense and a cornerstone for Coach James Williams and his staff.

While Johnson’s skillset allows him to line up virtually anywhere on the field, the senior will return under center as the starting quarterback this fall. In 2024, he threw for over 2,100 yards and 25 touchdowns, adding 571 rushing yards and six scores on the ground. His dual-threat capability earned him first-team, all-district honors and solidified his reputation as a genuine offensive weapon.
Teamwise, Marshall compiled a strong 10-3 record in their last campaign, finishing third in the ultra-competitive District 9-5A
Division II—trailing only State Champion Randle and Regional Finalist Iowa Colony. A third-round playoff loss to Iowa Colony ended the Buffs’ postseason run, but it also left the group hungry for more.

With a seasoned leader like Johnson back at the helm, expectations around the Buffalos are understandably high. They’ll hope to channel the spirit of their 2019 squad, which reached the UIL State Final in Arlington, but this year’s path will require its own identity—one built on resilience, execution, and the leadership of players like Johnson.
For Johnson, this final chapter in his high school career isn’t just about chasing wins. It’s a chance to leave a lasting imprint on a program that has shaped him, while preparing for the next level. If his track record is any indication, both he—and Fort Bend Marshall—are ready for the moment.
