His blue eyes lit up at the mention of a Tiger football game.

Trey Wimberly played offensive and defensive lineman from 1986 to 1990 as a Goliad High School Tiger.

This year, Tiger fans will hear Wimberly's voice over the speakers as he gives play-by-play from the stadium's press box.

In addition to his volunteer sports announcer gig, Wimberly also is a member of the Goliad school board.

"I took over seven years ago," Wimberly said. "I still get goosebumps when I hear the 'Tiger Rag.'"

After graduating from A&M University with a degree in animal science, the former Tiger started looking for a job back home.

"I bleed Tiger Blue," Wimberly said. "My mother's side settled in the north end of this county in the 1860s."

Wimberly's father, W.A. Wimberly, was a Tiger running back and his mother, Julie Wimberly, was a Tiger cheerleader.

The fifth generation Goliad resident has big plans for his sons Mac, Weston and Walker - who he hopes follow his lead.

"I try to stay pretty involved," Wimberly said. "I enjoy the heck out of it."
