Willie Nelson
Willie Nelson has to be one of the most well-known country musicians of all time. Even if you haven’t heard him on a track, you probably know him by name or from one of his countless TV and movie appearances over the last few decades.
The country music star played halfback for Abbott High School’s football team, as well as the guard position for the school’s basketball team. While still in high school, he was already learning how to raise and wrestle pigs. By the time he enrolled in college, football was the last thing in his mind. Music and making money occupied his every thought since then.
