This maturity is a byproduct of his biggest influence: his father. Denten credits his dad for pushing him to his absolute limits, instilling a work ethic that defines his "Why."

"I've wanted to play college football since I was born," Denten says. "There hasn't been a day that goes by where I don't dream about making plays on a big stage."

Game-Day Grit and Locker Room Leadership

Denten's favorite football memory encapsulates his "clutch" DNA. In a heated rivalry against Edmond North, Denten showcased his two-way dominance by Mossing two defenders for a spectacular catch before switching to defense to snag the game-winning interception.
