FORMER ALL SWAC RECEIVER SEEKS NFL TRYOUTS

DALLAS—Former Prairie View A&M University wide receiver, Tristen Wallace. is seeking tryouts with National Football League teams to showcase his ability as a playmaker to make meaningful contributions at his position, said John Biggins, his agent.  Biggins noted the 6’3’ 233 lb. receiver who possesses 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash, has been prevented from getting a tryout because of five-year-old false allegations of sexual misconduct while attending the University of Oregon in 2016 as a freshman.

“Those allegations were investigated by both the University of Oregon Police Department and local District Attorney and found to have a lack of any credible evidence to pursue, “said Biggins.  “As such, we want Mr. Wallace to be given every opportunity to live his lifelong dream of playing in the NFL.”

Wallace, a star quarterback from Desoto, Texas high school, transitioned to wide receiver to enhance his ability to play professionally.  He transferred to Prairie View after attending Trinity Valley Community College for a year where he made first team All-SWJCFC.  At Prairie View, he led the team in receiving and made All SWAC in 2018 and 2019.  Wallace sat out 2020 to prepare for the NFL draft.

“Tristen is simply an outstanding athlete, “Biggins said.  “He has the tremendous size, 4.4 speed, great hands and consistent ability to make big plays and score touchdowns.”  The former receiver participated in two pro days and impressed NFL scouts, according to his agent.  “They were really impressed but because of the character issue surrounding players in the league right now, they said these false allegations need to be publicly put to rest.”

In preparation of an opportunity, the 23-year-old who received his Communications degree from the University in May, has been playing in the Spring league in Houston.  “I am in exceptionally good shape and ready to contribute to a NFL team, “said Wallace.
