He was a top 100 football recruit out of Texas, with offers from Texas A&M, University of Arkansas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma University, but Dwight ultimately chose his hometown college - Baylor University. At Baylor, Dwight was an All Southwest Conference All Academic in 1995 and an All Big 12 football player in 1998. After college Dwight went on to play professionally for the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots.
