Who is Brian Chavez from the book, Friday Night Lights?

Brian Chavez is a Hispanic senior at Permian High, and is one of the team captains. Brian is a thoughtful and intelligent young man who defies the dumb jock stereotype. He excels academically and aspires to go to Harvard, both to play football and for the education. Brian does exceptionally well during the 1988 Permian football season. He is accepted into Harvard. In Harvard, however, Brian cannot recreate the same football experience he had in Odessa. He later returns home, becomes a lawyer, and has his license suspended following a fight with his fiancé’s ex-husband. He now owns a local energy supply company that provides sand and water to the oil fields.
