Frank Medina brings rare grit and comeback value to UTRGV’s offensive line
In the 2025 season, Medina earned a scholarship, started the first four games, and appeared in five total games for UTRGV, showing enough trust from the staff to be a Day 1 contributor up front.[7] What makes him stand out is not just size and position flexibility, but a resilient backstory: he fought back into football, built his way onto the roster, and has drawn strong community support while battling leukemia, which speaks to toughness and character beyond the box score.[5][15][16] He looks like a good fit for teams that value physicality, perseverance, and dependable depth on the offensive line.[7]
