The actor was announced to be playing the main character in a film about the famous North Texas wrestling family.

Kevin did.  And it seems one of them played at SMU . . . isn't that why they did a big deal with the Von Erichs at a SMU-NT game a few years ago?

I don’t think any played at smu. David played basketball for us and Kevin played football.
