Defensive lineman Gustavo Gallardo is headed to Army West Point to play Division I football El Paso Times

Ever since he was a young kid, Gustavo Gallardo had the dream of playing Division I college football.

On Wednesday, the Andress senior saw his dream became a reality when he signed to play with the Army Black Knights at West Point.

The 6-foot-1, 290-pound Gallardo doesn't have any ties to the school but has grown infatuated with the military through the years and when the football program began recruiting him last April, he was hopeful of attending college at Army.
