Laredo – Jeremy Gabrillo, a recent graduate of Laredo Alexander High School, has been accepted to play baseball for the University of Dallas following a remarkable recovery from a serious knee injury. Gabrillo tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during the opening game of the 2024 football season against San Antonio Marshall, which put his athletic future in jeopardy.
After sustaining the injury, Gabrillo underwent surgery two weeks later, which necessitated a recovery period estimated at six to nine months. Concerns loomed over what this would mean for his future in baseball. However, he defied the odds, successfully returning to the diamond to contribute to the Alexander Bulldogs baseball team. Under his participation, the team accomplished significant milestones, including winning district, bi-district, and area titles in the spring of 2025.
Gabrillo’s commitment to the University of Dallas marks a significant milestone in his athletic career. The university, a Division III institution, is known for its competitive program within the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. In addition to his baseball pursuits, Gabrillo indicated an intent to study business at the university, noting that the school’s Catholic background aligns with his personal faith.
During his senior season with the Bulldogs, Gabrillo showcased his talent by recording 11 hits, six runs batted in (RBIs), five sacrifice flies, and drawing 18 walks across 65 at-bats. Reflecting on the success achieved during his time at Alexander, the Bulldogs attained three district titles, four consecutive bi-district titles, and reached the regional semifinals for the first time since 2019, posting an impressive overall record of 24-11.
His recovery has been credited in part to the dedicated efforts of Dr. Sandra Gomez from Powerhouse Therapy, who played a pivotal role in his rehabilitation process. Gabrillo has expressed appreciation for the supportive coaching staff at Alexander High School, recognizing their rigorous training and mental preparation as instrumental in his development as an athlete ready for the next level.
In addition to his successful high school career, Gabrillo showcased his skills on a wider stage as a member of Team Laredo, which competed against Taiwan in the 18U Pony World Series on August 2, 2025. This experience further solidified his belief in his capabilities, as he considers himself stronger and better than he was prior to the injury.
Looking back on his time at Alexander, Gabrillo expressed feelings of gratitude for the friendships he formed with his teammates and the unique culture of the baseball program. Historically, the Bulldogs have amassed an impressive total of 16 district titles and 23 bi-district titles, and Gabrillo will miss being a part of that legacy as he embarks on his collegiate journey.
Gabrillo’s story serves as an inspiring example of resilience and determination, demonstrating that challenges can be overcome with hard work and support. His upcoming transition to the University of Dallas marks the beginning of a new chapter in his athletic career, and he is eager to contribute his skills both on and off the field.
