Leesburg graduate Danny Trevathan to play in Super Bowl with Denver Broncos 6:18 p.m. EST, January 27, 2014 LEESBURG — Linebacker Danny Trevathan, who will play in Sundays Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos, has strong roots. Never forget where you come from, the Leesburg High graduate wrote on Twitter the day after the Broncos defeated the New England Patriots 26-16 on Jan. 19 in the AFC championship game. In the Super Bowl, Trevathan has the challenging task of stopping the Seattle Seahawks powerful running back Marshawn Lynch and stalking elusive quarterback Russell Wilson. Trevathan, who attended Kentucky, had a breakout year in his second season. He recorded 87 tackles during the regular season and followed that up with eight against the Patriots. He did have a forgettable gaffe against the Baltimore Ravens. Trevathan snagged an interception off Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and was headed for a touchdown but dropped the ball before he crossed the goal line. This season also saw the birth of his daughter Danoir Louise Trevathan, whose photo was broadcast during an NBC Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs. Cant stop looking my lil mama in her eyes, he wrote on Twitter. Trevathan isnt the first Leesburg High athlete to play for the Broncos. Max Wettstein, a wide receiver/defensive end with the Yellow Jackets from 1959-62, played two seasons as a Broncos tight end after starring at FSU. Wettstein was killed in 1993 in an ultralight plane crash at age 49. jfallstrom@tribune or 352-742-5916
