Sean Salinas, was a four-year letterman and served as the Bulldogs starting quarterback for three seasons (in 2003, 2004 and 2005). Salinas is the school record-holder for career passing yards (7,558), School single-season passing yards (2,800), and passing yards in a single-game (519) as well as the school record-holder for total offense in a single-game (505) and for total offense in a career (7,658). Salinas ranks second in career TD passes (58) and is still the holder of six school passing records. Salinas led TLU to its then-best finish in the American Southwest Conference (third, in 2004). The Bulldogs went 12-8 in his last two years as starting quarterback with two narrow losses (in 2004 and 2005) to 2004 national runner-up and 2005 national title contender Mary Hardin-Baylor. In those two games versus UMHB, Salinas threw for 589 yards and six touchdowns. From 2003-05, Salinas and TLU Hall of Famer Jason Trahan worked together to break 19 different school records, including team records for single-season passing yards and touchdown passes. The Salinas/Trahan tandem connected on a 98-yard touchdown pass, the longest play from scrimmage in school history, during a come-from-behind win over East Texas Baptist in 2004. The pair connected on passing plays a total of 92 times, tallying 2,098 yards and 16 touchdowns.
