You may know him around campus as El Rancho’s resident history buff or you might even know him as one of the Academic Decathlon team’s newest members, but what you probably don’t know is that senior Antonio “Antwan” Escobar is simply irresistible!
​On campus, Escobar is practically a living legend. It’s not every day that you get to walk alongside such an involved Don! “I’m currently involved in Academic Decathlon and in speech and debate as well,” Antonio said, “Those are the only activities I’m a part of [this year] but I used to run track and cross my freshman and sophomore year.” We love an involved king!
Not only is he one of El Rancho’s most involved students, but he’s also one of the most intelligent, too! Escobar is no stranger to academic success. From AP Scholar with Distinction to a near perfect SAT score, Antonio has proven time after time that he is, quite literally, an intellectual. “I’m really proud about both my SAT score and my AP scholar award,” Escobar said, “It makes me really happy to be recognized for doing well on these tests.”
If his brains weren’t enough to woo you, then perhaps his music taste will. Antonio lovesa good throwback song! His favorite artists are Green Day and Weezer. “I like both of these bands because they produce great music that I could enjoy at any time,” Escobar said, “I have seen both of them live. I’ve seen Green Day twice and Weezer three times.” If there’s any way to win this boy’s heart, it’s probably through music!
Academics and music aside, Antonio has plenty of other things he likes to do in his free time. Escobar loves reading, watching television and movies, and playing video games! “I spend a lot of time playing games, but mostly on the weekends,” Antonio said, “My all-time favorite game is the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It’s a game I have played over and over and no matter what it never gets boring and I don’t run out of stuff to do” Watch out Twitch gamers, Escobar is coming for your brand!
While a gaming career sounds like the perfect job for Antonio, trust us, that is most certainly not what he wants to pursue! “There are a lot of schools I have in mind but I would want to go to NYU or the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology,” Escobar said, “I plan to major in some kind of engineering, preferably petroleum engineering, nuclear engineering, or computer engineering.” So you’re telling us that he’s nice, smart, AND has a plan for his future? We stan!
Ladies and gentlemen, if you thought that a career in engineering was where Antonio was going to stop, then boy were you wrong! Escobar has big plans for his future! “I would definitely want to be a politician in the future,” Antonio said, “I’d start in low positions of course, but one day I would like to be a senator or even a Supreme Court justice.” Make sure you register to vote this year, so you’ll be prepared for when Mr. Antonio Escobar runs for office!

If you aren’t dying to get to know Antonio more by now, then there’s probably something wrong with you! Not only is Escobar a very sweet boy, but he’s also full of surprises. You never know what you’re going to get when you hang out with him! Unfortunately, Antonio is off the market, but that doesn’t mean you can’t strike up a conversation in the halls. Trust us, he’s super friendly!
Next time you’re talking about academics, politics, or even video games, do it in good company and talk to Antonio Escobar. You won’t regret it!
