Who is Dalton Schultz's wife, Laurel Heinrich? Texans TE married his college sweetheart

Dalton Schultz, who recently agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Texans, is married to his college sweetheart Laurel Heinrich.

The couple had a slightly unconventional love story, with the couple eloping and tying the knot in a secret ceremony. In an Instagram post, Schultz confirmed that although their marriage didn't take place the way they wanted it to, he is still happy.

"On July 6th I married my soul mate and I couldn’t be happier about it! We couldn’t do it the exact way we wanted to but like the many curveballs in our relationship, we knocked it out of the park," he wrote. "Lord knows I’m batting above my league with you Lo."

A San Francisco State University graduate, Laurel studied Political Science and Government. Starting out as an office assistant, she's also worked as a Hostess (Midgley's Public House) and Hostess server (SABROSA). She also worked as a cashier with Goat Hill Pizza in 2015.
