Koegel doesn't consider himself a star, but the reality is, he gets treated like one. Â
"It's crazy to think that they (fans) do that," said Koegel, "but it's awesome to meet them. And still to this day I get messages that say, 'It was awesome to meet you, you're my favorite,' and that has value, that's what it's all about." Â
Like Mendez, Koegel does his share of modeling and club appearances, but his true passion is coaching high school football kickers. Â
At age 26, Koegel knows his reality fame will eventually fade, so he's preparing to enter a different kind of "real world."
