Mikey is regarded as one of the best all-around athletes to ever walk the halls of WHS. As a Texan, he competed in baseball, football, and track and field - excelling in all three. He was an AP All-State defensive back in football in 2000 and turned around that spring and was named to the All-Centex baseball team. He also qualified for regional track that same spring in several events. People that either coached or saw him play rave about how athletic he was and how good he was at any sport that he competed in.

His winning percentage of 75.39% and 12 District Championships are also top marks for a WHS football coach. Beginning in 1990, Coach Nelms established Texan Pride and led the 1993 Texans to the state semifinals - at the time the furthest playoff run for any Texans team. Following eight years as head coach in Iowa Park and Glen Rose, he returned to Wimberley in 2002 and led the Texans to two State Championships (2005, 2011). Under Coach Nelms the Texans also advanced to the state semifinals in 2010 and the state quarterfinals in 2006 and 2009.
