David is recruited to the school because he is a star athlete. Movie: School Ties When he hears comments against Jews he is afraid to disclose is background to anyone. Because of his personality and athleticism he is immensely popular. He becomes close friends with Charlie Dillon (Matt Damon). Together they reach the football championship. Charlie's girlfriend, Sally Wheeler (Amy Locane), is attracted to David much to Charlie's displeasure.
