Cody Whitehair looked upon a raucous ballroom at the Dallas Omni Hotel during the first day of Big 12 Media Days last summer.
From his seat on top of a raised platform, the senior offensive tackle could look out over a smattering of colorful characters, taking the shape of media members, opposing coaches and players, cheerleaders and mascots of both the big head and normal head variety.
To his immediate right, a banner adorned with his name and a picture of him decked out in full gameday regalia. Currently though, Whitehair was wearing his second uniform, a black suit jacket with a silver Powercat on his left breast pocket and a white shirt with a purple tie.
