AUSTIN, Texas - The University of Texas Football program boasts 12 student-athletes who already hold undergraduate degrees as they head to New Orleans for the 2019 Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Six Longhorns played the entire 2018 season with a degree in hand: Calvin Anderson (Mathematical Economics from Rice); Andrew Beck (Corporate Communications); Jak Holbrook (Radio-Television-Film); Chris Nelson (Applied Learning and Development); Elijah Rodriguez (Physical Culture and Sports); and Tre Watson (Sociology from California).

"Graduating is something that I've dreamed of each and ever day, but walking across the state was a relief," senior captain Chris Nelson said.
