Stanley Richard, a Longhorn All-American defensive back, NFL first-round draft pick and eight-year pro, returned to UT and finished his degree.
Former Texas defensive back and 2004 Longhorn Hall of Honor inductee Stanley Richard notched several accomplishments on his belt during his time on the Forty Acres. All-American. All-Southwest Conference. Team MVP. First-round draft pick. And this weekend, The Sherriff will add another one that every student-athlete aspires to as a graduate of The University of Texas. He did so by returning to school after a long and highly-successful NFL career and a busy life after football as a rancher.
