Former Texas assistant coach Darryl Drake died Sunday morning in Pittsburgh at the age of 62.
Drake, who was serving as the wide receivers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers this season, spent six seasons in Austin alongside former Texas coach Mack Brown — from 1998 to 2003.
Drake coached a number of Longhorn legends while in Austin, including Roy Williams, Kwame Cavil and B.J. Johnson. Drake was responsible for coaching the Longhorns first-ever 1,000-yard receiver, Wane McGarity, in his first season at Texas in 1998.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to Sheila, the girls and his family,” Brown said.
