Texas defensive end Breckyn Hager became a go-to player at Big 12 media days with his long blond hair and stream of consciousness quotes.
The thing is, he wanted more than anything to get rid of his trademark locks. He had vowed as a freshman not to cut his hair until Texas won the Big 12 championship. He’s been waiting and now has a chance with Texas in Saturday’s title game against Oklahoma
After a Big 12 reprimand for his “OU sucks” remarks, Hager wasn’t made available to the media this week. Teammates said he was eager to fulfill his vow.
