Longhorns honor late Frank Denius during first practice of preseason camp

For decades Frank Denius' presence around the Texas Longhorns' football program was ubiquitous.

The Texas-ex was known for constantly attending practices and games, and his name is emblazoned on the practice facility.

Just this past Sunday, Denius, a famed World War II veteran and lawyer, passed away in Austin at the age of 93. But the Longhorns still made sure that Denius was properly remembered when they opened preseason camp on Friday.

The team set up a portrait of Denius on the sidelines with flowers at its base.

Texas coach Tom Herman wore a black Cobra Strike shirt at practice today to honor Frank Denius and his war service.
