My Story: A Longhorn Portrait of Brinkley Field

Soccer senior Brinkley Field is thriving in a new, but also familiar role for the Texas Longhorns.

When Susan Field's mom would come home in the afternoons to find freshly baked cookies on the kitchen counter, she knew her daughter must have a big test coming up soon.

"You bake when you're happy but also when you're stressed because it's fun and relaxing and you get to bring warm, delicious things to other people," Susan Field said. "Baking in our family is a generational thing. Really, it started with my grandmother."

Susan's daughter, Brinkley, a senior defender on the Texas Soccer team, has ushered the family baking gene into its fourth generation with the same intention it started – making others happy.
