The son of legendary Texas Longhorns linebacker Britt Hager, senior defensive end Breckyn Hager bleeds burnt orange and plays with unmatched intensity, so it was hardly surprising when those two factors combined in 2015 to produce a pledge from which he’s never wavered.
After arriving as a freshman, Hager vowed not to cut his hair until the Longhorns won a Big 12 championship.
Three years later, with his blonde hair now long past his shoulders, Hager will finally get an opportunity to cut it all off when the Horns face off against the Oklahoma Sooners in the Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Saturday.
