The Army veteran and retired U.S. Secret Service agent will be honored during the coin toss when Texas Football hosts Oklahoma State.
David Allison's call to service led him literally around the world. He grew up and attended college in Georgia, before serving as an Army officer in West Germany and the Middle East, and later as a Secret Service agent protecting dignitaries at home and abroad.
He now serves The University of Texas as Safety and Security Manager for Texas Athletics. Allison generously donated his time to share his story, in his words, with TexasSports.com
One of my first inspirations was my professor of military science in high school, and that is when I started to think about a career in the military.
