Since protects erupted across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis after a police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes, Texas Longhorns players have shared their publicly thoughts on racial injustice and marched from Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium to the State Capitol to protest police brutality and systemic racism.
During a Thursday media availability, junior safety Caden Sterns spoke about the need to use his platform to make changes. Previously, junior wide receiver Brennan Eagles discussed the possibility of not playing football, as did junior cornerback Anthony Cook in a Thursday tweet that was subsequently deleted.
