Before Friday’s game against the Kansas State Wildcats, the Texas Longhorns will recognize 29 members of the senior class, honoring a group that has been through a lot on the Forty Acres — as many as three head coaching changes for some of them, a global pandemic, a racial justice movement, heartbreaking losses, and the tragic death of their teammate Jake Ehlinger.
“As I said post game, this week is about celebrating our seniors. They’ve given a lot to the university. They’ve given a lot to this program. They’ve been through a lot,” Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian said on Monday.
