Two months after becoming the first Texas Longhorns walk on to score a touchdown since Ahmard Hall in 2005, sophomore wide receive Kai Money was put on scholarship this week.
As the Longhorns have in the past, head coach Tom Herman called Money’s father, Phillip, who played quarterback at Rice, to enlist his help in making the announcement to the 6’0, 183-pound Brownsville product.
“That’s awesome,” Phillip Money told Herman. “You’ve made his life, man, right there — that’s what he’s always wanted. He’s just going to be ecstatic.
