WATCH: Walk-on WR receives Texas scholarship

There’s another new scholarship player on the Texas Longhorns football team, as senior wide receiver Phillip Moeller joined senior defensive back Jarmarquis Durst in receiving news of his addition to those ranks this week:

“Really all I wanted since I got here was your guys’ respect,” Moeller told his teammates. “And to matter. I just want to make my family proud. You guys took me in. You treat me with respect and that means so much to me. I love you guys.”

The 6’0, 190-pounder from Plano appeared in his first game last season, against Baylor, but makes his most obvious impact in the classroom.
