Cosby is one of 11 Longhorn greats selected for induction in the 2023 Class of the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor.
As told to Will Dehmel
Growing up in a small, rural Texas town, football was everything. But for me, so was track and field. I first fell in love with The University of Texas, in fact, when I competed there at the high school track and field state championship. While I wish I could say I was a lifelong Longhorn, my favorite schools were originally those that my dual athlete idols went to: Florida State because of Deion Sanders and Auburn because of Bo Jackson.
