🏈 TEXAS TOUGH. ON THE FIELD AND IN UNIFORM. 🇺🇸
After last night’s incredible 24-23 comeback win over No. 1 Ohio State, it seems like the perfect time to remember that the connection between Texas Football and the Texas Army National Guard runs deeper than most people realize. Texas trailed 23-3 before scoring 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to pull off the win.
Former Longhorn Nate Boyer knows both kinds of teamwork.
Did You Know: Boyer served as a Staff Sergeant with the 19th Special Forces Group, Texas Army National Guard. He is also a United States Army Green Beret, actor, and he played college football for the Texas Longhorns as a long-snapper and was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2015.
Football and military service are obviously very different, but both depend on people doing their job, trusting the person beside them and refusing to quit when things get tough.
Last night, the Longhorns showed a little of that Texas grit.
Congratulations, Longhorns. 🤘
