I want to say the following about our beloved Texas Longhorns.

I want to firmly and publicly express how grateful I am for where our program is right now and recognize the many who are responsible. If someone had told me at this point 4 years ago after the 2020 season the following events would happen...

We would move out of that feckless and punchless Big 12 Conference
We would be welcomed to the SEC, the gold standard of CFB Conferences
Texas would be in the thick of the NC picture in 2023 and 2024 with consecutive CFP berths
Our recruiting successes, sound player development and transfer formulas would be at such a point where we have an abundance of high-quality players in all phases with talented depth in the wings on par with the 2002-2006 units
We would win the 2023 Big 12 and be within an overtime defeat of winning the damn SEC the very next season
We would have Longhorns winning the Doak Walker Award, the Outland Trophy TWICE, the Lombardi award and the Thorpe Award
We would rack up FOUR 1st Team All-Americans and SIX 2nd team All-Americans in that span

I wouldn't have been able to picture it in my wildest of dreams. And I would have honestly questioned the sanity of someone picturing it. But it has happened. And with the course those leading our program have worked so hard to put us on, more great things are certainly on the horizon. A deepest and sincere thank you to Steve Sarkisian, Chris Del Conte, Kevin Eltife, Pete Kwiatkowski, Sarah Baumgartner, Torre Becton, John Bianco, Kyle Flood, Tashard Choice, Blake Gideon, Bo Davis, Kenny Baker, Terry Joseph, A.J. Milwee and Jay Hartzell.

And to all of the players who have persevered, championed the cause, believed in the message, made the promise a reality and given this University and its supporters so much to celebrate. Your aspirations and team goals are there within reach, GO AND TAKE IT!
