Please enjoy special thank you messages from the newest Longhorns in the NFL!
The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books, marking the moment 12 Longhorns saw their lifelong dream of making it to the NFL come true! The event was not only special for those who were drafted, but also for Texas Football which set a new school record for the most draft picks in program history during the modern draft era. Additionally, the Texas Football program now boasts the most players selected over the past two drafts.
Thank you for your support of Texas student-athletes, and for playing a vital role in their development! We can't wait to see our forever Longhorns shine the beacon of Burnt Orange into the National Football League! Please enjoy the following thank you messages from several of our draftees to Longhorn Foundation donors:
