DALLAS, Texas – First-year Texas Football Head Coach Tom Herman will appear on the cover of this summer's Dave Campbell's Texas Football, the magazine announced on Wednesday. Every summer, football fans across the Lone Star State eagerly await their copy, known as "the bible of Texas football."
"What an honor it is to represent The University of Texas on the cover of Dave Campbell's Texas Football," Herman said. "There's not a coach, player or fan of football in our great state that hasn't read it over its many years of existence, and count me as one of its longtime supporters. Dave Campbell and the staff's efforts in putting it together every year going back to the 1960s are legendary, and from our Longhorn family, we thank you for the opportunity to be on the cover."
For the first time ever in 2017, all 400 pages of Dave Campbell's Texas Football – the world's largest football preview magazine – will be printed in color.
"Every year, our job is to put one of the most compelling stories in Texas on the cover of the magazine," said Greg Tepper, Dave Campbell's Texas Football managing editor. "This year, I don't think there's any doubt that Tom Herman is the state's most compelling figure — a cerebral, intense figure tasked with a clear goal: bring the Longhorns back to their former glory. In my view, it's the story of the 2017 season in Texas."
The annual magazine covers football in Texas — from high school to recruiting to college to the pros — as no other publication can. Inside the 400-page magazine, readers will find:
• An illuminating main feature about Texas coach Tom Herman, penned by Kevin Sherrington of The Dallas Morning News
