AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Athletics and the Longhorn Foundation are proud to announce a transformative $10 million gift from Jason and Kisha Itkin in support of the new Silver Spurs Center, part of the state-of-the-art Texas Football Training Facility currently under development adjacent to Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium.
In recognition of their extraordinary generosity, the space will be recognized as the Jason & Kisha Itkin Silver Spurs Center, creating a lasting legacy that will benefit generations of Longhorns.
Jason Itkin is widely recognized as one of the best trial lawyers in America and is the co-founder of Arnold & Itkin LLP, a Texas personal injury law firm known nationwide for securing record-setting results for its clients.
Kisha Itkin is the Founder and CEO of the Theorem Collection, which includes Napa Valley's Theorem Vineyards, Montana's Theorem Ranch, and Theorem Performance Horses.
"Texas Athletics continues to be defined by the passion and commitment of our supporters, and Jason and Kisha's leadership is a shining example," said Vice President and Lois and Richard Folger Athletics Director Chris Del Conte. "Their gift ensures that our football program and the Silver Spurs organization will have a world-class destination that matches the excellence of The University of Texas."
The 9,400-square-foot facility will serve as both a premier gameday destination and a year-round hub for the Silver Spurs, the student organization responsible for the care and handling of the university's iconic mascot, Bevo. The facility will feature indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a stage area, a Bevo feature wall, and event seating for hundreds of alumni, students, and guests.
Beyond gamedays, the Jason & Kisha Itkin Silver Spurs Center will host student meetings, special events, and traditions that connect generations of Silver Spurs. The project underscores Texas Athletics' commitment to providing facilities that align with the program's championship-level expectations.
For the Itkins, this commitment carries special meaning with Jason having served as president of the Silver Spurs during his undergraduate years at The University of Texas.
"We owe so much of our personal and professional successes to The University of Texas," said Jason Itkin. "It is an honor for us to be able to give back in a way that will help future generations of Silver Spurs and student-athletes grow into leaders that exemplify values like excellence, teamwork, and integrity."
"We believe deeply that what starts here changes the world, and we are grateful to play a part in that mission," added Kisha Itkin.
The Itkins' generosity builds on their longstanding support of UT, strengthening the foundation for excellence across Texas Athletics.
"This gift means so much to our program and our university," said Head Football Coach Steve Sarkisian. "It's an investment in our students, our traditions, and the future of Texas Football. We're so grateful to Jason and Kisha for their vision, leadership, and continued support."
