Texas DB Josh Thompson accepts Reese’s Senior Bowl invite

A great opportunity for Josh Thompson.

The Reese’s Senior Bowl began to announce their list of players who have accepted invites on Tuesday. Texas defensive back Josh Thompson was selected to be part of the game and its activities.

The Senior Bowl website explains exactly what they look for when selecting players.

The 2022 Senior Bowl includes athletes from every level of college football. These are the best-of-the-best from around the country. Players will fill the roster spots that form the National and American squads for the nation’s premier all-star game.

Thompson’s season ended early due to a fractured fibula he suffered against Kansas.

The fifth-year senior started 22 games in his Texas career, logging two interceptions and 108 total tackles. Thompson also played a valuable special team role.

Against Texas Tech early in the season, Thompson jumped in front of a Tyler Shough pass taking it the other way for a Texas score.

Thompson joins Quandre Diggs, Devin Duvernay, Sam Ehlinger and many other former Longhorns to participate in the Senior Bowl.

Here is an updated list of Senior Bowl accepted invites.

Former Longhorn Kyle Shanahan listed his dreams in 2001 Texas football media guide

Former Longhorn Kyle Shanahan listed his future goals in the 2001 Texas football media guide, it appears he’s reaching them.

Each of us have very specific dreams when we’re young, but few get to live them.

Former Longhorn and current San Francisco 49’ers head coach Kyle Shanahan listed his dreams and aspirations in the 2001 Texas football media guide.

It appears Shanahan had a vision and plan to reach his goals, as he’s well on his way to achieving them.

Anthony Geronimo, sports producer for CBS Austin, was able to locate this blast from the past.

In the media guide, Shanahan’s playing career as a wide receiver was highlighted. While reading the ‘Shanahan File’ that lists random tidbits of information, you wouldn’t think much of his nickname, favorite movie, or favorite actor.

But the record he’d dream of breaking and what he’d like to accomplish after his playing career is worth noting. Shanahan not only dreamed of becoming a coach in the National Football League, he imagined himself breaking the record for most Super Bowls won by a head coach.

Shanahan was named the head coach of the 49’ers in 2017. Three years later, the 49’ers will be competing against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV.

At only 40 years of age, Shanahan has plenty of time to break the record he’s always dreamed of. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is currently the all-time leader with six Super Bowl wins.
