Current Texas Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger isn’t the only Longhorn who is trying to step up during this time of quarantine to help out those in need. Former Longhorns linebacker and current Arizona Cardinal Jordan Hicks has stepped up to assist with a local pet shelter to help find homes and ways to help out our four-legged friends.
My wife & I have partnered with @austinpetsalive to get animals into homes during this wild time. We will be giving every adopter a care package that includes a crate, pet food, treats, a leash, a toy, litter for cats, and a gift card. Find your forever friend now! – Jordan Hicks via his twitter account
According to a recent report from 247 Sports, new pet owners will be sent home with a care package that includes a crate, toys, food and a leash. With the guidelines set to keep people at home and to comply with social distancing, getting a new pet is a way to keep your mind off of the pandemic. Not to mention that these pets deserve a loving home.
Hicks spent five seasons roaming the field at Darrell K. Royal-Memorial Stadium amassing 5.5 sacks, 248 total tackles, 135 solo tackles and two interceptions for the Longhorns defense. Last season in Arizona, Hicks totaled 150 combined tackles, seven quarterback hits, 1.5 sacks and three interceptions. His 150 tackles is the fourth-most in a single season in Cardinals history.
