Former Texas kicker Cameron Dicker will get one final chance to compete at the college level.
Dicker became a star early on in his career at Texas after he hit the game-winning kick to beat Oklahoma in the Red River Shootout as a freshman.
On Tuesday, the school announced that Dicker has accepted an invite to the Reese’s Senior Bowl. He will join fellow teammate Josh Thompson on the American team, which will be coached by the Detroit Lions staff.

Dicker made some very clutch kicks during his time as a Longhorn with multiple game-winners, and even took successfully over as the team’s punter in 2021 earning first team All-Big 12 punter.
He announced his intentions to enter the 2022 NFL draft about a week ago, opting to not return and use his final season of eligibility that he had due to the pandemic.
Dicker finished his career as the school leader in total points for a kicker, scoring 386 points in 49 games, which also ranks as the third-most among any player in Texas history. His 60 field goals are first in school history and his 206 extra points ranks second.
To replace him for kicking duties, Texas will either turn to Bert Auburn, who appeared in the Rice game and made 3-of-3 extra point attempts, or Will Stone who is among the 2022 recruiting class. For punting duties, Texas may turn to Isaac Pearson.
