Football’s Jake Majors in Final Season With Longhorns
Jake Majors, BBA ’23, is in his fifth season with the Texas football program and had 41 consecutive starts going into the 2024 schedule of games. According to the Austin American-Statesman, he is finally getting some well-deserved attention. “It’s really just about how we perform as a group,” says Majors, a four-year starter. “I’ve been here for so long, and I take pride in anchoring this O-line. The (coaches) haave trusted me with that role, so I’m super excited and just looking forward to building the team chemistry in the O-line group. I take on that responsibility with pride, and I don’t take it lightly,” he told the newspaper.
Coach Steve Sarkisian says Majors is “one of the veteran leaders on the team.” In 2020, Majors won the starting job as a freshman late in the season and went on to block for All-American running backs Bijan Robinson and Jonathon Brooks. He also protects quarterbacks Quinn Ewers and Arch Manning.
