The Longhorns have officially hired Jay Boulware as the tight ends coach and the associate head coach for special teams. Playing offensive tackle for the Longhorns in 1991 and 1992, Boulware is a Texas alum from Irving, Texas.

Starting his coaching career in Texas, Boulware was a graduate assistant for the Longhorns from 1994-1996. Also coaching tight ends, over two decades later, he is back in Austin to the same position.

Hiring him from Oklahoma, he was with the Sooners for seven years as their running back coach and special teams coordinator. Boulware has coached all across the country, coaching at Northern Illinois, Arizona, Stanford, Utah, Iowa State, and Auburn.

After hiring Mike Yurcich as the offensive coordinator, the Longhorns have almost made all of the hires to wrap up their offensive staff. With a lot of starters coming back for Yurcich, there will be a lot of expectations on the offensive side of the ball. Boulware will help the tight ends become a threat for Sam Ehlinger.
