BEVO BEAT Football First look: Former Longhorns give a sneak peek of completed locker room Posted July 22nd, 2017


The big reveal hasn’t happened yet, but Texas gave former players and recruits a sneak peek of the much-anticipated new locker rooms Friday during the “Stars at Night” recruiting event at Royal-Memorial Stadium.

National champion offensive lineman Kasey Studdard was among the first to get a look, and he posted a few photos and a short video on Instagram.

A video also surfaced on Twitter of a couple former players, including Studdard, taking a tour of the facilities. You can see a sign as they enter the restroom: “Restrooms unavailable for use.” Which begs the question: which Longhorn will be the first to take a hydration test in the new digs?
