Cory Mose of KVUE News reported that several current and former Longhorns were in attendance, including lifelong friends and fellow NFL draft prospects running back Tahj Brooks and pass rusher Princely Umanmielen. The list of attendees also included Toronto Raptors guard Jamal Shead, an Austin native.

Jahdae Barron became one of the six Texas Longhorns to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft these past three years.

The 2024 Jim Thorpe Award winner as the nation’s top defensive back, Barron joins a secondary anchored by reigning NFL defensive player of the year Pat Surtain II, third-year man Riley Moss and high-quality nickel Ja’Quan McMillian.
