Please join your fellow alumni and meet former Longhorn All-American offensive lineman and second round draft pick Douglas Dawson who went on to play 11 years in the NFL.

Besides playing college football for the Texas Longhorns and receiving All-American and Academic All-American honors as a senior, he was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the second round of the 1984 NFL draft.
