During their first season in the SEC, the Texas Longhorns established themselves as one of college football’s most powerful teams.
Texas finished the season 13-3, including a 7-1 record in the SEC. Their season was cut short in the College Football Playoff semifinal round, with a 28-14 loss to the eventual national champions, the Ohio State Buckeyes.
After the Longhorns’ season concluded, a couple of their best stars revealed their plans to enter the 2025 NFL Draft.
Tight end Gunnar Helm was a member of the group that declared for the draft and left the institution after four years. Following the revelation, Helm resorted to social media to convey a message to Longhorn Nation.
“Thank you, Texas,” Helm stated. Thank you, Texas.
