pretty neat story. Never knew he was so into this 

@Quinncent McManning, Jr.thanks for sharing, cool story.🤘

Just saw this but thanks for the share ! 🤘🏻

This is what I thought would have convinced Zion Williams to go with UT over LSU. Acting is his interest outside of football.

Thanks for posting the ESPN link, cool story.  I like seeing the Arizona guys doing well with their UT connections (so many have bombed at Texas the past decade - Connor Brewer, Jake Smith, Brayden Liebrock, Zach Swanson).

The way I remember the Bijan - Matthew origin story McConaughey introduced himself to Bijan (I think during a recruiting trip, or maybe once he arrived as a frosh?) and Bijan said later he had no idea who he was. "I never watched any of his movies, he was just some random dude to me." 

Glad to see the bromance is paying off now.

It was during Bijan's first visit.  His high school Coach brought him on a trip.  Also insisted when Bijan listed his top 5 that Texas be added.
