AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The reaction of an 11-year-old boy to the Longhorns making the playoffs has gone viral. Knox Kendall cheers for the Texas Longhorns, but he was born into an Aggie family and wore an A&M maroon onesie home from the hospital.
Knox, however, was intrigued at the age of three, wondering what the team in burnt orange was all about.
Even if it meant going against the wishes of his Aggie parents.
“If we’re really good parents, we won’t be mad at him for being a kid.”
Knox became emotional after learning that the Texas Longhorns had made the college football playoffs.
“Everything was just rushing through my head,” said Knox. “We’re in, no one can take this spot from us, we’re in, it’s locked, it’s good.”
His parents were encouraging.
