Texas Football Uses Riddell Helmet Technology To Promote Player Safety

The University of Texas football program has garnered much attention since hiring new head football coach Tom Herman last November. Aggressive recruiting and promoting new player lockers has helped Herman make plenty of headlines since his arrival in Austin. But one of his most recent tweets displayed his team’s strong commitment to player safety, using innovative technology from helmet manufacturer Riddell.

Last month, Herman posted a two-minute video on his Twitter account featuring Head Football Athletic Trainer, Anthony Pass. In the video, Pass discusses the Riddell Insite Impact Response System, which tracks and records major head collisions received during games and practices.
