In college football, it's not uncommon for special teams and the units within them to take on monikers to build an identity, with many taking on military-themed nicknames that build on the ideas of teamwork, comradery and unity.
The University of Texas has taken it a step further, naming the units in honor of veterans that have an association with the University.
"We wouldn't be able to play this great game if it weren't for the veterans that have fought for us to have the freedoms that we enjoy in our great country," said head coach Tom Herman.
