Texas Football: Frank Okam passes on Longhorns, joins Carolina Panthers

A coach that reportedly interviewed with the Texas football program heading into the 2020 offseason, former Baylor Bears defensive line coach Frank Okam, looks to be headed for the NFL coaching ranks. Okam was a former Texas defensive lineman himself that took home Freshman All-American honors back in 2004.

Okam had a solid college football career on the Forty Acres playing for the Texas Longhorns football program from 2004-2007. After his time with the Longhorns was over, Okam took his talents to the next level as a fifth round pick in the 2008 NFL Draft of the Houston Texans.
