Former Marine infantry soldier and leader of a mental wellness nonprofit organization to be honored during coin toss when Texas Football hosts LSU.
Jacob Schick knew when he was 8 years old he wanted to make the world a better place. He wanted to be a Marine.

In 2013, he guided the initiation of a social media campaign that went viral. The challenge of 22 pushups a day, for 22 days, drove attention to the 2012 Veterans Affairs study which concluded that 22 veterans die on average every day by suicide.
