My husband and I are soooo excited! We talked with a lot of great programs in this process, but @KU_Football was head and shoulders above the rest. They spoke to who we are and what we value as a family. Ooooh weee Let’s cook! 🔥 #RockChalkJayhawk ❤️💙

When I tell you the comments are a testimony to what our Longhorn family has meant from day 1…🧡.
BREAKING: Texas EDGE/DL Justice Finkley plans to enter the Transfer Portal, he tells @on3sports. The 6’2 250 EDGE/DL totaled 26 Tackles, 2.5 Sacks, & 1 FF in his time with the Longhorns. Will have 1 year of eligibility remaining .

When my baby committed, a coach that I respect & know called me and said ,Texas must have dropped a really big bag.” My response, “Justice is the bag. I’m sending the bag to Texas.” I wasn’t being cocky. Sometimes you just have to shut ish downnnn😒.

After a great team win, we met @_delconte. He suggested that we fly a Texas flag in our yard back in Alabama. We told him that we already have 2 flying 😆🤘🏽🤘🏽 He’s such a gracious gentleman and the work he does for UT athletics is unmatched #HookEm

When Justice signed to Texas, they had just finished a losing season. He caught criticism,but he believed in what Coach Sark told him that he was building.He stood on his decision. This energy right here is deserved! This is how winners talk.He’s still not scared. Mama approved.
@espn Look at your son!! 😂 @aprilPINKie.

This is cool! I’ll keep it going also. Justice and our family committed to Texas when we were a 5-7 team. This #1 Ranking is validation that despite the slack we caught for choosing Texas, we were obedient and let God order our steps
I took this photo in Lawrence, Kansas at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium on November 19th, the year two thousand and sixteen Anno Domini. If you didn’t suffer through this pain as a Texas Longhorn, you can’t *truly* appreciate where we are now. #HookEm

Respectfully, why are some Texas fans cautious to say anything about Bama? They are not a God. Everyone in my office is a Bama fan but Imma wear their heads out this whole week. They might send me home early 😂😂.

I’m so excited to be headed to ATX this weekend! After not traveling the last two games, I can’t wait to spend time with my son, lay hands on him and cover him in prayer like I always do even when he is sleeping. Nothing like a praying mama 🥰🙏🏽 aaand we get to eat brisket lol

This is who he is… team over self. He deserves all of the good things. Now, Let’s finish the job 💍.
Steve Sarkisian says a pair of Longhorns who have entered the portal will stick with the team for the Playoff run: .• DL Tia Savea.• EDGE Justice Finkley. He added a couple of others are still deciding.

Two months after verbally committing, one month before signing day. And two months before early enrolling Texas WAS NOT bowl eligible. Jokes were made. Pressure was applied. But we are who we say we are. We stand on faith and our word is bond over here.
God took David from the pasture to the palace. He can take you from “ineligible” to undeniable. That’s the mentality 👊🏾.

Even tonight one Bama fan told my husband, Justice Finkley is a traitor. Another one said he turned his back on his state. So we are keeping this energy until they put some respect on it. If you don’t want a Finkley to tell you the truth, then don’t ask. #dawg #NoFear.

Our new conference doesn’t respect us. Texas is constantly disrespected. This is arguably the biggest win in many fans’ lifetime. Our players gave their all for UT. You put a camera in a 19 year old’s face after this moment and expect him to be a politician? No. He’s a dawg.
@BrandingHoward @espn I am assuming this was in response to trash talk on the field during the game, otherwise, this wasn’t showing the respect that we should be showing to our new conference!!.
