“Texas Longhorns stars set to shine in Super Bowl LIX!”

“Three Texas Longhorns alumni take the spotlight in Super Bowl LIX!”

Several former Texas football stars are gearing up for the NFL’s biggest stage as they compete in Super Bowl LIX on February 9 in New Orleans. This year’s showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will feature three Longhorns alumni, each playing pivotal roles for their teams.

Kansas City Chiefs
Xavier Worthy, WR
Worthy, the Chiefs’ first-round pick (28th overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft, has had a standout rookie season. Known for his blazing speed, sharp route-running, and versatility, he has become a key weapon in Kansas City’s offense. Whether lining up as a wide receiver or in the slot, Worthy has consistently outmaneuvered defenders, amassing 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns. He’s also contributed 104 rushing yards and three scores, making him a dual threat. Keep an eye on Worthy this Sunday—his big-play ability could be a game-changer.

Charles Omenihu, Edge
Omenihu, a fifth-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2019, has evolved into a dependable rotational edge rusher. After stints with the Texans and 49ers, he joined the Chiefs in 2023, bringing relentless pass-rushing and solid run-stopping skills. In the AFC Championship against the Bills, Omenihu played 43 snaps, recording two tackles and a critical pass breakup. Expect him to bring the same intensity as the Chiefs aim to pressure the Eagles’ offense.

Philadelphia Eagles
Moro Ojomo, DT
Selected by the Eagles in the seventh round last year, Ojomo has emerged as a reliable rotational pass rusher in a deep defensive line unit. Despite his 290-pound frame, he’s been a disruptive force, tallying 26 quarterback hurries and 36 pressures this season. Ojomo’s ability to generate pressure will be crucial as the Eagles look to contain Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

These Longhorns alumni are ready to shine on football’s grandest stage, showcasing the talent and determination that define Texas football. Don’t miss their impact in what promises to be an unforgettable Super Bowl showdown!
