Vince Young returning to Texas to work in alumni relations
Former Texas quarterback Vince Young is returning to the university to work in its Division of Diversity and Community Engagement, the school announced Thursday.
The school said Young starts on Sept. 1 and will serve as a development officer for program alumni relations, helping raise money to aid first-generation college students and students from low-income backgrounds.
"The position with DDCE is a great way to stay connected to the university and help make a difference in the lives of underserved kids across the state," Young said.
After finishing second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2005, Young led the Longhorns to the BCS Championship with a victory over USC.
