On the 23rd of January, the Longhorns announced that former Austin LBJ head coach Jahmal Fenner was hired as the team’s new director of high school relations.
As a high school football coach at Austin LBJ, Fenner led the Jaguars to a state title appearance in 2021, making them the first Austin ISD team to make it to the championship game since 1973.
Fenner will be tasked with replacing Chris Gilbert, who has accepted the job of becoming both UNT’s assistant head coach and tight end coach.
