Had classes w/William Graham at UT.  He was quiet and a cool guy! 🤘

William Graham played defensive back for the Texas Longhorns from 1979 to 1981. In 11 games in 1980, he recorded four interceptions. In 11 games in 1981, he recorded seven more, tying the school record, leading the Southwest Conference and tied for third in the nation. His 11 career interceptions were fourth all-time at Texas.

He played for the Detroit Lions for six years.

Houston spent two years as a starting defensive tackle after playing his first two years at defensive end. He played in 50 career games, starting 33, at defensive tackle (21) and defensive end (12) and notched 170 tackles, 15 sacks, 43 tackles for a loss, 65 pressures, 13 passed defended, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble for his career.

Houston was a first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2009 after garnering honorable mention all-conference honors in 2007. He was a second-team Academic All-Big 12 selection in 2006 and a three-time member of the Texas Athletics Director’s Honor Roll.

Houston was selected with the 12th pick in the second round (44th overall) by Oakland Raiders in the 2010 NFL Draft.
