Steve Sarkisian Joins Nick Saban’s Daughter Kristen to Celebrate Scottie Scheffler’s 2nd Masters Win in 3 Years

Steve Sarkisian and Texas go hand in hand. The Longhorns head coach led his team to the Big 12 Conference title and a CFP appearance last season. He even got the honor of being the honorary starter to wave the green flag for the NASCAR COTA race in the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, in March.

Since taking the helm as the HC for Texas football in 2021, Steve Sarkisian has poured his heart and soul into the team’s success. It’s no wonder he was overcome with a sense of pride and joy when a former Texas student achieved a remarkable feat in the recent golf Masters Tournament. His celebration was a testament to his belief in the potential of his players and the bright future of Texas football.

In what is a remarkable feat for No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, he won his second Masters Tournament in three years on Sunday after his first Masters Tournament win in 2022. Following this win, Nick Saban’s daughter Kristen Saban took to her Instagram story to post a picture of the 27-year-old to show her appreciation. In addition, Texas Longhorns HC Steve Sarkisian also posted a photo of Scheffler on his story to celebrate the prestigious Texas win. 

Scottie Scheffler finished the tournament with 11 under and four strokes up. He was previously tied with Ludvig Aberg, Collin Morikawa, and Max Homa, entering the eighth hole. But that was before he hit three consecutive birdies to leave his competitors in his dust. The 9x PGA Tour winner has been the world’s No. 1 for over two years. As for Sarkisian, he’s also building his team to achieve a similar hype to the former Texas student.

Steve Sarkisian paves the way for a hot Texas draft in 2024

Under the guidance of Steve Sarkisian, the Texas Longhorns football team is on the rise. The upcoming NFL draft could see not just one but two players being picked as first-round prospects. This potential milestone is a clear indication of the team’s progress and the bright future that lies ahead. In last year’s draft, five players from Texas were drafted into the NFL, with RB Bijan Robinson as a first-round pick. 

During a recent interview, Sarkisian expressed his satisfaction with the recognition of the team’s development. At the NFL Combine, Texas sent a school-record of 11 players to Indianapolis. Among them, DT Byron Murphy II and WR Xavier Worthy stood out, making them potential first-round picks in the upcoming NFL Draft. This recognition is a testament to the team’s hard work and Sarkisian’s effective leadership, reassuring fans of the team’s upward trajectory.
