Rubio Long Snapper Travis Arroyo Honored by the State of Texas

Yesterday, Rubio Long Snapper Travis Arroyo (2016, TX) was honored by the state of Texas at the state capitol in Austin. Yes, the entire state! You see the Texas government is so proud of Travis (many of you probably have heard me call him Goodman because he reminds me of John Goodman) that they created a resolution for him (please see below) highlighting his academic and athletic achievements. Yesterday, Goodman received an “Outstanding Young Texan Award” honoring him during the 84th Texas Legislature April 30, 2015. Texas State Capitol Austin, Texas

To say I am proud of Goodman would be an understatement. Congratulations to Goodman and his whole family.

Side note: FULL EMBRACE to Rubio Long Snapping and Chris Sailer Kicking also going down in the history books in Texas!!!!
