Well, you can find out during the Colorado State game weekend. The Texas One Fund is offering a “5-Star Weekend” to 40 lucky Longhorn fans who contribute to the official NIL collective of the Texas Longhorns.
The Texas One Fund is also involving two-time All-American quarterback and Longhorn legend Colt McCoy in the weekend.
Information in a pitch deck provided by the Texas One Fund to Inside Texas says the weekend will give exclusive, VIP access to campus and athletic department facilities, just like a recruiting visit. It will also provide participants a chance to meet Sarkisian and members of his coaching staff.
McCoy will function as a “host” for the visitors, and will break down some of his Longhorn career’s top moments in a dinner in downtown Austin.
The experience ramps up as Texas prepares for its season opener against the Colorado State Rams. Participants will join the team during their regular walk through Bevo Blvd. and enter Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium with the Horns. They will then watch pregame warmups from the field, just as recruits do right in front of Bevo XV himself during their visits.
Participants will then watch the game from the south end zone. With Texas a 35.5-point favorite, the postgame party put on by the event inside DKR will likely be a celebratory one.
The weekend concludes with a breakfast with the team, a photoshoot with Texas uniforms and helmets in the locker room and on the field, a presentation from the program about the benefits of the University of Texas from an athletic and academic perspective, plus insights from players themselves. The event will conclude with a presentation from Sarkisian himself, described as “gaining insight into what it means to be a Longhorn.”

All proceeds from the event will go to the Texas One Fund, and the Longhorns hope some of the donations earned from the “5-star weekend” translates into supporting future five-star prospects who suit up for the Horns.
