“The World’s Strongest Man” from Silsbee, Texas, has made a big impact on the Texas Football program.

Henry often reaches out to football recruits trying to convince them to come to Texas and he’s linked up with Tom Herman, like The Undertaker.

Henry can also be spotted on the sidelines of the annual Texas vs. Oklahoma game in Dallas, sometimes with other WWE stars.

In the ring, Henry has often worn Texas-themed wrestling gear and he throws up the Hook ‘Em Horns signal on the way to the ring when WWE is in Austin.

As a heel (or wrestling bad guy), Henry has even mixed it up with famous OU backer Jim Ross. Indeed, the bond of the Texas vs. Oklahoma rivalry extends well beyond the Big 12 conference to the wrestling ring.
