Detroit

Just got back home to Detroit for the Fourth of July. Made me think—having the the Longhorns ever had a player from Detroit? I know we had a backup catcher from the University of Ligget (like 10 mins from my parents place) last year but I can’t think of anyone else.

Thanks! Michigan is interesting. Not a whole lot of high end talent and when there is UM gobbles it up. MSU gets the scraps.

I don't believe so 

Not in FB or hoops

Ovie is from Farmington Hills, which is a suburb.

Can’t think of one from Detroit proper off hand.

Martez Walker for men's hoops under Rick Barnes. He was only in the program for one season.

I was going to ask what part, but if University Liggett is close, I know where.

lol I didn’t go to Liggett so don’t hold that against me but it’s pretty close.
