HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — In this week’s episode of Q’D UP, the Harris County – Houston Sports Authority features Madison High School and UT legend Vince Young, who sat down for a one-on-one interview and explained how former coach Mack Brown’s decision to let him lead the Longhorns as a quarterback still resonates in football today.

“For Coach Brown to take a chance on me and have the opportunity to change the game not just for me but a lot of younger African American quarterbacks coming up in the game, just to hear [Texans quarterback] Deshaun Watson and those quarterbacks mention my name, the whole goal was to open up doors for everyone.”
