Following practice, 2015 UT players and assistant coaches will be signing autographs in the Red McCombs Red Zone from 1:30-3:30 p.m. Fans will be provided with commemorative 18-by-24-inch posters (limit one per person) for the autographs; per NCAA rules, the sale of posters with student-athlete autographs is prohibited.

All autographs and activities are free and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Fans may access the Red McCombs Red Zone after the open practice, beginning at 12 p.m., through Gates 8, 14, 16 or 25.
Photos with second-year head coach Charlie Strong will be taken by Texas athletic department personnel, and fans will receive information on how to download the on-line photos free of charge.
