Texas Kicker Shows Off Gloriously Ridiculous Hair In Roster Photo

Meet Nick Rose.

He’s a junior placekicker on the University of Texas football team entering his third season as the Longhorns’ primary kickoff specialist. But that’s not why we’re talking about him.

We’re talking about Rose because of this photo, which was tweeted late Monday night by USA Today’s Paul Myerberg and quickly made its way around the sports blogosphere.

That’s a strong headshot, to say the least, and one that gets even better when given the inevitable Lance Stephenson treatment.
