Oldest Living UT Football Player Featured on LHN
Here at the Texas Exes, we have a huge soft spot for John Henderson, BS ’36, the oldest living Longhorn gridiron legend.
It’s not just because he’s 98 years old. It’s not just because he was a genuine leatherhead. It’s not just because he lives at Longhorn Village (the Exes-affilited retirement community).
It’s really just because John and his wife, Charlotte, BS ’37, are absolutely delightful folks. The sight of the Hendersons meeting Mack and Sally Brown a few months back would warm the heart of any Longhorn fan.
The sharp minds over at the Longhorn Network saw the appeal of John and Charlotte still taking a charter bus to every home game, too, so they did a little feature video on him. It’s definitely worth a watch. Can’t see it above? Check it out here.

Hook EM John. We still brag about you in Baytown.
Nice video on a TRUE Burnt Orange Longhorn Player & now Ex-Student Life Member of The University of TEXAS at Austin, John Henderson and Wife. Hook’em my friend.
John, you and Charlotte look good. Looks like you all are having fun. Hook ‘em.

I began regularly attending Longhorn games in the ’63 Championship season and I thought I had something to brag about. John Henderson is inspirational. I’ve got a long way to go. Hook ‘em John and Charlotte!!
