Texas to Add On-Field Sponsor to All Playing Surfaces

 On Monday, Texas Athletics announced that they secured a new sponsor in the local company, Humann. As part of this sponsorship agreement, Texas will be adding the cardiovascular health company’s logo to all playing surfaces.

Humann is an Austin-born company, specifically founded through the University of Texas Health Science Center research program. It has been helping to support cardiovascular health for Texas athletes for over a decade, according to the press release.

The company was founded in 2009 and has since been dedicated to helping people aged 18 to 85 maintain healthy cardiovascular systems, specifically through performance supplements. Healthy blood pressure, boost energy, endurance, and recovery are the main factors targeted by Humann in its attempt to support athletes in maintaining good health.

It is a trusted company and source, having sold over 27 million units and being founded by Dr. Ferid Murad, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in Medicine in 1998. Just over 10 years later, he began working with researchers at the University of Texas and ultimately founded Humann in 2009. A year later, the company went public.

Dr. Murad passed away a couple of years ago in 2023, but his dream for the company is ever-evolving. The company has helped the Longhorns in every sport with performance nutrition and cardiovascular health, leading to more than 20 national titles overall.

The Humann sponsorship and on-field logos will begin this fall, with the first appearance coming on Sept. 6, when the Texas Longhorns football team returns to Austin to face San Jose State after traveling to face Ohio State in Week 1.

Every sport, except for basketball, will implement the logo on its playing surface for the upcoming season. Texas basketball will place the Humann logo on the court in Moody Center for the 2026-2027 season.
