The Texas Longhorns have their fair share of celebrity alums, with Matthew McConaughey in his "Minister of Culture" role arguably the most notable.

However, not only has the 40 Acres produced its fair share of notable celebrities but the Longhorns boast dozens of well-known professional athletes - including a pair of Masters winners in Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler. 

Next month another Longhorn will join the professional ranks when the NFL draft commences, with star running back Bijan Robinson set to become Texas' first first-round pick since 2015.

On Sunday, though, Robinson was spotted attending WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play at the Austin Country Club, where he took a picture with another notable Longhorn. 

Also attending the tournament was quarterback Arch Manning, who took the college football world by storm last June when he announced that he was committing to Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns. 

Robinson and Manning were in attendance to support Scheffler, who ultimately on came up short on Sunday against Sam Burns - who would go on to beat Cam Young to win. 

Scheffler and Robinson had a special moment on Saturday as well as the two Longhorn legends caught up briefly.

It will be a busy month of April for the trio of Longhorns, with Robinson set to experience the NFL draft, Scheffler defending his Masters title while Manning will participate in the Orange-White spring game.
