The Texas Longhorns family just got a little bigger—both on and off the field. Head coach Steve Sarkisian and his wife, Loreal Sarkisian, announced the arrival of their newborn son via social media, sparking celebrations among fans and the college football community.

A Joyful Announcement

Loreal shared the news on Instagram with a heartwarming post:

"He's arrived, and our hearts are so full of love and gratitude." Steve, known for his strategic prowess on the gridiron, responded with three blue hearts—a simple yet touching acknowledgment of the newest addition to their family.

Sarkisian’s Football Legacy Grows

This marks the couple’s first child together, though Steve is already a proud father of three: two daughters and a son, Brady Sarkisian. Brady, a walk-on linebacker for the Longhorns in 2023, made his debut during the 2024 season in Texas’ victory over UTSA Roadrunners. With football already in the family’s DNA, could the newest Sarkisian be a future Longhorn? Only time will tell.

Stability in Austin

Steve’s growing family aligns with his long-term commitment to the Texas football program. In January, he agreed to a contract extension through 2031, later approved by the university’s board in February. The deal solidifies his role in leading the Longhorns into the SEC era and beyond.

Fan Reactions and Future Expectations

Fans flooded social media with congratulations, many joking about the baby’s potential 40-yard dash time or whether he’ll inherit his father’s play-calling genius. While it’s too early to speculate, the Sarkisian family’s connection to Texas football is undeniably strengthening.

For now, the focus is on celebration—but in Austin, even newborns come with a side of football fever. Hook ’em!
