Omission of Julius Whittier
I was surprised to see no mention of Julius Whittier, the first African-American football letterman at the University of Texas, who joined the team in 1970. At the same time, I don't see a straightforward way to add a mention because these articles about each year's team only seem to mention starters. (Whittier is currently not mentioned at all in the article about the 1971 team either, and is only listed on the starting roster in the article about the 1972 team.) While his accomplishments as an athlete are noteworthy, his historic importance helping accomplish the long-overdue integration of the University of Texas Football team is seminal and should be mentioned in connection with this article about the 1970 team. I will come back to this and add something in the near future unless someone else beats me to it, but meanwhile I would appreciate any comments pertaining to the best way of doing so. (E.g., perhaps there should be a section in each article about noteworthy players.) A.T.S. in Texas (talk) 19:47, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
