Jenna McEachern

Jenna Hays McEachern grew up in the world of football. Her father was a successful Texas high school football coach, and both of her brothers were on the team. She has followed the Longhorns since she was nine years old.

Her latest book, "DKR: The Royal Scrapbook", published by University of Texas Press, was a collaboration with Edith Royal, wife of the UT coaching legend. It is an intimate look at the private life of two very public figures.

While pursuing her degree in photojournalism at The University of Texas, McEachern also majored in UT cheerleading. She worked for Jones Ramsey and Bill Little as an editor and go-fer in the Sports Information Department and was the editor for "One Heartbeat--A Philosophy of Teamwork, Life, and Leadership" and for "One Heartbeat II--The Road the National Championship," both written by Mack Brown and Bill Little.

Little and McEachern also collaborated on "What It Means to be a Longhorn", a collection of oral histories of some of Texas' greatest players. Her second effort, "100 Things Longhorns Should Know and Do Before They Die" was published by Triumph Books in 2008.

Jenna is married to former Longhorn quarterback Randy McEachern. They still live in Austin where they reared three near-flawless children--Bailey, Hays, and Lester Simmons.
