<p>The Chad Powers actor added some star power to a recent University of Texas football team meeting when he surprised a walk-on player with a full scholarship.</p>
<p>"What's up Longhorns? It's Glen Powell, fellow Texas alum," the Twisters star, 36, said in a video shown to players and staff. "I have newfound respect for what it takes to join a football team. It takes grit. It takes grind. And most importantly, it takes heart. Marshall, your hard work has not gone unnoticed. That's why Texas is giving you a scholarship."</p>
<p>The camera in the room then panned to Marshall Landwehr, a fifth-year senior linebacker from Dallas, who slowly smiled and then was swarmed by his cheering teammates.</p>

<p>Later, Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian offered a few words to celebrate Landwehr's accomplishment.</p>
<p>"When we talk about everybody in this room has a role in the organization, this is the epitome of that, dude," Sarkisian said. "I couldn't be more fired up for you man. Congratulations!"</p>

<p>Landwehr, who went to Highland Park High School — the same school that world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford attended — then threw it back to his own teammates.</p>
<p>"Y'all are part of the biggest reason why I show up every day," Landwehr said. "Been doing this for five years, It doesn't get old, keep working. This is the dream, man."</p>
<p>The No. 1 ranked school in preseason polls, Texas is on the cusp of an exciting season, with the debut of Arch Manning as quarterback.</p>
