Kevin Durant arrived at the University of Texas and accomplished things no other freshman has ever done in the sport of college basketball. After taking home Big 12 Player of the Year honors, Durant became the first freshman to ever win the National College Player of the Year award after averaging 25.8 points and 11.1 rebounds per game. Durant went on to win the MVP award in the NBA in 2014 and is a four-time NBA scoring champion. His No. 35 was retired by the University of Texas.
On the front left tail is a “NIKE ELITE” size “56” manufacturer’s tag . Inside below the rear collar is a Nike “TEAM” logo in white. On the v-neck is the Texas Longhorns logo in burnt orange stitching in grey tackle twill with a grey-stitched border. Across the chest reads, “TEXAS” and the player number “35” appears on both the front and on the back. These are done in burnt orange twill with white tackle twill trim stitched on. Across the back reads the player name “DURANT” in burnt orange tackle twill sewn directly onto the white mesh jersey. Durant boldly signed the jersey on the front above the school name in black marker, with Durant’s autograph rating a solid “8-9” overall. This jersey was sourced direct from a prominent UT booster who acquired the jersey directly from Durant after his freshman season. Given Durant’s stellar season and a potential NBA ring on the horizon, now is a great opportunity to acquire this incredibly rare and coveted college gamer!
