Two decades ago, Vince Young powered the Texas Longhorns’ long-awaited resurgence and became one of the biggest stars college football had ever seen. In many ways, Texas is still chasing the high that Young brought to Austin, with superstar quarterback after superstar quarterback trying and failing to carry the Longhorns back to the mountaintop. So with Texas entering the 2026 regular season sitting third in the country with +650 odds on DraftKings Sportsbook to win the College Football Playoff, there might not be any better time to revisit Young’s legacy on and off the field.
Netflix is filling that void with Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young, a new documentary that dives deep into Young’s rise and fall. Here is everything you need to know before the latest starts streaming:
