1895-1896 

Student Manager - J.A. O'Keefe

Even with a segregated south, Doc Reeves managed to get a job at the UT athletic office that lasted from 1895 to 1915.    He was the ultimate pioneer for blacks in the history of Texas Sports. His hard work and the respect he earned eventually led to his position on the football team as water boy , assistant to the coaches, and equipment manager, and the name "Doc". His tools were a medicine , towel, and water bucket and he took care of the football players. He did everything in his power to heal the athletes and along the way became the bench mark for future managers and trainers.  In one publication he was called "the most famous character connected with the football in the University of Texas."  Once an school official released him but the student body protested, and Doc kept his job.  In 1915 Doc suffered a stroke and died 2 months later.  The student body paid for his hospital bills.
