This is the second year in a row that the Ocean of Soul has been chosen to perform for a national sports league. In September of 2016, the band performed as a part of the Fox on NFL pregame show to kick off the season in Houston. The band also performed at Michael Strahan’s Hall of Fame induction in 2014, Strahan is a graduate of Texas Southern.
