Upon Senate confirmation, UTA alumnus to become first black 4-star Marine general

Harold Perkins, Langley's track coach at UTA remembers him as a hard worker and outstanding teammate.

“He never missed a workout,” Perkins said. “You could count on him. He wasn’t a star, but he was the kind of person you want on your team.” Macks Dillon, a teammate of Langley's and a roommate at UTA speaks highly of his former roommate and feels he's fit for the job. “Mike Langley was a step above everybody,” Dillon said. “Nobody worked harder than him, and anything you could do, he was going to do better. That’s the person you want in charge.”
