Former Texas lineman Bob McKay earns College Football Hall of Fame nod

Texas can add another Hall of Famer to its historic résumé.

The National Football Foundation announced former Longhorns offensive tackle Bob McKay as a member of its 2017 College Football Hall of Fame class Monday. He is the 18th Longhorn to earn a Hall of Fame nod.

McKay played a key role for legendary coach Darrell K Royal in the late 1960s. He earned All-American honors while paving the way for Texas' wishbone offense. He also helped the program to its first national title in 1969, finishing with a 20–1–1 record in his final two years on campus.
