The Texas Longhorns were named among ESPN’s top five running back producing schools.
Behind only Alabama, Wisconsin, LSU and Miami, Inside Texas surmises Texas’ rankings like this: “Like Miami, Texas too has tons of history at the running back position dating back many decades. Ricky Williams’ school record 2,124-yard season in 1998 makes the cut for ESPN’s metrics, but unfortunately none of Earl Campbell’s impressive seasons from the 1970s do. The Longhorns have a strong history of backs being successful in college and in the NFL, boasting names like Jamal Charles and Cedric Benson.
