The Texas football program has a long and storied history of producing talent at the running back position. Texas has a valid argument that it has produced some of the best running back talent of any college football program in the sport’s history.
Throughout the program’s storied history, the Longhorns have produced two Heisman Trophy-winning running backs and a half-dozen rushers with at least one consensus All-American selection.
Texas running backs have found a lot of success in the NFL too. Longhorn running backs have a whopping 20 Pro Bowl selections, and 14 First-Team All-Pro nods in NFL history.
