Why Texas didn’t have a player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft

An ignominious year for Texas Longhorns football that included a 5-7 season, multiple blown double-digit leads, and a loss to the Kansas Jayhawks officially concluded on Saturday when Texas failed to have a player selected in the 2022 NFL Draft for only the fourth time in league history.

Here’s the complete list — 1936, 1937, 2014, and 2022.

Texas was one of 10 Power Five programs not to have a player drafted, including Northwestern and Vanderbilt, while Northern Iowa, Chattanooga, North Dakota State, South Alabama, South Dakota State, Fayetteville State, Sam Houston, Samford, Southern Utah, Villanova, Fordham, Youngstown State, Ouachita Baptist, Northwest Missouri State, Southern, Lenoir-Rhyne, Yale, and Valdosta State all had players taken in the seven rounds and 262 picks.
