I read an article many, many years ago that was mainly about Butkus but several NFL players chimed in and said the hardest hitter in the NFL was Nobis and not Butkus. Truly a legend.

All great players but Nobis was Coach Royal's yard stick of perfection.

It’s also wild the range of narratives about him between recruiting sites 😆

Know this is not what the thread is about but in the Wishbone days. VY at QB, Earl at FB, Bijan and Charles at halfback. This thread brings to light haw many great RB we have had . Had some great ones way back in my day like Saxton and Gilbert. Chris Gilbert was a great college RB back in his day.

We’re 60 days away from Texas football and this is one of the strongest groups in the entire countdown. Tommy Nobis is clearly the headliner. National champion, Outland Trophy winner, Maxwell Award winner, two-time All-American, three-time First-Team All-SWC, No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick, College Football Hall of Famer and one of the few Longhorns to have his number retired. He’s not just the best No. 60… he’s one of the greatest players in Texas football history. But the rest of the group is stacked too. Johnny Treadwell was a unanimous All-American and one of Texas’ great two-way players. Britt Hager is still the program’s career tackles leader with 499. Jeff Leiding was a consensus All-American and leader of that nasty 1983 defense. Robin Sendlein was a team captain and forced-fumble machine. Brian Jones helped lead the 1990 SWC title team and had a huge season at linebacker. Nobis stands alone at the top, but No. 60 has a ridiculous amount of linebacker history behind it.

Earl and Ricky. Too bad we did not get Eric and Craig. They could have been the Longhorn Express.

Probably off of dis board.

That would be a crazy combo of speed especially catching the ball out of the backfield!!

Love the pick up. Hope they don’t get burned by the draft

Excellent portal addition 🤘🏻

Where do they have him going in the upcoming draft

Those Euro and Latam teams have way more sophisticated development than North America. We have far more options for elite athletes anyway.

Want to talk 1971 and 1972 Cotton Bowls?

FIFA. NCAA is only incompetent in the USA. FIFA is a worldwide joke lol.

The goal keeper is Burt auburn lol

The freshman schedule was only 5 games.

I was speaking on his projected starting outfield.

I doubt Jonah is involved with loyal recruiting for baseball right now. 🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Can’t depend on Jonah. Anything we get out of him is like finding money between the cushions.

Let's effin run it! Lol. Damn you land all those and you get the #2 class easy lol.

Check out his Twitter acct from tonight. Big man running routes , deep post etc. Unreal to see that athleticism.

No Jonah?

Not someone that would ever be mentioned on something like this because he was primarily a backup, but just want to give him a shoutout. Brett Valdez wore #66 on the 2005 national championship team. I grew up with him and thought it was pretty cool that he worked his way onto that team and can forever call himself a champion.

Hope he doesnt burn us in the draft like what unfortunately happened last year with Freeman and Moroknek, but seems like a great pickup if he makes it to campus
