We're 95 days away from Texas football, which means it's time to look at some of the best Longhorns to ever wear No. 95.

Marcus Tubbs (DT, 2000-03)

The oversized defensive tackle was one of the most dominant interior defenders of the Mack Brown era, earning First-Team All-Big 12 honors, serving as a team captain and eventually becoming a first-round NFL Draft pick. During his Texas career, Tubbs recorded 207 tackles, 41 tackles for loss, 15 sacks and five forced fumbles while helping anchor some of the best defenses of the early 2000s.

Poona Ford (DL, 2014-17)

Few players have been more respected by Longhorn fans over the past decade than Poona Ford.

Despite often being overlooked because of his size, Ford became one of the nation's most disruptive defensive linemen and was named the 2017 Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year. He started 30 games during his career and developed a reputation as one of the toughest players to wear burnt orange.

Oscar Giles (DE, 1987-90)

Before becoming a longtime Texas assistant coach, Giles made his mark as one of the program's top pass rushers.

A three-year starter, Giles earned AP All-SWC honors and helped Texas capture the 1990 Southwest Conference championship. He finished his career with 22 sacks, a total that still ranks among the best in school history.

 

Three different eras. Three outstanding defensive linemen. One great jersey number.

95 days until kickoff.

Who's your favorite?
