93 Days Until Kickoff: Who's Your Favorite No. 93? (it's a loaded one!)

[Blake Munroe]

We continue our countdown of the best Texas Longhorns to wear each jersey number, and today’s number is a lot stronger than some might realize.

At No. 93, the clear headliner is T’Vondre Sweat.

Sweat put together one of the greatest seasons by a defensive tackle in Texas history in 2023, winning the Outland Trophy, earning unanimous All-American honors and being named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. He played in 62 career games with 18 starts and finished his Texas career with 127 tackles, 17.5 tackles for loss, 5 sacks and 13 pass breakups.

Behind Sweat is Eric Holle, a key part of that loaded 1983 Texas defense. Holle was an All-Southwest Conference selection in 1983, helped Texas finish 11-1 and was later drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in the fifth round of the 1984 NFL Draft.

Steve Llewellyn comes in next after a productive career in the mid-to-late 1980s. Llewellyn finished with 178 career tackles, 6.5 sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. His best seasons included 64 tackles in 1986, 52 in 1985 and 49 in 1987.

And, of course, we have current No. 93, defensive tackle Hero Kanu.

Who was the best No. 93 in your opinion and who is your favorite?

Stonie Clark wore No. 93 before changing to No. 55.

Recensy bias, Sweat.  Also like Stonie Clark as well.

[Jeff Howe]

Friend of OTF Stevie Lee also wore No. 93.

T-Sweat. Might be in the minority but he was the best player on the 23 team.
