83 Days Away: Who Is The Best No. 83?

[Blake Munroe]

83 Days Until Texas Football!

Mike Adams headlines today's countdown as the greatest Longhorn to wear No. 83. The Texas Hall of Honor wide receiver finished his career with 177 receptions for 3,032 yards and 16 touchdowns, leaving Austin as the school's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and all-purpose yards.

Joining Adams is Deryl Comer, a First-Team All-Southwest Conference selection who played a key role on Texas' 1969 national championship team and later went on to the NFL.

Representing the current roster is junior tight end Spencer Shannon. The 6-foot-7, 266-pound veteran enters the 2026 season as one of the experienced pieces in Texas' tight end room.

83 reminds me of the days that Kai Money was a starting WR, no disrespect to Kai but those days are long gone.

Comer suffered a major injury at the end of the 68 season and didn’t play a down in 69. His replacement at TE in 69? Randy Peschel. 
 

Great player though.

This makes no reference to him starting.
