[Blake Munroe]

Forgot to post this earlier today! My bad yall. 

Don Talbert was a 1961 All-American, All-SWC selection, team co-captain and later a Longhorn Hall of Honor inductee. Texas went 26-6-1 during his career with one SWC title, one SWC co-title and a No. 3 finish in his senior season.

Ed Cunningham played offensive line at Texas from 1985-89 and earned All-America honors in 1989. He was one of the top linemen on the roster by the end of the decade.

Will Allen was a key piece of the 2005 national championship team. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound guard started 32 games during his Texas career and earned third-team All-America honors in 2005.

Roger Roesler was a standout offensive guard for Texas in the late 1990s. He earned All-American recognition in 1999 and was also a First-Team All-Big 12 selection that season.

Mason Walters started 38 straight games at right guard and played in 39 career games for the Longhorns. He earned All-Big 12 recognition and was named to the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award watch lists.

Who is your favorite?

Diron Talbert, his brother was also very good player at Texas, not sure of his #. He was #72 with the Redskins...as he played mainly for Rams and Redskins.

 

Think they had another brother also play at Texas
