54 Days Until Kickoff: Who's your favorite No. 54?

[Blake Munroe]

We’re 54 days away from Texas football.

Today’s No. 54 group is led by Mike Baab, one of the best centers to come through Texas. Baab was a team captain, First-Team All-Southwest Conference, helped Texas go 10-1-1 and finish No. 2 nationally in 1981, then started in the Cotton Bowl win over Alabama. He went on to play 11 seasons in the NFL with Cleveland, New England and Kansas City.

Cole Hutson also belongs in the conversation after a really solid Texas career from 2022-25. He played in 48 games with 23 starts, started at both center and guard, and was part of the 2023 Joe Moore semifinalist unit and the 2024 Joe Moore finalist offensive line.

Justin Mader rounds it out as a multi-year deep snapper who played in 49 career games, earned Academic All-Big 12 honors three times and landed on the Patrick Mannelly Award watch list.

Hutson sliding to guard probably saved the season and arch’s life last year.

Baab all the way.
