29 Days Until Kickoff: Who Is Your Favorite No. 29?

[Blake Munroe]

We’re officially 29 days away from Texas football, so today’s countdown spotlights a couple of Longhorns who have worn No. 29.

From 1990-93, Phil Brown rushed for 2,102 career yards and 16 touchdowns, while also adding 72 receptions for 686 yards. He finished his Texas career with 2,788 yards from scrimmage and was part of the 1990 Southwest Conference championship team. His best season came in 1993, when he posted 770 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.

Then there’s current Texas DB Graceson Littleton, who made an immediate impact as a true freshman in 2025. Littleton played in all 13 games with eight starts, recording 46 tackles, 4.0 tackles for loss, two interceptions, six passes defended and two forced fumbles. He also earned 247Sports True Freshman All-American honors.

Just 29 more days.

Ryan Palmer - CB (No. 29 from 2005–06)

Josh Thompson - DB (No. 29 during 2017–19)
