University Big 3's Greatest

[HookemTexas]

I read some random article on Auburn during one of my can't sleep scrolling sessions, can't remember where but that's not relevant.

It said they have one of the best big 3 greatest player representations - Football - Bo Jackson, Baseball - Frank Thomas, Basketball - Charles Barkley.

Being the homer I am, I was thinking Texas has just as good if not better and comparatively would be interested in how that fares against other universities.  My list for Texas would be:  Football - Earl Campbell, Baseball - Roger Clemens, Basketball - Kevin Durant

Read up on Bobby Layne along time ago, interesting guy on and off the field.  He won 3 Championships in NFL.  Long time ago but might be our best "Pro" ever.

Hard to beat Clemens and Durant.

Has to be:

Football: Earl Campbell, Top 75 player according to many publications in NFL history and he's our first Heisman winner. Honorable mention are Nobis and Layne.
Basketball: Kevin Durant and it's not even close
Baseball: Roger Clemens and it's not even close

Contrarian: Depending on the criteria, you could go with Tom Landry for football. Baseball and basketball seem pretty set.
