Truthfully. The one I latched onto is recent.

His story and perseverance and what he helped to create for the guys now is very remarkable

I didn't become a Longhorn fan until the fall of 1997. We sucked but I loved Ricky Williams.

Cedric Benson was someone I tracked when I was in JH.  Followed his career to Texas.

Same here, my first game was Route 66 but Rickey and then Major. I grew up in Baton Rouge, so I did grow up a die hard Lsu fan, but that changed the second I committed to Texas 🤘🏽

[Brian Richardson]

Eric Metcalf

[Dkress]

Quan Cosby

I was too young to appreciate Ricky, but that's when my fandom began. 

Loved Major - never looked like a college athlete, but dude was a gamer... which gave me hope haha

Roy Williams was the first guy that made me drop my jaw with some of his athletic catches. 

[Wabi Sabi]

For basketball... TJ Ford. 

Dude had incredible court vision. Loved the way he distributed the rock!
