88 days until Texas Football, so today’s countdown looks at the best Longhorns to ever wear No. 88.

Cotton Speyrer has an easy argument for No. 1. He was a two-time All-American, helped Texas win back-to-back national titles in 1969 and 1970, and had one of the great Cotton Bowl performances in program history with 161 yards and two touchdowns against Notre Dame.

Cedric Reed had a strong career at defensive end with 201 tackles, 37 tackles for loss, 18 sacks and two All-Big 12 selections.

Of course more recently, Barryn Sorrell was a multi-year starter and consistent edge presence, including honorable mention All-Big 12 honors in 2022 and 2023.

We have a pair of current No. 88's in tight end Charlie Jilek and DL Maraad Watson.

Who is your favorite? Who was the top dog to ever wear it?
