Gotta give a shout out to Jerry Sizemore. One of the best OL Texas has had. 

He's on the Texas offensive line Mount Rushmore. For me, it's:

— Jerry Sizemore

— Bob McKay

— Justin Blalock

— Kelvin Banks Jr.

 

Have to find room for Terry Tausch too. 

Those are all very good picks for #76. I’ve been fortunate enough to have seen all of them play.

For me, Tausch, Blalock and Dan Neil are among those under consideration for the fourth spot. The other three, IMO, are no-brainers.

Leonard Davis and Mike Williams deserve some mentions here IMO. Historically underrated bc they didn’t play on great teams and didn’t start every year.

I think Trevor Goosby might be in that category, too. 

Doug Dawson would be in my top 10.

Davis and Williams were consensus All-American players. The original run of Texas valuing big humans on the offensive line.

I saw them all too.  At one time I thought Dan Neil was the best I had seen, but later I thought it was Blalock.  I keep hoping for another Blalock.

Without regard to the number on his back or the fact that we remember him as a MLB, in the 1960s the best OL I saw, live, at Texas was Nobis.  In fact, I thought he would be an OG in the NFL.

Dan Neil is top on my list for sure! Love me some Studdard, Brockermeyer, Davis, Williams and Tony Hills are in the top 10!

Go wish CJV a Happy Birthday - it will make you feel better.

As a college player, being compared to the players of his day, I'm not sure Bobby Wuensch wasn't the best of them all.  Key block here by #50 Wuensch on the game winning TD late in the Cotton Bowl to win the 1969 national championship.
