Forgot to post this earlier today! My bad yall. 

Don Talbert was a 1961 All-American, All-SWC selection, team co-captain and later a Longhorn Hall of Honor inductee. Texas went 26-6-1 during his career with one SWC title, one SWC co-title and a No. 3 finish in his senior season.

Ed Cunningham played offensive line at Texas from 1985-89 and earned All-America honors in 1989. He was one of the top linemen on the roster by the end of the decade.

Will Allen was a key piece of the 2005 national championship team. The 6-foot-6, 315-pound guard started 32 games during his Texas career and earned third-team All-America honors in 2005.

Roger Roesler was a standout offensive guard for Texas in the late 1990s. He earned All-American recognition in 1999 and was also a First-Team All-Big 12 selection that season.

Mason Walters started 38 straight games at right guard and played in 39 career games for the Longhorns. He earned All-Big 12 recognition and was named to the Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award watch lists.

Who is your favorite?

Don Talbert! Played at Texas then was #72 in Dallas. Was the inspiration for one of the characters in the movie North Dallas Forty. 

Diron Talbert, his brother was also very good player at Texas, not sure of his #. He was #72 with the Redskins...as he played mainly for Rams and Redskins.

 

Think they had another brother also play at Texas

Roger Roesler was underrated. As of a few years ago, he still held Round Rock High School's shot put record.

 

He was a stud 

I like them all but if I have to pick only one I'll go with the starting lineman of a national championship team, Will Allen.
