38 Days Until Kickoff: Who Was The Best No. 38?

Our countdown to kickoff rolls on with No. 38, a jersey worn by a pair of standout Texas linebackers from different eras.

Glen Gaspard (1971–73) was one of the anchors of Darrell Royal’s defense, earning first-team All-Southwest Conference honors twice while leading Texas with 110 tackles in 1972. He helped the Longhorns capture three straight SWC championships, played in three consecutive Cotton Bowls, handled kicking duties early in his career, and was later selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the 1974 NFL Draft.

Roddrick Muckelroy (2006–09) became one of the leaders of Mack Brown’s defense, finishing with 291 career tackles, 24 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, two interceptions, and three forced fumbles. A two-time All-Big 12 selection, Muckelroy helped Texas reach the 2009 BCS National Championship Game and was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.
