The Texas Longhorns are one of the first schools many think of when it comes to college football. Their rich history and storied tradition lead to a strong love and passion for the university. Over the years they have consistently produced talent for NFL rosters and even gave the Dallas Cowboys their best coach of all time, the legendary Tom Landry.
As of late, however, success has evaded them as a whole. 2010 was the last time they finished the season ranked in the top 10. The talent has always been there but they simply have struggled to string together wins and have been unable to maintain status as one of the best programs in the country. This season, they have started out 5-3 with an extremely young roster so their future is incredibly bright. Most of the talent isn’t yet draft eligible, but some are. Here are five names propelling this program and how they could fit with the Cowboys.
