With ongoing discussions regarding the Mount Rushmore of Texas football, the staff weighed in on their own versions.
It seems that every media outlet, social media account, or on-air personalities have attempted to put together their own “Mount Rushmore” of a certain topic. There are no shortages of notable names for the Texas football program, so we’re going to jump on board and give it a shot. From legendary coaches to players on the field, there is quite a pool of talent to choose from.
It is difficult to put together a top four list that doesn’t involve Coach Royal. The stadium is named after him and he brought the Longhorns three National Championships and 11 conference titles in his 20-year run as head coach. The Longhorns were just 1-9 the season the season before Royal’s hire and went 6-4-1 in that first year including an invite to the Sugar Bowl. Overall he finished his coaching record with the Longhorns at 167-45-5 which included two undefeated seasons.
When people think of Texas, many remember the play in the Rose Bowl on fourth down. Vince Young willed a team that many felt would fall to USC en route to their third-straight National Championship. The highest rated recruit ever at the University of Texas provided many memories, including a National Championship that immortalized Young at Texas.
The Texas Longhorns hadn’t won a National Title since 1970, when Mack Brown came to town it changed a lot for the Longhorns. During his tenure, Mack led the Longhorns to nine-straight seasons with double digit wins. Two National Championship appearances and one championship. While at Texas, Mack won 158 games putting him just nine short of Royal’s mark.
It would be an incomplete Mount Rushmore without Earl Campbell. The Tyler Rose won the Heisman Trophy in 1977 when he rushed for 1,744 yards and 18 touchdowns. It was the first time a Longhorn had won the trophy. Overall, Campbell finished with 4,443 yards and 40 touchdowns. His rushing yards total was the best in school history until Ricky Williams came along. Still the 3rd highest in school history behind Williams and the late Cedric Benson.
2021 CB Jamier Johnson has cut his school list down to seven, with Texas making the cut. Johnson is ranked the 19th CB in the country.
2021 cornerback Jamier Johnson has cut his school list down to seven, with the Longhorns making the cut. At the moment, 247’s crystal ball has no predictions for where the defensive back will end up.
The Longhorns have been hot on the recruiting trail for cornerbacks in 2021, offering 17 prospects. Four of them have come from the state of California, trying to get some talent from the Los Angeles area.
Tom Hermans’ 2020 recruiting class was dominated by kids from the state of Texas and he may be looking for a couple more out of state kids in 2021. No better place to look than California, especially for a cornerback.

As the Texas Longhorns look to replace the commitment they lost when Lake McRee announced he was opening up his recruiting, they turned to Landen King. His crystal ball currently has the Longhorns as the favorites to earn his commitment for the 2021 class.

Another in-state player will be choosing between Texas and Texas A&M, as Jordan Thomas has announced the two rivals as his final two.
Since Texas A&M left for the SEC after the 2011 season, recruiting in the state of Texas has become how the rivalry has stayed alive. The Longhorns won the battle in 2020, signing five of the top 30 players from the state and 18 players overall.
Now, another in-state player will be choosing between Texas and Texas A&M, as Jordan Thomas has announced the two rivals as his final two choices.
The four-star defensive end from Port Arthur had offers from other Texas schools such as Baylor, Houston, TCU, and SMU, while LSU and Southern Miss were also interested. Coming in at 6-3 240 pounds, Thomas is the 15th best wide defensive end in the 2021 class.
Allah blessed me to announce my top two đź’Ż @samspiegs @Perroni247 @MikeRoach247 @justinwells2424 @CoachTomHerman @OscarGiles95 @Coach_TPrice pic.twitter.com/SxE2qoTuyL

If Thomas were to pick Texas, he would be the second defensive prospect in the 2021 class, joining outside linebacker Derrick Harris Jr.
Not only would this commitment mean the Longhorns are picking up a great defensive end, but it would be another win over the Aggies on the recruiting trail. Dominating the state of Texas has become the new standard for Tom Herman and securing Thomas further confirms the Longhorns win in-state battles.

The Georgia Bulldogs and Oklahoma Sooners are competing for a commitment from four-star cornerback Latrell McCutchin.
The Georgia Bulldogs and Oklahoma Sooners are battling yet again. Unfortunately, this time it is not in the Rose Bowl. Instead, it is for a commitment from four-star cornerback Latrell McCutchin.
McCutchin is a member of the class of 2021. He plays high school football at LBJ Early College High School in Austin, Texas.
The four-star released his top schools via Twitter:

McCutchin puts UGA, Oklahoma, Florida, USC, Ohio State, Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, FSU, and Virginia Tech. In a somewhat surprising move, the Austin CB did not put the Texas Longhorns in his top ten.
Where will McCutchin go next? The 6-1, 175 pound prospect is favored to go to Oklahoma.
Can Kirby Smart and UGA recruit another elite corner from Texas? The Dawgs currently have four 2021 commitments and are looking for more. It is currently a dead period for NCAA recruiting.
