There is a plethora of talent around the college football world, and with some games kicking off as soon as this week, ESPN ranked the top 100 players in college football for this season.
The talent across the country is so deep that only two Longhorns were apart of the rankings, even what with could be the one of the most talented Texas teams we have seen in over a decade.
Now whether these two players were properly rated, underrated, or even overrated is all objective. However, the two Longhorns that made the list have consistently been viewed as the team’s two best players.
They were both extremely productive, with one of them being a star on the defensive side of the ball, that after a position change truly showed how much of a playmaker he could be. Under new defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski, his numbers are expected to be even higher.
On the opposite side of the ball, this star running back is not only one of Texas’ best players, but one of the top players in the nation. He was limited by last year’s staff, but is expected to explode onto the scene under Steve Sarkisian.
Let’s take a look at who, and where, these two Texas players ranked on ESPN’s top 100.
