Texas Football: 10 best running backs all-time for the Longhorns

8. Bijan Robinson (2020-Present)

The newest addition to this list is also a running back for the Longhorns that could crack the top five easily by the time his collegiate career wraps up. Superstar junior Texas running back Bijan Robinson has made this list after spending just two years in college.

In the last two seasons, Bijan has already registered more than 2,300 total yards from scrimmage and 21 total touchdowns. Of that, 1,830 of those yards are rushing and 15 of the touchdowns came on the ground.

Moreover, the sky really is the limit for Bijan after his 2021 campaign was cut short due to a season-ending upper-body injury. Bijan is already one of the odds-on favorites for the Heisman Trophy this year among running backs and could be in line to have one of the best seasons in program history for a player at his position.

7. Steve Worster (1968-1970)

Texas really had a timeless line of running back talent to boast in the 1960s and early 1970s under Royal’s direction. One name that you have to mention when looking back at some of the best running backs of this time period for the Longhorns is the two-time Consensus All-American Steve Worster.

Worster was a big-time threat for Royal and the Longhorns in the early days of the wishbone offense on the Forty Acres. As one of the mainstays in this wishbone offense on the ground in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Worster registered more than 2,300 career rushing yards, and a whopping three-dozen rushing touchdowns.

That resulted in Worster helping Royal and the Longhorns win two national titles in his three years playing for the program, along with finishing fourth in the Heisman voting in 1970.
