10. Collin Johnson (2016-2019)

A dominant big-bodied wideout that was a stud for Texas on the outside in the last decade was Collin Johnson. Texas had quite the duo among the top two wideouts on the two in the late 2010s between Johnson and Duvernay.

The former of those two wideouts was a consistent pass-catcher in terms of his production and matchup advantage in the last three seasons with Texas. The 6-foot-6 Johnson registered more than 2,300 receiving yards and 12 touchdown catches in his last three seasons on the Forty Acres.

Johnson also ranks fifth in program history in career receiving yards (2,624) and ninth in receiving touchdowns (15).

9. Mike Davis (2010-2013)

If we’re solely talking numbers, one of the most impressive wide receivers in program history for the Longhorns is the ultra-consistent Mike Davis. Texas got reliable production at the wide receiver position from Davis for four years throughout the early 2010s.

Davis is also another Texas wideout that is littered all over the leaderboards in terms of career receiving yards in this program’s history. He ranks fourth all-time in career receiving yards (2,753) and fifth in receiving touchdowns (18).

Moreover, Davis is one of a handful of Texas wideouts that had four seasons in college with at least 45 catches, 400 receiving yards, and one touchdown catch.

The reliability and overall productiveness of the 6-foot-2 and 195-pound Davis are the main reasons why he cracks this list of the top 10 wideouts in program history.
