10 former Texas Longhorns fans should use in EA College Football 25 Ultimate Team

When EA Sports released its latest sneak preview of features included in the College Football 25 video game, fans and gamers learned that they will have access to current and former players from their team.

Over the past century of Texas Longhorns football, some of the greatest college football players of all time have passed through Darrell K Royal Memorial Stadium.

From Earl Campbell to Colt McCoy, Longhorn legends have shined brightly for Texas.

So, which Texas Exes will be the most utilized former players as fans dive deep into College Football 25?

Of course the beloved quarterback would be first up on this list.

Vince Young's historic run into the endzone at the 2005 Rose Bowl to secure the National Championship victory is engrained into Longhorn fans' hearts, souls, and minds.

Texas fans will use and abuse Young as their Ultimate Team quarterback.

A good throwback quarterback option is Bobby Layne who played for the Horns eight decades ago.

Layne was a consensus All-American in 1947 and a four-time All-Southwestern Conference selection.

The former Longhorn's jersey No. 22 is one of few retired by the Texas football program.

While Colt McCoy was devastatingly never able to lead the Longhorns to a national title, he was an elite quarterback while he was at Texas.

Throughout his collegiate career, McCoy had 122 total touchdowns and more than 13,253 passing yards. McCoy is undeniably a Longhorn legend.

Some of the greatest running backs of all time have donned a Texas Longhorns uniform. Earl Campbell reigns, to this day, as one of the greatest Longhorns ever.

In college, Campbell earned 4,443 rushing yards and 40 touchdowns on the ground.

His jersey No. 20 is retired by the Horns and he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990.

A two-time Doak Walker Award winner, a Walter Camp Award winner, a Maxwell Award winner, and a Heisman Trophy winner.

Ricky Williams was a legend for the Longhorns and went on to an incredible career in the NFL.

Williams had 7,580 all-purpose yards in college alongside 79 touchdowns. He broke 46 Texas program records over his four years with Horns.

One may notice that the era of Texas running back supremacy has lasted a while, and in fact, it has carried over into the 21st century.

Bijan Robinson rapidly became a beloved player for the Longhorns has he streaked up and down the field with ease.

Robinson had 3,410 rushing yards and 33 touchdowns on the ground for Texas over just three years.

Following in the footsteps of Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson joined the Texas Longhorns at the turn of the century and set the college football scene ablaze.

Over four years with the Horns, Benson earned 5,540 rushing yards and an astonishing 64 touchdowns. He also contributed 621 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns through the air.

Just one year after Benson left the Longhorn program for the NFL, legendary Jamaal Charles came to Austin and dominated for three years.

Charles scored 39 total touchdowns over three years and amassed 3,867 all-purpose yards.

Not to mention, Charles was kept busy in the offseason by track and field, winning the Big 12 Outdoor 100-meter dash championship in 2006 while being named a four-time All-American in the sport.

One last running back on the list, I promise, is Malcolm Brown who shined brightly for the Longhorns while Texas was struggling to find its footing.

Over four seasons with the Horns, Brown earned 2,678 yards and 24 touchdowns on the ground. Miraculously, while only averaging 7.5 yards per catch, he also scored 3 touchdowns through the air.

A consensus All-American and First-team All-Big 12 member, Earl Thomas was a demon on defense for the Texas Longhorns.

Before being selected 14th overall in the 2010 NFL Draft, Thomas had 135 total tackles, 10 interceptions (including 2 pick sixes), and 207 all-purpose yards for the Horns.
