Texas has firmly, but quietly become college football's ultimate NFL pipeline

Though Texas has always been a consistent source of professional football talent, an incredibly interesting stat recently popped up regarding just how successful the Longhorns' NFL pipeline truly is.

Over the past three years, Texas has been as good as anyone at producing high-level football talent, officially being tied for the national lead with 29 NFL Draft selections since 2024.

Longhorns fans are obviously more "in the know" and aware of the number of players who head to the league every season, but if you're not a fan of the program, that's a mind-blowing stat.

List of Texas players drafted since 2024

LB Anthony Hill Jr. - Tennessee Titans
CB Malik Muhammad - Chicago Bears
DE Trey Moore - Miami Dolphins
S Michael Taaffe - Miami Dolphins
OG D.J. Campbell - Miami Dolphins
TE Jack Endries - Cincinnati Bengals
OT Kelvin Banks Jr. - New Orleans Saints
CB Jahdae Barron - Denver Broncos
WR Matthew Golden - Green Bay Packers
DT Alfred Collins - San Francisco 49ers
S Andrew Mukuba - Philadelphia Eagles
DT Vernon Broughton - New Orleans Saints
TE Gunnar Helm - Tennessee Titans
DE Barryn Sorrell - Green Bay Packers
RB Jaydon Blue - Dallas Cowboys
OT Cameron Williams - Philadelphia Eagles
OG Hayden Conner - Arizona Cardinals
QB Quinn Ewers - Miami Dolphins
DT Byron Murphy II - Seattle Seahawks
WR Xavier Worthy - Kansas City Chiefs
DT T'Vondre Sweat - Tennessee Titans
RB Jonathan Brooks - Carolina Panthers
WR Adonai Mitchell - Indianapolis Colts
TE Ja'Tavion Sanders - Carolina Panthers
OT Christian Jones - Arizona Cardinals
RB Keilan Robinson - Jacksonville Jaguars
LB Jaylan Ford - New Orleans Saints
CB Ryan Watts - Pittsburgh Steelers
WR Jordan Whittington - Los Angeles Rams

That's a crazy amount of players, and next year's class could allow them to run away with the lead as five members of the team are projected to be 1st-rounders alone in the 2027 NFL Draft.
