And focusing on the players on the top 100 players from Texas. That's backwards. Looking at the players from Texas high schools on the Top 100 national list. (There were no Oklahoma hs players on the Top 100.)

Lots of disappointment on draft day at the end of most of the careers.

There were 13 on the list.

National Rank ... Name
26 TOTAL 5 Stars
10. Malcolm Brown Longhorn. Not drafted.
12 . Trey Metoyer Sooner via juco sort of. Embarassment
14. Brandon Williams OU then trans to A&M Fifth year senior. Supplemental back. five td's. Less than 1000 combined career yards from scrimmage.

74 TOTAL 4 Stars in the TOP 100
31. Steve Edmond Longhorn Fifth year senior. Front seven defender with some highlights but mostly injuries.
49. Quandre Diggs Longhorn Sixth round draft pick DB
52. Jace Amaro Red Raider Great tight end. 49th player picked 2014 draft
61. Aaron Green Neb trans to TCU Back up running back, but might live up to potential. After Frank Catalon got hurt, had four 100 yard rushing games. Three were Kansas, Iowa State and Tech. But his best game was KState 18 for 171 and a score. He also had 114 yards from scrimmage against a really good Ole Miss defense in the Peach Bowl and had two touchdowns. Might end up the best of this year from Texas.
62. Jaxon Shipley Longhorn Not drafted. Free agent to Cardinals.
73. Herschell Sims OSU expelled. Lamar. Abilene Christian. Not drafted. Not even very good.
86. J.W. Walsh OSU Solid college quarterback. Likely not a senior starter.
95. Desmond Jackson Longhorn Becoming a quality player when injured in 2014 game 3. Lost the rest of the year and spring ball. Foot injury. Has a chance to be good if he heals.
100. Charles Jackson Nebraska Good backup mostly but hurt in 2014. Will be fifth year senior. Most stats are tackles on special teams.


BTW, every Longhorn player on the list played in either the UA or Army AA All Star game.
