A Texas Longhorns Legend

Ricky Williams stands among the greatest and most beloved players in the storied history of Texas Longhorns football. In 1998, Williams became just the second Heisman Trophy winner in Texas history — joining the legendary Earl Campbell (1977) — capturing the award with what was then the highest percentage of first-place votes ever cast. Across his Longhorns career (1995-1998), Williams set 21 NCAA records and 46 University of Texas marks, and finished as the most prolific rusher in major college football history with 6,279 career rushing yards. His four-year dominance, powerful running style, and magnetic personality made him a fan favorite in Austin and a symbol of Longhorns football. Texas retired his #34 jersey in a pregame ceremony on September 30, 2000, and he was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame — permanent honors that cemented his place among the program's all-time legends.

The 1998 Heisman and the NCAA Rushing Record

Williams' 1998 senior season was one of the finest individual campaigns in college football history. He rushed for 2,124 yards and 27 touchdowns, swept the sport's major individual awards — the Heisman Trophy, the Maxwell Award, and the Walter Camp Player of the Year — and became the first-ever two-time winner of the Doak Walker Award as the nation's top running back. The defining moment came on November 27, 1998, against archrival Texas A&M: needing 62 yards to break Tony Dorsett's 22-year-old NCAA Division I-A career rushing record, Williams took a first-quarter handoff and broke through several tacklers for a 60-yard touchdown run that shattered the mark — with Dorsett himself waiting on the Texas sideline to personally congratulate him. Williams finished his career with 6,279 rushing yards, 75 total touchdowns, and a then-NCAA-record 6.21 career yards per carry, surpassing the mark held by Ohio State's two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin. Selected fifth overall in the 1999 NFL Draft, Williams went on to lead the NFL in rushing in 2002, but his legendary Texas tenure remains the foundation of his place in football history — the era this burnt orange jersey represents.
