    Mike Adams.
    Could be argued he belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of longhorn receivers. His flirtation with UH during his recruitment I’m sure is an interesting story.

    Corby Robertson.
    All-American linebacker on our 1967 team who did even better after graduation. Voted #9 on 247’s list of top ten all-time linebackers on the 40.

    Sorry, I’m trying to find out what happened to the pic.
    Can somebody give a brother a hand?

    ... miss the LHB ringing cowbells during the game. Whatever happened to that tradition? Casualty of some conference noise reducing BS?

    Wide receiver Lovell Pinkney.
    Along with Eric Metcalf one of the best players recruited from the D.C. area. At 6’5” 245 lbs. he was Collin Johnson before Collin Johnson was born.

    p.s.: I wish he had played against Rice in ‘94. Might have improved my evening.


    Also needed to make sure this person was mentioned:

    Yes, Eric Metcalf was from DC area. His father Terry was a RB for the St. Louis Cardinals & Redskins.

    I see. I looked it up, and he has an interesting background. Apparently, Metcalf was born in Seattle, coached HS FB and track in Seattle, coached track at UW in Seattle, and still lives in Seattle, though he went to HS in Virginia near Washington, DC. I guess you could say he's the rare double-Washington person (State and DC).

    "Terry Metcalf was only 16 when Eric was born. He’d met his girlfriend, Christina Jefferson, in high school in Seattle. They never married, but remained friends and shared in the raising of Eric, who moved across the country from an all-boys school in Seattle to Virginia, where his dad was finishing up his pro career with a one-year stint with the Washington Redskins."

    Scaife was a really good TE for us. I feel like he doesn't always get his due respect.
