No

 Kiki was on the DL

"In his time at Texas from 1979-1982, he earned All-Southwest Conference and was the Southwest Conference Defensive Lineman of the Year in 1982."

I can almost swear Allert was a DL too but seems he was listed as a LB.  I recall seeing him as a DE as well.

DJ was 6'3" and weighed245.

Nobis was 6'2" and weighed 240.

Nobis still holds the IT record for interceptions...that's UT...and is Third on the UT altime list overall.

.where is DJ?

DJ is #3 on UT career tackles, #1 UT's career TFL, #1 UT's PBU for LB, #1 UT's INT for LB, #3 UT's forced fumbles

Every time I see this thread title, I think of "Guys. It's a game. A bunch of kids with a ball." which always makes me very happy.

Kinda like sitting around the family dinner table, isn't it? My family is mostly gone, so maybe that's why I love this board. ?

You know… speaking of college linebackers…. bringing it back to the Horns…. I was thinking about this the other day.  LB hasn’t been the most stellar position at Texas during my fandom - going back to the 70s.   Sure there have been some really good ones, but not comparable to many of the other positions.

That said… I put D. Johnson as the best Texas linebacker I’ve ever seen.   And…. I’m going to say this and then take cover… I honestly think Ford sits at #2.  B. Hager was very good… I maybe could be talked into him as second on my list.   But I rank Ford slightly ahead.  Am I forgetting anyone?  

Roderick Muckleroy and Keenan Robinson were both pretty good.  Maybe not AA but certainly All Conference types.  That’s two recent ones

Here's an interesting video on Tommy Nobis:

That was fantastic!  Thank you.

Not LBS but yesterday vs today. A lot of yesterday's players could play today  ot sure about visa versa.

Bradshaw, Merdith Starr could start today, most of todays QBS would not last a quarter back when.

As for as Noblis and Johnson Noblis went both ways while Johnson rested on offense plays.

Rumor has it that ironically, Bosworth lives in Austin.

That is ironic if true!
