Brian Jones is a good Longhorn, but he never earned the right to wear #60. 

I’m not sure Breckyn did either, but him wearing it for our Bowl was a nice tribute to Tommy Nobis’s recent passing, so I was okay with it.

Probably true, but I will say he was the most physically imposing LB I can remember to ever play at Texas...

Breckyn wore it for a reason, not a season. Or two.

Derrick Johnson?

Derrick would have been worthy.  He turned it down, if I recall correctly.

I don't recall that Derrick was ever offered to wear No. 60 full time.  He did wear it in his last home game against aggy, as shown in the photo above.

I consider Derrick to be the best UT LB in my lifetime but while at Texas he was fairly skinny. He was tall, about 6-3 but only 205 when he started and around 225 or so when he finished.

Jones was 6-1 but 250lbs of muscle and with the huge shoulder pads they wore during that era he was the most physically imposing imo...

Negative.  The answer for most physically imposing linebacker in UT history is Scott Derry.

If anything, it was hinted that he should wear 60, he didnt want to.

Lmao, he was all time favorite whipping boy. Can still see him mugging the line and getting swept away in the wash not unlike my tears were that night against Rice in 1994

Going for the double punch in the balls with a Scott Derry and Rice loss combo.  Nice.  Very nice.

Discuss amongst yourselves.

I'm not going to fault Dusty Renfro for not turning down the chance to wear the number of a Longhorn legend, but there are other linebackers who played at Texas for four years at a much higher level who never got the opportunity to wear No. 60.  DD Lewis, Roderick Muckleroy, and Keenon Robinson come to mind.

Renfro was not as physically gifted as some of the others, but he always gave 100%. I think he earned the right to wear it for a game. Derrick Johnson could definitely have worn it for a couple of seasons.

I don't disagree on Renfro's effort, and he seemed very well-liked among his teammates.  But he was also a part of some average to downright shitty defenses during his time in school.  Again, I'm not bagging on Dusty, but I'm not sure why he made the cut for what seems like a very high threshold to wear an almost sacred number.   

  

Need a healthy, consistent season from Shack.
