Every year, this thread re-enforces that some of the worst seasons we have had were when we put the numbers on top of the shoulders instead of on the side.

Hall of Honor -- Glenn Blackwood #37 🤘

Quote

Captain of the 1978 Longhorn football team, Glenn Blackwood was part of an incredible era of outstanding Texas defensive backs which first earned the Longhorns the nickname "DBU." The San Antonio native from Winston Churchill High School began his UT career in 1975, playing the final two years of Darrell Royal's tenure, and then played two years for Fred Akers. Playing in secondaries that included eventual NFL first-round draft picks Raymond Clayborn, Johnnie Johnson and Derrick Hatchett, Blackwood helped lead the Longhorns to a No. 1 ranking and a perfect 11-0 regular season in 1977. He led Texas in interceptions as the Longhorn won the Southwest Conference Championship and played for the National Championship that year. Despite losing the Cotton Bowl to Notre Dame, UT finished 11-1 (8-0 SWC) and ranked No. 4 nationally in the final Associated Press Poll and No. 5 in the UPI Coaches Poll. As a senior in 1978, Blackwood and the Longhorns went 9-3 and finished the year ranked No. 9 in both polls after capping the year with a 42-0 blowout of No. 13/12 Maryland in the Sun Bowl. A three-year starter for the Longhorns, Blackwood registered 131 tackles, four interceptions, 16 pass breakups, four caused fumbles and one fumble recovery and returned an interception for a touchdown. Texas compiled a 35-11-1 (24-7 SWC) record in his four years at Texas. An eighth-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins in 1979, Blackwood turned out to be a draft day steal as he blossomed into a star defensive back in the NFL. He played nickel back his rookie year and became a career starter for the Dolphins from then on, starting 106 of his 118 NFL games at strong safety. He helped the Dolphins win six division titles (1979, 1981-85) and played in two Super Bowls (SB XVII and XIX) during his 10-year career (1979-88). He retired in 1989 with 29 career interceptions and 13 fumble recoveries. In 1980, he led the NFL with four fumble recoveries, and 12 of his interceptions came during the peak of his career in 1984 and 1985. In 1981, Blackwood's brother, Lyle, joined the Dolphins, and the two became known as the "Bruise Brothers." Lyle and Glenn played alongside each other at free and strong safety for four seasons. A key part of the Dolphins defense that was first tabbed the "Killer B's" in the strike-shortened season of 1982, Blackwood was named to the Dolphins' 50 best players in their first 50 seasons in 2015. He was a Dolphins nominee for the NFL Man of the Year and for the Ed Block Award for inspiration, sportsmanship and courage. He currently resides with his wife, Beth, in Palm Beach, Fla., where he provides consulting services to banks and financial institutions. He also spent time coaching his son, Jake, from 2000-06 at The Kings Academy in West Palm Beach, Fla. Jake went on to play safety at Georgia Tech, earning three letters (2006-08) for the Ramblin' Wreck.

William Graham played defensive back for the Texas Longhorns from 1979 to 1981. In 11 games in 1980, he recorded four interceptions. In 11 games in 1981, he recorded seven more, tying the school record, leading the Southwest Conference and tied for third in the nation. His 11 career interceptions were fourth all-time at Texas.

He played for the Detroit Lions for six years.

Houston spent two years as a starting defensive tackle after playing his first two years at defensive end. He played in 50 career games, starting 33, at defensive tackle (21) and defensive end (12) and notched 170 tackles, 15 sacks, 43 tackles for a loss, 65 pressures, 13 passed defended, two fumble recoveries and a forced fumble for his career.

Houston was a first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2009 after garnering honorable mention all-conference honors in 2007. He was a second-team Academic All-Big 12 selection in 2006 and a three-time member of the Texas Athletics Director’s Honor Roll.
