Texas' Heisman Trophy winners chatted about UT, Campbell-Williams Field and more on Longhorn Network.
AUSTIN, Texas - At the request of the Jamail family, Joe Jamail Field was renamed in honor of Longhorn Legends and Heisman Trophy winners Earl Campbell (1974-77) and Ricky Williams (1995-98) earlier this week. The field at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium will now be known as Campbell-Williams Field. Campbell and Williams, the only two Longhorns to win the Heisman Trophy, discussed their time at The University of Texas, the field renaming and more with Longhorn Network. A look at their two-part conversation:
The two greatest RBs in Texas history are now the namesakes of the field at DKR.
