🏈 Vintage Earl Campbell University of Texas Longhorns Autographed/Signed Orange Football Jersey — Beckett BAS Certified Authentic — The Tyler Rose in Burnt Orange, the 1977 Heisman Trophy Winner From Tyler, Texas Who Played for the Hometown State University and Became One of the Greatest College Running Backs the State Had Produced

🏈 Before Earl Campbell became the Houston Oilers' "Tyler Rose," before the three consecutive NFL rushing titles, before the Pro Bowl selections and the Hall of Fame induction — he was a University of Texas Longhorn in burnt orange, a kid from Tyler, Texas who had chosen to stay in his home state and play for the flagship program of the state that had shaped him. His four seasons at the University of Texas (1974-1977) culminated in a 1977 Heisman Trophy campaign that was not a close vote — Campbell rushed for 1,744 yards and 18 touchdowns in his senior year, led Texas to a Southwest Conference championship, and won the Heisman in a season that confirmed everything the recruiting evaluators had projected when they first watched him run at John Tyler High School. This University of Texas orange football jersey, certified authentic by Beckett BAS with Campbell's signature, is the burnt orange chapter — the foundation of the story before the NFL began.
