The annual Herbie Awards list was released on ESPN this week and four Texas Longhorns garner honors from the ESPN college football expert. Every year Kirk Herbstreit names his top players in several traditional and also some not so traditional categories. It’s always a fun read and Herbstreit really knows his stuff and doesn’t just pick the same 5 most hyped guys as the rest of the media would.

Here’s where the four Longhorns made his lists:

[tag]Jordan Shipley[/tag]: #6 Top Wide Receiver
[tag]Colt McCoy[/tag]: #2 Dual Threat Quarterback
[tag]Sergio Kindle[/tag]: #4 Best Defensive Ends
[tag]Alex Okafor[/tag]: #8 Top True Freshmen

I think all four guys are definitely deserving and no glaring Longhorn-related omissions. There’s definitely a few player that I think will earn their way onto this list (namely [tag]Earl Thomas[/tag] and [tag]Aaron Williams[/tag]) but there is still much to prove on the field for those guys.
