Jimmy Saxton
James Everett "Jimmy" Saxton Jr. (May 21, 1940 – May 28, 2014) was an All-American football and College Hall of Fame player for the University of Texas and a finalist for the 1961 Heisman trophy. He played one year of professional football, winning one AFL Championship with the 1962 Dallas Texans.
==College Football==
Though he never took a snap in high school, Texas coach Darrell Royal envisioned Saxton as a quarterback, and so during his freshman and sophomore years that was the position he played.〔 Though in 1959, Texas would have no fewer than 6 quarterbacks and Saxton would see the least playing time of all of them.
After the 1959 season, Royal asked Saxton to switch to Halfback, the prime running back in the Winged-T formation and Saxton agreed. The following season he led the Longhorns in rushing.〔
In his senior season, Saxton and the Longhorns broke out. That season he set the school and Southwest Conference record for yards per carry, became Texas' first consensus All-American running back and finished third in Heisman voting behind Syracuse's Ernie Davis and Ohio State's Bob Ferguson. The Longhorns, meanwhile, were ranked #1 for only the 3rd time in school history and the 1961 team was the first in school history to hold the #1 ranking for two weeks. It was the first Royal team to contend for the National Championship and went 10-1. After beating everyone but Oklahoma by at least 3 touchdowns and with only two very beatable teams left on the schedule, they seemed to be a lock to finish the season ranked #1. But they suffered their only loss in a shocking 6-0 upset at the hands of 24-point underdog TCU on a trick play, in a game that Saxton had to leave after he was knocked unconscious on a controversial knee-to-the-head early in the game. He finished his career with a win over Mississippi State in the 1962 Cotton Bowl in which he set the school record for longest punt in a bowl game with a 73 yard quick kick.
