Worster was a two-time first-team All-American and star running back on Texas’ 1969 and 1970 National Championship teams.
One of the nation's premier running backs who was among the most dominant figures in Darrell Royal's famed Texas wishbone offense from 1968-70, Steve Worster passed away on Saturday. He was 73. The legendary Longhorn and two-time All-American is a member of the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor as well as the Texas Sports, Texas High School Football and Cotton Bowl Halls of Fame.
A powerful, hard-running fullback with breakaway speed, who also was a punishing blocker, Worster was the linchpin of perhaps the greatest and most innovative offense in Texas Longhorns history.
