Ramonce Taylor was Texas’s human highlight reel — explosive, versatile, and impossible to ignore
In the 2005 season, Ramonce Taylor was one of Texas’s most electric weapons: 513 rushing yards at 6.8 per carry, 265 receiving yards, and 15 total touchdowns while also returning kicks[3][7][15]. His differentiator wasn’t just speed — it was do-it-all chaos, with production as a runner, receiver, and return man, plus a reputation for big-play burst and versatility that fit the Longhorns’ championship engine[10][12][14]. The caution flag is durability and off-field volatility: his Texas career was brief, and he later transferred after that breakout year[11].
