Steve Worster Cause Of Death
Steve Worster, a two-time first-team All-American and star running back on Texas’ 1969 and 1970 National Championship teams has died. He passed away Saturday August 13, 2022 at the age of 73.
A cause of death was not stated. Worster attended Bridge City High School in Bridge City, Texas, where he played catcher on the baseball team and fullback on the football team.
He was heavily recruited to play football for several schools. However, upon consideration, he chose to accept a scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin, and while there, he made a great name for himself.
During his years at Texas, Worster rushed for 2,353 yards and scored 36 touchdowns. His teams won three Southwest Conference titles and two national championships.
Worster was featured on the cover of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football magazine in 1970 and finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting for the 1970 season.
Worster, a punishing blocker, was a powerful, hard-running fullback with breakaway speed and was famed as the linchpin of perhaps the greatest and most innovative offense in Texas Longhorns history.
He was a perfect fit for the fullback position in the Longhorns triple-option attack that took the nation by storm in the late 1960s.
He is survived by two children, Scott and Erin and four grandchildren: Scott’s son Evan and daughter Morgan, and Erin’s sons Noah and Lukas.
