A year ago, Texas quarterback Jerrod Heard put up a school-record 527 yards in a last-second loss to Cal. This week, the Longhorns get their rematch and Heard is making an impact at a different spot: wide receiver.
Heard hauled in two touchdowns last week in a victory over UTEP and believes his new job couldn’t be easier. We caught up with Heard this week to discuss his position transition and Shane Buechele’s strong start.
How easy is playing wide receiver?
Jerrod Heard: I don’t want to say it’s extremely easy.
