2021 NFL Draft profile: Texas WR Tarik Black

Where to start with Texas Longhorns wide receiver Tarik Black?

Black, a fourth-year senior in 2020, left the Michigan Wolverines after finishing his bachelor’s degree to join the Forty Acres for a season. Thanks to the curveball the COVID-19 pandemic threw at last year’s college football season, he was granted an extra year of eligibility, but is still opting to pursue his dreams among professional football’s great.

It’s a confounding decision to go pro considering Black hasn’t developed at the rate expected, and with some of the wide receiver holes the Longhorns will have to fill in 2021.
