Last Thursday, Texas Longhorns junior wide receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey caused a social media controversy when he shared the feelings he’d submitted as a writing project for his American Literature class:
Humphrey’s writing immediately divided the Longhorns fan base, with a number of calls to silence his speech and speculattion about whether it would impact the football team’s chemistry.
So far, there haven’t been any signs of fractures in the football program along those lines and both head coach Tom Herman and athletics director Chris Del Conte expressed their support for Humphrey during Big 12 Media Days this week in Frisco.
