When Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman met with the media on Tuesday afternoon for the first time since the Alamo Bowl, Herman announced a number of position changes on his roster and one player who will at the same position as last season.
One of the most-anticipated moves was redshirt freshman Jordan Whittington from running back to slot receiver, the position at which the Longhorns recruited him out of Cuero. Known as the H position in Herman’s offense, Whittington will likely still see time at running back in the hybrid role that produced 10 carries and a touchdown for Devin Duvernay last season.
