ARLINGTON, Texas — After telling the story, in an extremely rough estimation, about 1,000 times, Texas Longhorns redshirt junior nose tackle Keondre Coburn admits that he probably needs to change how he tells it.
On this particular day — last Thursday at Big 12 Media Days — the charismatic anchor of the Longhorns defense is sticking with the usual version.
Coburn was working against sophomore running back Bijan Robinson in practice and threw all of his 350 or so pounds at the 6’0, 215-pound back. “I hit him with all my power and I thought he was down,” Coburn tells the assembled media.
